Chickenpants, I'm not sure where you are going with this. :waitasec:
I think they have moved beyond person of interest. They have arrested and charged Jarred Harrell. I think legally is now their prime suspect.
CCSO Arrest Report
Indictment PDF
However, I don't know why they ruled out registered sexual offenders so quickly when the charges against Jarred Harrell include the sexual battery of Somer.
He is charged with 794.011 (2)(a)
And from that same site:
I would say based on the charges, Somer was sexually molested.
According to the Arrest Report I posted above, he is also charged with FSS 800.04 (5)g
[SIZE=-1]There is no item "g" on this page. According to the Indictment PDF, it is FSS 800.04 (5)(b):

Im confused, Chick have you been following the case the last few months? JH was charged and is awaiting trial, he is no longer a POI he is the accused, included in documents pertaining to his arrest are the charges for molestation of a minor.
As far as the RSO's IIRC there were rooted out one by one and must have given sufficient assurance to LE that they could not have one this to Somer. How they checked out alibis etc. so quickly I am not sure, maybe because they all have their DNA on file LE could scan for matches very quickly.
I don't understand the DNA thing. They eliminated the construction workers immediately. The Corpus guy took until January, I believe according to 20/20. That made no sense.
Then it appeared that it took several weeks for the JH DNA. I simply do not understand it.
So I am wondering, if rather, they found something of Somer's in the JH house.
But that doesn't make sense either as it was searched by the FBI back in October, and there were months when the house could have been cleaned.
None of it makes sense to me.
Hi, I am not really going anywhere with anything...I read along several comments on the now-closed threads and there was still discussion about the sexual molestation. So he has been charged with sexual battery. I get that.
I still don't get why they ruled out the RSO's so rapidly, and would not reveal if she was molested or not. Then once they had him on the *advertiser censored*, everything sped forward. They had to have known at the time of the autopsy that she had been brutalized in that way. Why they hid the information and still have not put it in those terms I don't understand.
So they arrested JH on the child *advertiser censored* charges and information unfolded...the 3 year old, etc. The only tie-in to Somer at that point, from my understanding, was that he was into child *advertiser censored* and lived in her neighborhood.
I have to surmise then that the "information" he gave them at some point connected to him to her molestation and murder. It would be interesting to know what information he gave and why, if he is one step away from being tried, that information is still not available. Enough has been said and done to prejudice his case already.
BBM. I believe they were looking at him as a murder suspect prior to the child *advertiser censored* charges. Per the 20/20 special, neighbors at the mother's home in Callahan reported LE doing survellience back in January. His bio father reported being asked for a DNA swab weeks before the arrest on the child *advertiser censored*. I'm sure there is much more that we don't know of yet, but I am confident that he was a suspect prior to the child *advertiser censored* arrest.
And I'm confused by your last statement that enough has been said and done to prejudice his case already....you make this statement while also criticizing LE for not releasing more information in several posts....I agree that not everything makes sense in this case yet, but I have also understood from day one the reasons why information was withheld. This is JMO, but I don't believe we as the public have any right to all the horrific details of Somer's death.

IMO it would be crazy if LE gave us all that info until they HAVE to. What good would that do for Somer's case?
It will all come out through discovery and at the trial.
They are confident they have the right guy. They are confident enough to send this case to trial.
I would never describe CCSO as sloppy. We don't know what all they did and how they did it. And, we are not experts in investigating.
We don't know what all they have on this guy. And IMO them holding info close to the chest made JH feel comfy enough to relax and make mistakes. He thought he got away with it. He was moving on with his life. Then...bam...here come the charges.
I applaud CCSO. Job well done sirs!
As for JH, may he rot!
Chickenpants, I'm not clear on the topic of this thread. Could you please clarify it for me?
Thanks,
