FL - Somer Thompson, 7, Orange Park, 19 Oct 2009 #39

[Dr.Fessel]

Thanks noway - THAT's the presser (the one at 430) I was referring to - and the questions by the reporter (about a possible crimescene at Miller by the tracks) are made at the 10:55 minute mark:

http://www.news4jax.com/video/21352846/index.html

Could this (a false alarm sts) be what prompted the group of individuals to stop searching through the garbage trucks at Rosemary?

(ETA: I say FALSE ALARM because reporter asks about photographers, hounds, etc...at miller near the tracks & he replies something like we've found nothing to lead us to her whereabouts)

Here is what I think happened at miller by the tracks. During the night search the police found something suspicious and marked it off with crime scene tapae. That morning the techs went out and collected what could be evidence and a reporter saw them doing that.

The reporter ask if it is evidence or something. He makes his statement "found nothing to lead us to her whereabouts".

Until it is processed they have no idea if it is evidence, he can not say it is and he can not say it is not because if it turns out to be evidence the killer can make him testify in court to what he said about the thing not being evidence raising doubt.

Since all opinions are being tossed around, I'll throw my two cents in.

I think there is a very high likelihood that JH committed the crime against Somer. If he did not, I'm betting he knows who did (and I'm not a betting person).

LE doesn't usually name someone a POI unless they have good reason to. This fact alone makes me believe he knows more than he is saying.

That said, factoring in his child *advertiser censored* charges, quotes from people who know him, and his accessibility to Somer, I believe LE has their guy.

If evidence comes forth that proves otherwise, of course I will no longer think that.

As far as hoping he is charged with the murder, I believe it can be clarified like this.
-He was found in 3 months... hopefully that means there is evidence linking him to the crime and there will be a stronger case against him.
-It means there has been one less murderer on the street for the past two months (snatch him up ASAP as far as I'm concerned, we saw what happened with JAG)
-It means LE has to go find another person who is the real perp.
-Clearly, JH needs to be locked up because of his child *advertiser censored* charges. If he's not the murderer, that means we'll have another person whose jailhouse stay us taxpayers have to pay for.
-Justice for Somer needs to be served.


And also to answer the question about hoping JH is charged with the murder if he didn't do it. NO! That means someone else is getting off the hook. No way, no how.


That's all. Moo.

 

[Dr.Fessel]

What do you base your belief that he is the killer on?

Law Enforcement naming him a POI?
He lived on Somer's route home?
He was arrested on child *advertiser censored* charges which are not connected to somer's case?
Just a feeling?

Do you hope he is charged with murder even if he didn't do it?

Just wondering if you (or anyone else) could convict him for murder based on the evidence we know of at this time.

What if JH has some kind of receipt for a purchase made in Callahan on October 19th at around 3:00 p.m.? What if the evidence shows he was downloading another batch of *advertiser censored* or making another video at that time, say at his mother's house in Callahan? I'm not saying this is the case because I have no idea where he was nor what he was doing on Oct. 19 at 3:00 p.m., but IF it is, would that change your beliefs about him being the killer?

BBM
I am very puzzled by why you would ask such questions.

I think the people on here that believe JH is the murderer have given their reasons for believing this and have been very fair and opened minded along the sleuthing route.

Do you have a reason for suggesting we have not been fair and we have been closed minded in this? I ask that honestly and it would not hurt my feelings one bit and I can take constructive criticism.

Here is what you listed and I am going to add to it since those and more lead me to believe they got the right guy.

Law Enforcement naming him a POI?
He lived on Somer's route home?
He was arrested on child *advertiser censored* charges which are not connected to somer's case?
Just a feeling?

FBI telling Jarred's father he was not cooperating with the investigation.

The FBI getting a DNA sample from Jarred's dad.

Getting DNA from these two people suggest they have something to compare it to.

Jarred's escalating criminal behavior from looking at child *advertiser censored*, to down loading and secreting it away to molesting a child.

Jarred's inability to hold a job for a length of time.

Jarred's Mom telling him she is his alibi. There was no reason to tell him that if it was true. He already knew it.

Jarred's high bond suggest there is good evidence connecting him to Somer's murder. A judge would have to hear pretty good evidence to set the bond that high on those charges. Remember he had a million dollar bond just on the child *advertiser censored* not counting the molesting.

The States Attorney has been in this business for 25 years and she made the statement you can find in my signature and she will be the first one to stand up in court and tell us Jarred is a child murdering piece of crap.

I know there is more so I am saving this list to add to it in the future when I remember them.

Patience. Patience is a challenging state of mind when everyone wants action, answers, information and outcome. As sluthers we have interesting and creative ideas and opinions.... we need to all have patience with each other until the unknown is made known.

LE (which traditionally includes both police officers/investigators and DA staff), has to maintain patience too. They have a POI; they have executed warrants on JH's living quarters (multiple), vehicle, and computers he had access to. The evidence is either there or not (we have to practice that ol aggrevating patience until the info is made public). In fact, patience is their cornerstone in the ST investigation. We all agree that if the evidence is there... we want the state's case to be rock solid.

If he had a rock solid alibi for the time of her murder then I would not be able to convict him if I was on the jury.

What if his rock solid alibi was his mama?

 

[nursebeeme]

What if his rock solid alibi was his mama?

in light of her very interesting TAPED phone call with her son I don't see any sort of alibi she creates or otherwise to be any more solid than a marshmellow.

moo

 

[Dr.Fessel]

What if his rock solid alibi was his mama?

No, just her word would not be enough for me to call it rock solid.

 

[Kimberlyd125]

I'm glad you are confident, because I'm not. Show me that evidence.

I feel it's coming.

LE is not really worried about showing us the evidence at this point. IMO

 

[Kimberlyd125]

Just catching up and wanted to respond since I was quoted.

Of course I don't want there to be more child *advertiser censored* charges!!! What they have on him is enough sickness. I hope he didn't do any more things to other children as well.

What I said was a general statement that I hope there are more charges. I guess I thought everyone would know what I meant.

I meant, if JH is Somer's killer, wouldn't it be nice to see him charged for it???

And, of course we have not seen the evidence LE has. Why would we see the evidence now?

I'm sure they have evidence. JMO I think he's the killer and they will charge him. But,that's an opinion that is based on what I believe, not what I've seen yet.

JMO

BBM in my own quote because it answers some of your questions you posed to me when you quoted me.


I'll answer your questions in red just so it's easier to follow...

What do you base your belief that he is the killer on?

Law Enforcement naming him a POI? YES
He lived on Somer's route home? YES
He was arrested on child *advertiser censored* charges which are not connected to somer's case? YES
Just a feeling? YES

Do you hope he is charged with murder even if he didn't do it? NO - as you see in my quote above, I said IF he is the one who killed Somer, I hope to see him charged for it soon.

Just wondering if you (or anyone else) could convict him for murder based on the evidence we know of at this time. No - we don't have any evidence at this time, hard to convict without evidence, but I think LE does, but like I've stated several times, I don't know that for sure, it's an opinion based on what I believe.

What if JH has some kind of receipt for a purchase made in Callahan on October 19th at around 3:00 p.m.? What if the evidence shows he was downloading another batch of *advertiser censored* or making another video at that time, say at his mother's house in Callahan? I'm not saying this is the case because I have no idea where he was nor what he was doing on Oct. 19 at 3:00 p.m., but IF it is, would that change your beliefs about him being the killer?OF COURSE!!!! If he has proof he didn't do it, then he's not the killer right? I don't want to see him charged for the murder if he didn't do it. I want the right man charged...I just "think" he is that man

 

[Kimberlyd125]

What if his rock solid alibi was his mama?

:floorlaugh: :floorlaugh: :floorlaugh:

So solid, she had to remind him during that recorded call that she was in fact his alibi

:floorlaugh: :floorlaugh: :floorlaugh:

 

[Noway]

It will be interesting to see whether his alibi puts him in Callahan or Orange Park on October 19 and if Orange Park, what other family members were there at the time.

 

[Kimberlyd125]

I don't know why it seems some think a lot of us want JH to fry no matter if he killed Somer or not????

We are here because we want justice for Somer, no matter who goes down.

If they wrong person gets convicted, there's no justice right? That would be horrible IMO.

 

[Kimberlyd125]

It will be interesting to see whether his alibi puts him in Callahan or Orange Park on October 19 and if Orange Park, what other family members were there at the time.

I'm sure him mom will say he was in Callahan. If he was in Orange Park, I sure hope LE has proof of that.

IMO this mother will do whatever she can to get her son out of trouble.

 

[LaLaw2000]

I've said it before, and I will say it again. I believe that LE has Somer's murderer.

Of course we do not see the evidence LE has. I am thankful LE is taking their time and going to have a solid case before charging.

We are all stating our opinions here, and one opinion is just as valid as any other.

Thank God this child molester/pornographer is off the streets. He is locked up where he belongs.

[Noway]

If CCSO did not have proof that he was in Orange Park ... were they premature in naming him a person of interest?

 

[Kimberlyd125]

If CCSO did not have proof that he was in Orange Park ... were they premature in naming him a person of interest?

I agree!

 

[Kimberlyd125]

I have a general question, what happens if someone gives a false alibi?

You know, like what if LE has proof JH was in Orange Park and JH's mother says he was in Callahan? What would happen to her?

Not that it matters really, just wondering.

 

[Kimberlyd125]

False alibi
The giving of a false alibi, beside resulting in possible subsequent criminal offences (obstruction of justice, perjury, etc.), may, in some jurisdictions, result in negative ramifications for the trial itself.

[Noway]

If he is the murderer ... I think she'd do prison time. IDK
