Another child is missing in Florida.
7 year old Somer Renee Thompson has been missing since the afternoon of October 19, 
2009. She was walking home from the from Grove Park Elementary School at approximately 2:50 pm with her twin brother, her sister and some friends when she ran ahead of the group and was never seen again.
An AMBER ALERT has been issued by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
Police suspect foul play in the 7 year olds disappearance. After 200 leads, questioning of 58 sex offenders and searches by 100’s of law enforcement, there are no “persons of interest” or physical evidence indicating where missing Somer Renee Thompson might be.
It appears that Tim Miller and the volunteers of Texas EquuSearch will be coming to Florida to help search for Somer Renee Thompson.
Plea from mom Diena Thompson: “She’s One of the Most Loving Little Girls in the Whole Wide World”
“They should know that she’s one of the most loving little girls in the whole wide world. She doesn’t know a stranger,” Diena Thompson said of her daughter, Somer. “And if somebody has her, please just bring her home.”
UPDATE I: Body of Missing Somer Renee Thompson found in Landfill
Sadly, the body of 7 year old Somer Renee Thompson has been found in a Georgia landfill. Investigators have confirmed that the body of a young girl that was found in a Georgia landfill about 50 miles from the Jacksonville, FL area where Somer went missing was Somer Renee Thompson.
Officials from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation say that they will not determine, nor disclose, until an autopsy is performed tomorrow morning if the body is that of little Somer Thompson. Thompson vanished on her mile-long walk home from school Monday in Orange Park, Florida. John Bankhead, spokesman for the GBI tells Fox that the investigators are still at the scene where the body was discovered, but that the body of the young female has been sent to Savannah, GA for the autopsy in the morning.
UPDATE II: Florida Police Confirm Body in Landfill Is That of Missing Girl
After sifting through 100 tons of garbage, investigators found the body of deceased 7 Year Old Somer Renee Thompson. One thing is for certain that if Somer was sexually assaulted and DNA evidence can be found, it is most probable that there will be an arrest. It is hard to believe that this was not an abduction of opportunity by a sex offender. The fact that she was walking home from school, a prime opportunity for a sex offender to snatch a victim, cannot be lost here. Predators wait until one separates from the pack and then they pounce.
The partially covered body was found in a Georgia landfill near the Florida state line, after investigators followed garbage trucks leaving the neighborhood where Somer disappeared.
Beseler said investigators searched through 100 tons of garbage before finding the body.
CNN: The body of a small child found in a south Georgia landfill has been identified as that of a missing 7-year-old Florida girl, Clay County, Florida, Sheriff Rick Beseler said Thursday morning.
Our hearts and prayers are with the family and friends of Somer Renee Thompson and may she rest in eternal peace.

Poor mom. Someone find her i am crying when i see that video. FIND HER. THEY FOUND they found a body of a girl
poor kids thats soooooooooo sad i would cry too
If she was sexually assaulted there will be DNA and the LE can potentially do a match to the sex offenders database.
It will be pretty easy to determine where the garbage came from as people always throw away mailers with addresses on them.
Police did great work in this case.

SM ~ police did great work in this case and what saddens me when I heard this on T.V. was the announcer mentioned when the Amber alert came out was ~ that they were “interviewing” registered sex offenders around that area… that sickened me…
Why are sex offenders allowed back into our neighborhoods in the first place! It’s hard for me to continually digest and I will NEVER understand it.
I feel so saddened another child has been murdered and her family must be devastated beyond words… I am praying for them…
How many more children need to be taken before society does something?
I’ve a friend from Egypt… we discussed this ~ in their country, if you sexually assault or rape a child or woman… you’re hung.
This is heartbreaking! When are we as a society going to do something about our children being preyed upon? If this was a first time offender there might not be much that could be done, but we see so many of these cases where the perps are let out to strike again! Something needs to be done!
My heart and prayers goes out to the family.
I agree, Pat!
May God be with this family. They have a long journey ahead of them. I hope this lights a fire under our Governments Arses and Sex Offenders start to get harsher punishment. I say ship them off the Egypt with a tag around their necks ready “I sexually assaulted a child” and be done with it. One child is too many!
sick bastard,,,,,,,
Another one missing today in Missouri.walking home close by from playing… People need to wake up..kids aren’t safe out alone in the yard, let alone walking.. alone.. I don’t care how safe it looks, it isn’t. When are they gonna wake up and put these sex offenders away from children. Seems to be open season on women and children.
Amen, ONE child is TOO many~!
It will continually be open season on women and children as long as our legislators sit on their arses and continually ignore this National epidemic!~
It cost too much money to keep an offender in jail/prison… is this all about $ money? Aren’t our children worth it?
($50,000.00 a year to keep a sex offender locked up in Massachusetts)… so, they release these em…
It’s worth every freaking dollar to keep these monsters off our streets ~ and out of our neighborhoods ~
Now, if the U.S. adopted Egypt’s practices… imagine how that would curb sexual crimes committed against children and women?

I agree with Kitty – if there is proof, DNA proof, why do they get a trial? Can’t we just hang them and save taxpayer money? Use it for education or to help those kids who have been rescued from kidnappers for their therapy.
Eqypt, Singapore – lots of countries have strict laws. Why not US? The judicial system benefits criminals, not victims.
I totally agree with comment #6; sexual predators or children rapists should be hung by the fkn balls but not before they’re raped as well.
