Body found of 7 year old, Somer Thompson of Florida

Missing child's body was found in a Georgia landfill, near her home in Florida. Somer Thompson, the little girl who lived in Orange Park, FL, disappeared on Monday, while walking home from school with her sister and a friend. Somer was misbehaving and her sister asked her to stop. Somer got angry and ran ahead of the group and was never seen again.

An Orange Park detective suggested they search a close-by landfill where the little girl's neighborhood garbage trucks take their trash. On Tuesday all the trucks were inspected as they came to the landfill. This was a smart decision by the police. The body may have been buried under tons of garbage, if they had not acted so quickly. Police went through 100 tons of garbage before they found Somer Thompson's missing body. Somer's clothing and a birth mark, helped police identify her body.

The Orange Park police, so far, have been interviewing 70 registered sex offenders from that area. There are officially 161 offenders within a 5 mile radius of the little girl's home. Also a $25,000 reward is being offered to anyone who can lead police to the arrest of the person responsible for her murder.

    my prayers go out to the thompson family...

    i have an 8 year old sister and an 18month old daughter

    and when i read the heinous crime that has been done to poor Somer,

    shivers ran down my spine just thinking about my loved ones in this scenario.

    i couldn't imagine the pain they must be feeling...

    and I,too, will NEVER understand why ANYONE could even consider hurting a child...

    It never fails, when they live in such a saturated area of sex offenders, the children do not have a chance. Parents, check your resources of where and how many sex offenders are in your area - if there are MOVE!!! Yuor children are not safe. If you are not able to move, do not lose sight of your child even for a moment.

    God Bless this family.

    I feel so bad for the family, too, especially the sister. That is the last conversation she had with her sister and will haunt her the rest of her life.

    The sick people that do this to children - should not be allowed to run the streets - ever again!

    It really makes me angry when I hear about these type of stories. I hope these people that commit these type of crimes burn in hell. I hope they die slowly, very slowly from a painful death.

    DIE MOTHER F***RS, DIE.....
