Missing Florida Girl

The search for a 7 year old missing North Florida girl has now turned into the search for a child killer.  Somer Thompson disappeared Monday afternoon in Orange Park, Florida as she was walking the mile home from elementary school with her twin brother, 10 year old sister and several friends.  At some point, they noticed Somer was missing.  Almost 2 days to the hour from that moment, investigators at a Georgia landfill discovered two small legs protruding from the trash heap.

Clay County ...

Sheriff Rick Beseler identified the body this morning as Somer Thompson, due to a distinct birthmark Somer had on her leg as well as the clothing Somer’s mother said she wore to school Monday.   A Georgia medical examiner began the autopsy in Savannah, Georgia this morning, to determine the exact cause of death, try to discover any DNA other than Somer’s on the body and also use dental records to officially declare the body found in the landfill is that of the missing 7 year old.

Investigators from a dozen local, state and federal agencies are now involved in the hunt for Somer Thompson’s killer.
