Body of Missing Florida Girl Believed Found in Georgia
Authorities searching for missing 7-year-old Somer Thompson said they found the body of a young child in a Georgia landfill today, but it has not yet been identified.
From what I’ve heard, it is most likely the body of the missing girl but only time will tell for sure.
From the Associated Press:
Clay County, Fla., Sheriff Rick Beseler first said the body was a female, but then corrected himself and said he couldn’t yet confirm the gender. The parents of Somer Thompson, who has been missing since Monday, have been notified.
The body was found by Clay County detectives who followed garbage trucks from the girl’s neighborhood to Folkston, Ga., just north of the Florida state line.
Beseler said investigators searched through 100 tons of garbage before finding the partially covered body. He did not give any other details about the discovery.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation was helping with the investigation and planned to conduct an autopsy on the body Thursday in its Savannah office, spokesman John Bankhead said.
“We all need to say a prayer for Somer’s family,” Florida Gov. Charlie Crist said at a press conference announcing the discovery.

I will await the Positive ID, but it doesn’t look Good, and my Heart is already Saddened, and my Anger over the Abduction and Murder of yet another Innocent Little Child is beyond Words. Although no Suspects have been Found and/or Named at this point, I understand from the News Reports that there are at least 80 Regsistered Sex-Offenders around the Area, and I would Bet that one of them has Striked again. This just Sickens me, and I Pray to God to help the Authorities get the Worthless Scum-Bag responsible, and for the Strength, Support, and Comfort this poor Child’s Family desperately needs.
