If my memory is correct there is one right at the end of the parking lot/pick up area i want to say each side of it and then one on Debarry and Gano.

Cam would be able to say for sure since its been a few months since I was home. God bless you Cam for being there to help find Somer.

not the first one, but the second one is Grove Park Rd, I do think. My son asked the crossing guard there, and he said that he was there when she went missing, and she never made it to there.....

We were told today, not sure the truth of it, but that she only made it past the first crossing guard...and that there are 3 between the school and the intersection..LE was parked near the area also for when the school children get out....according to who we spoke to today, she never made it to the intersection of Gano and Debarry...the news is saying otherwise...so I don't know. I went back to the area when school let out today, to see what side of the road she would have been walking on, thinking that if a car pulled up, they would more than likely be on her side of the street to take her, this showed me that the car would have been going the opposite direction, meaning back towards the school.....but I don't know for sure...

do they regularly have LE parked near schools there? (by there, I guess I mean in the states or in Florida b/c I'm in Canada)

that is interesting... makes you wonder about the sibbling's story then. It was actually LE who said the last seen was at this intersection when she walked off.

But now it has me wondering... how could she "walk off" at an intersection with a crossing guard??? This is a little hard for me to wrap my head around

yes, they do, this helps with those speeding thru the school zones...if it is anything like at my son's school, they are always on their computer when you drive by.....just sayin....

She's beautiful.
I was just going to follow this one in the news, but the news reports all conflict.
Then I was just going to read the thread, but it made my fingers itchy, so here I am.
Let's find Somer.

(This is my way of asking for a really condensed update.)

As far as what I've heard, she is in second grade, possibly first, 7 y/o. Was walking home from school with at least two other kids at 2:45-2:50 pm. Walked ahead, got separated, and in a 15-20 minute span on time, disappeared. No solid suspects, no solid leads except for the little girl that was almost kidnapped a week and a half ago. Seeking a blue 4 door Nissan. Residential, residual traffic area.
Do I have the basics?

I'm not sure if this has been addressed as I just picked up on this tragic abduction of little Sommer. I immediately googled the area and sure enough highway 15 runs about a block and a half away from the school. This reminds me of how close highways were from Lindsey's McCleary location.

It seems to me that predator groups are just driving the highways picking up young girls for potential sex rings. The idea that a week or so before this abduction another attempt was made in the same area. The idea that a female was involved in that previous abduction attempt along with a couple of males (according to eye witness accounts) lends some credence, imo, that much of this abduction stuff in the US, along major throughways, is related to child sex rings and perhaps the FBI should seriously investigate that idea and look for some sort of common denominator relative to what appears to be some sort of child abduction along major throughfares frenzy (for lack of a better term).

When I googled the area where Sommer was abducted my first thought was to zoom out and see if there was a highway through the area, and close by. It didn't take me long to see highway 15 just a few blocks away.

you got it NMK.. did you also get the part that SP (boyfriend who lives with the family) was at home after school with kids while mom was working and sent the other two sibs out to look for Somer (supposedly... it was kinda ifffy speak at the presser) when they came home and said she had "walked off" and they looked for about an hour... than mom called to check in (normal check in call) and upon finding out she was missing left work and went to le

I actually just moved from this area. I use to take the back roads to avoid blanding traffic to go to the doc every week. It is not quite a mile from the school. the school is pretty close, however for a 7 yr old to be walking it with or with out other kids imo should not happen no matter where you live. What bothers me is this, I know how many people are on that road when school gets out. There are is atleast one maybe two crossing gaurds between the school and Debarry, not to mention the other kids and alot of cars from picks or parents walking with the kids. So I dont understand how with all this around how no one knows what happened to her. I hope and pray she is found safe and is home soon.raying:
