Part 2:
Person of Interest in Somer Thompson Case
Person of Interest Jarred Harrell, 24, Arrested on 29 Child *advertiser censored* Charges, Lived Near Thompson
Posted: Thursday, 11 February 2010 10:23PM

Police have arrested a former neighbor of Somer Thompson, the 7-year old girl whose body was found in landfill last fall, and named him a person of interest in the girl's disappearance and murder, investigators said today.
Diena Thompson's Advice for Parents
It is a struggle to balance that anger with a mother's need to stay strong for her remaining children. Thompson said the ordeal has been especially hard on Somer's twin, Samuel. They used to play in the pool together and race each other to see who could stay underwater the longest.
"We used to nickname her 'Grace' because she couldn't really walk and chew bubblegum at the same time," Thompson said of Somer. She loved to dance, but she had no rhythm, Thompson said.
"She was just so wonderful. And you take it for granted. You never think you're gonna be sitting here," Thompson said. "And you have a lot of regret because you may have been too busy. And you weren't really busy. You were just too busy in your head. And I'll have to live with that, and that's hard."
She said she would tell other parents to be sure and tell their children they love them every day. "It don't take but a couple seconds. And when you think you're too busy, really think about what you're saying you're too busy for. Because you don't want to live with this. That's what I regret. It's hard to live with regret and guilt," she said.
Diena understands acutely that the world's attention will move on. The flowers in her home are beginning to fade. The vigils that used to occur nightly have grown more infrequent.
But she is determined to continue the fight for justice. "I know I'm not gonna let this monster win. I will be victorious in the end, and he will pay," she said. "We're gonna get him, and he will pay. And I hope he's scared."

Sheriff names child *advertiser censored* suspect a person of interest in Somer Thompson slaying
Family friends of the former Clay man said they are sickened by the news.
Story updated at 1:58 AM on Friday, Feb. 12, 2010
<snipped>
A Middleburg woman whose daughter was a one-time roommate of Harrell and who said she has known him and his family for years described him as a recluse who enjoyed playing computer games.
Lisa Buchanan said Harrell spent at least some time alone in his mother’s home at 1152 Gano Ave. at the time of Somer’s disappearance.
She said her daughter then found child *advertiser censored*, with girls as young as 6, on a computer and computer discs Harrell left behind. Buchanan and her 46-year-old husband, Rod, said they went with their daughter to turn over the materials to police in August. Those materials were in turn given to the state attorney general’s Cyber Crimes Unit. Processing was not finished until after Somer’s death, authorities said.
The Buchanans said they spotted Harrell’s vehicle outside his mother’s home a few days after Somer’s body was found and alerted police to their concerns about him. The couple said Harrell’s mother and stepfather moved out of the home about two weeks before Somer’s disappearance.
The couple also said police became extremely interested after learning Harrell had been spending time at his parents’ otherwise vacant home.
Police have said they recently have been receiving a steady stream of laboratory tests of DNA and other evidence collected from where her body was found in a Folkston landfill.
Records obtained by The Times-Union show the listed property owner, General L. Dailey — Harrell’s stepfather — moved out of the home late last year. Dailey, 66, owned the single-story brick house since 1996, according to Clay County property appraiser records.

Somer Thompson: Person of interest arrested
Last Update: 2/11 11:54 pm
<snipped>
Clay County Sheriff's Office Statement
I have a short announcement to make and afterwards I will not be taking any questions:
Members of the media have been inquiring about police activity on Gano Ave. today involving a search of a residence there. Additionally, other residences in Callahan, FL and Lauderdale County, Mississippi and a vehicle were searched in connection with this investigation.
Earlier today a search warrant was executed at a residence at 1152 Gano Ave. Investigators from the Clay County Sheriff’s Office, the FBI and FDLE conducted a search for evidence in which a suspect has been arrested for 29 counts of possession of child *advertiser censored* that occurred in Clay County recently. The suspect is identified as Jarred Harrell, 24 years of age, who formerly resided at the residence on Gano Ave.
We are also naming Harrell as a person of interest in connection with the abduction and murder of Somer Thompson. Harrell was arrested today on child *advertiser censored* charges by federal agents in Meridian, Mississippi without incident and is being held on a 1 million dollar bond on those charges.
I cannot comment further about how Harrell may be connected to the Thompson case as that would require I comment on evidence in an ongoing investigation. Throughout this entire investigation we have been very careful to protect the integrity of our investigation by not releasing details that could be detrimental to the successful outcome or prosecution of the person responsible for this crime.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Sheriff still not connecting arrest to Somer Thompson Case
Last Update: 2/11 11:56 pm
<snipped>
Somer Thompson's family is still waiting for justice. Now for the first time in months, the Sheriff is talking about a possible person of interest in the case. "A suspect has been arrested, and charged with 29 counts of child *advertiser censored*," said Sheriff Rick Beasler.
But the sheriff is still very tight-lipped on how harrell is connected Somer's murder. "That would require I discuss evidence in an ongoing investigation," said the Sheriff.
Sheriff Beasler says he won't do that. "We have been careful to protect the integrity of the investigation by not releasing details that could be detrimental to the successful outcome of the investigation or prosecution of the person responsible for this crime."

Harrell's family friends suspect him in Somer's murder
Last Update: 12:56 am
<snipped>
Rod and Lisa Buchanan are family friends with Jarred Harrell. Their Daughter and her fiance lived with Harrell in the Summer of 2009 in an apartment off the 2000 block of Wells. Rd in Orange Park.
When the roommates suspected Harrell had child *advertiser censored* on his computer, they took a closer look at the computer. "She called me at work crying and was sick to her stomach," said Lisa Buchanan about the day in August when her daughter called and told her about what she found on the computer. Buchanan says her daughter and her fiance turned the computer over to police.
Police say Harrell's computer contained pictures and videos of child *advertiser censored*. Some of the pictures, according to police, were on a CD labeled "Don't lose music."
In October, when 7-year-old Somer Thompson disappeared and was found dead, the Buchanans suspected Harrell right away. "You just get that sick instinct in your gut," said Lisa Buchanan.
The Middleburg couple has little doubt that Harrell is Somer's killer. "My gut instinct is yes," said Lisa Buchanan

The computer, which had a filed called "Toddler Insertion," held "a large amount of child erotica and also child *advertiser censored*," documents said.
The roommates, who discovered the files, turned the computer over to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office on Aug. 10, two months before Thompson disappeared.

GMA~Exclusive: Diena Thompson, Mother of Murdered Somer Thompson: 'I Want [Killer] to Die'
Mother's Heartbreaking Call for Answers Came Days Before Person of Interest Named in Child's Murder
Feb. 12, 2010
<snipped>
"Why? Give me your best excuse, your best reason as to why you had to do this," Thompson told ABC News in an exclusive interview that aired today on "Good Morning America." "I want them to die. I want them to get the death penalty. I have to be the voice for Somer."
The emotional interview took place just days before police named a former neighbor of the Thompson's a person of interest in the girl's death on Thursday. Jarred Harrell, 24, was arrested on 29 unrelated charges of possession of child *advertiser censored*.
Thompson, however, is determined to find her daughter's killer and said she can't wait to meet him or her face to face. "I feel like it'll give me some more closure because I still blame myself, you know? What if I did this?" she said. "And instead of looking in the mirror and blaming myself, I'm going to have a picture of someone else to blame. I want to see this person's face. I can't wait to meet him face to face."
Thompson said she wants to know everything about how her daughter died. "I was there when she was born and I should know, how she left," she said. "Because I've built up so many scenarios in my head, that I honestly don't feel like anything they could tell me could be any worse than what I've already made up in my head."

Man Arrested in Somer Thompson Case
7-Year-Old Florida Girl's Body Found in Landfill; Jarred Mitchell Harrell Called Person of Interest
ORANGE PARK, Fla., Feb. 12, 2010
<snipped>
Clay County Sheriff Rick Beseler said Jarred Mitchell Harrell, 24, who had lived in the girl's neighborhood was arrested in Mississippi Thursday on 29 charges of possession of child *advertiser censored*. Officials at the Lauderdale County Detention Facility in Mississippi said they didn't know if he has a lawyer.
Harrell, who was arrested in Meridian, Miss., had lived until recently in a home near Somer Thompson's. Authorities searched that house Thursday.
Dawn Nuss, 39, whose 8-year-old daughter Christina used to walk home with Somer, said her daughter told her that Somer used to stop at the house and pet a white dog. No one would ever come out of the house. Sometimes Somer would run ahead of the children walking home and hide in a ditch.

Search For Somer's Killer Leads To Mississippi
Person Of Interest Arrested; Vacant Orange Park Home Searched
POSTED: Friday, February 12, 2010
UPDATED: 9:57 am EST February 12, 2010
<snipped>
Beseler said Jarred Harrell has been charged with 29 counts of possession of child *advertiser censored* that occurred in Clay County, and he was arrested Thursday by federal agents in Meridian, Miss., and is being held on $1 million bond.
Beseler said other residences in Callahan and Lauderdale County, Miss., and a vehicle have also been searched in connection with the case.
According to documents released by the Clay County Sheriff's Office, Harrell possessed child *advertiser censored* on his computer at a Wells Road apartment complex. Harrell was asked to move out of his residence in August after his roommates found out that he stole from them, according to an arrest warrant. He left the residence, leaving his computer and a box of CDs behind, according to the warrant. Authorities said Harrell moved into the home on Gano Avenue between that time and December, when neighbors said he moved out. According to the arrest warrant, the computer was processed by the attorney general's office, and that's when five movies and 24 child pornographic images were found showing children as old as 10 and 13 years old.

Snow hampering Harrell's first appearance
Last Update: 10:28 am
<snipped>
Its snowing hard here in Meridian, Mississippi. That snow is preventing Jarred Harrell from making his first appearance at the Lauderdale County Courthouse. Most employees can't get to work.
That means Jarred Harrell may not appear before a judge until Tuesday. Monday is Presidents Day. I spoke with Lauderdale County Sheriff Billy Sollie and he tells me Harrell could sign paperwork to be extradited back to Clay County without appearing before a judge.
Last night, photojournalist Jamey Cicalese and I drove nine hours from Jacksonville to learn more about Harrell. We've been in Meridian and for a few hours now. The snow keeps falling steadily.
We'll keep you posted on what we learn in Meridian.
Suspect Jarred Harrell is being held in Lauderdale County

Harrell aunt calls him "sweet dough boy"
Last Update: 11:52 am
<snipped>
My photojournalist and I just left the house Harrell was staying at in Meridian. He was staying with his Aunt, Kriss Mizelle. Mizelle's house was searched by the FBI Thursday afternoon and the computers were taken.
Mizelle tells me Harrell was visiting her last week. She said he enjoyed Meridian and started looking for a job.
She says Harrell was just a "big dough boy" and a good guy. She doesn't believe he had child *advertiser censored* or has anything to do with Somer Thompson's death. "He wasn't hiding. He wasn't acting strange," Mizelle told me.
Mizelle is upset because she says people are jumping to conclusions about her nephew. "He's not a freak," she told me.
Neighbor describes Harrell's FBI arrest
Feb 12 - 11:02 am
Right now I'm at Alma Bonner's house in Meridian. She lives across the street from where Jarred Harrell lived.
The 73-year-old baby sat her great grandchildren at her house this week and was shocked to learn Harrell is a person of interest in Somer Thompson's murder. Bonner says around 3:00 Thursday she saw about 20 law enforcement cars and dozens of people at the house.
Bonner told us she didn't know Harrell. She says she only saw his car at the house a few days.
Jarred Harrell's Aunt, Kriss Mizelle said people are jumping to conclusions about her nephew.

Neighbors: 'He Only Came Out When the Kids Came Out of School'

Directly across the street from the home FBI agents searched Thursday, a "for sale" sign points to frustration. "I moved out of here because of this," says neighbor Sandra Russell. Russell and her sister Connie Torres are moving out because they say Jarred Harrell freaked them out. "I knew he had a few loose screws that needed tightening up," Russell told First Coast News' Erich Spivey. "I watched that house constantly because something just told me there's something not right with it," Torres said.
The sisters started moving out weeks ago, and were greeted Friday with the stunning news. "I was devastated. I freaked out. All my friends started calling me. This is your neighbor.
He would sit outside about the time the kids would come home and he would wash his car," Russell said.
Added Torres: "He only came out when the kids came out of school."

Blog: On The Trail Of Jarred Harrell
Channel 4 Reporter Jennifer Bauer's Blog From Mississippi
POSTED: Friday, February 12, 2010
UPDATED: 11:14 am EST February 12, 2010
<snipped>
Channel 4 reporter Jennifer Bauer and photojournalist Matt James traveled to Lauderdale County, Miss., where the man named a person of interest in the abduction and killing of Somer Thompson is in jail on child *advertiser censored* charges.
She is sending periodic updates from the place where Jarred Harrell moved sometime after leaving the home on Gano Avenue in Orange Park that the FBI and other authorities searched for evidence Thursday afternoon and evening. Bauer is sending blog posts throughout the day on what she has learned about Harrell's life there and if and when he will appear in court on the charges. Her most recent posts will be first.
Friday, 10:15 a.m.:
Went to the house where Harrell lived in Meridian and talked with a woman who identified herself as his aunt. She said, "I don't believe a thing that they are saying about him. He is not a monster." Watch my interview with her on the news at noon.
Friday, 8:44 a.m.:
I just had a cup of coffee with the sheriff (yes, this town is as small as you'd imagine). He says Harrell is in his jail, but like we've been reporting all day, the courts are closed down. If he goes before a judge, the sheriff is going to call me so we can get the perp walk.
Sheriff tells me it won't exactly be a "first appearance" but more of a hearing to see what's going to happen to him. He'll likely be taken to Orange Park and may make is official "first appearance" there since it's their warrant. Clay County Sheriff Rick Beseler will have those answers.
In the meantime, we're going to drive around town and find where this guy lived, worked etc....
Friday, 7:32 a.m.:
Snow!!! The town is shut down. According to the radio reports they're expecting 5-7 inches.

Somer's Mom On 'Emotional Roller Coaster'
POSTED: Friday, February 12, 2010
UPDATED: 12:22 pm EST February 12, 2010
<snipped>
Diena Thompson has been waiting for closure since daughter Somer vanished in October. Her body was found two days later in a Georgia landfill. He has not been charged in Somer's death, and Diena Thompson's attorney, Michael Freed, said his client is trying not to get her hopes up about the latest development.
"This has been an emotional roller coaster for her," Freed said. "We want to make sure the ride comes to an end before she reacts."
Beseler released a statement that provided few details about the case and did not indicate what evidence makes Harrell a person of interest. "You just get this feeling that he's a very strange guy. He was not playing with a full deck. He's about four cans short of a six-pack," a neighbor said.
