Somer Thompson was released from Grove Park Elementary School in Grove Park, in Orange Park, FL at 2:50 p.m. She was with her twin brother, her 10-year-old sister and friends when she reportedly ran ahead of them after getting into a fight. Her brother and sister said she was not at home when they arrived at 3:05 p.m.
Somer's mother's boyfriend searched up and down the block for her when she didn't come home; her mother called home at 4 p.m. to check on the kids and immediately called authorities.
Clay County Sheriff Rick Beseler said officers are investigating whether Somer's disappearance is connected to an event that happened in the area on Oct. 10, when three people unsuccessfully tried to lure a 5-year-old girl into a car.
"We want to emphasize while we're taking this into consideration, we are not focusing just on this … we're exploring other areas and angles,” Beseler said.
He said 57 sex offenders have been interviewed within a 3-mile radius, and their homes and yards have been searched. The search was expanded Tuesday to a 5-mile radius, and officials say they will interview 30 more registered sex offenders.
"She is an endangered, missing child." Mahla said. "It would be very tough for her to survive [given her age, location and conditions outside], so we suspect foul play."
Thompson is white, 3 feet 5 inches tall and weighs 65 pounds. She has brown hair that was in a pony tail and was wearing a cranberry colored jumpsuit with pink stripes and a black T-shirt underneath. Her backpack is black with pink and white skulls and crossbones.
People are encouraged to call the tip line at (877) 227-6911 with any additional information on the child’s whereabouts.
God help this beautiful little girl.
I lived in this hell. Did I read they're interviewing 57 sex offenders in a 3 mile radius? 87 in five miles? WTF? I knew Florida was bad, but there can't be any neighbors that aren't sex offenders. If your effed up sexual exploits involve children and other illegalities, go to hell. Second, I hope you burn or die in prison a painful death. Third, if you move to Florida, you're no longer a minority.
