UPDATE  7AM: The Sheriff in Clay County, FL confirms that the body found in the Georgia landfill is that of the missing 7 year old Girl Somer Thompson.

 

 

ORLANDO, FL-Investigators have confirmed to Fox News that a body of a young girl  has been found in a south Georgia landfill  50 miles north of  the Jacksonville, FL-area where a 7 -year old girl has been missing since Monday afternoon.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. Bankhead also confirms that FBI agents , are assisting in the case, and where on the way to the scene from the Atlanta Office. A source close to investigation  says that this may turn into a federally-lead investigation by  Thursday morning.

Clay County, Florida Police said that  Thompson dissapeared Monday mid-afternoon when she was walking back home after school. She was walking with a group of  other children that included her older sister through their heavily-residential neighborhood. Thompson was squabbling with another child, and her sister told her to stop. Thompson got upset, and  walked ahead of the group. After the group of kids arrived at home they realized that Thompson was no where to be found, and they started looking for the child, but to no avail. Thompson's family then notified authorities of the missing child later in the evening. A large group of police, Navy officials ( There is a large Navy base Jacksonville) and volunteers joined in the search for little Somer in the last 48 hours.

Her with her twin brother.

Please everyone needs to do something about this, no matter what state your in!!! Write your congressman tell them you won't vote for him/her if they don't make harsher laws. The next murdered child could be YOURS!!! Pedophiles need to get life in prison-1st offense, they have killed the child's soul by molesting and/or raping them so charge them with murder and give them life behind bars so they can never harm another child ever again...because the next time they might make sure there's no living witness to identify them.

This is why my children go nowhere alone!!!  EVER!!!  A group of children alone, is a target for pedophiles, as this poor family found out.

My heart goes out to this child's parents.
