they are replaying presser live now ((if you want to hear the "governor's good news" about crime being down eight per cent in florida again))

 

[trigger]

Please tell me they are not going to let or make her mother attempt an ID on scene.

She may want to see this now, but she has the rest of her life to remember that moment. I hope they do what they can to clean the body up before making an ID, if visual is possible.

Never heard of such a thing.

raying: for Somer, her family and friends.

This is a good question . She disappeared quickly I wonder where dumpster's are located in that neighborhood and when they pick up trash...

Oh this is just terrible...

This happened in MT to an adult who got in the garbage can to get out of the cold. But it was an industrial size one ... isn't this mostly (or all?) residential? I don't know whether a child could climb into one ...

Praying for Somer's family and friends. May they find peace in all this madness and strength to face the coming days.

Just curious about others opinions. They say the child was found partially covered. Wouldn't it make sense that, in a landfill, a body would be covered? What are the chances what you're looking for would be lying on top? Or do they mean she was covered with something else? And if so... what's an example of what they could mean? I am confused.

I feel like there must have been a tip. Maybe ( I hope) they already have a person in custody. I've been following the missing child cases for a while ( along with many of you). I don't rememebr landfill searches withing the first 72 hours in any other cases. Anyone else?

I hope they catch the perp soon~

Praying for everyone who knew and loved her, especially her Mom.

Do you think maybe one of the kids actually saw something and was afraid to say? Wouldn't a perp keep their mouth shut until a body was actually found? And if a garbage collecter saw a body, they'd stop it from ending up in the landfill?

I think they meant covered with trash. They only mentioned it as an explanation for why they couldn't confirm gender or hair color, that type of thing. IMO.

i just took it to mean that she was covered with trash except for her legs...

To me it sounds like the child's body was partially covered with something. Maybe a blanket, or tarp etc.

MOO

Never heard of such a thing.

About showing the Mom the body so that it can be identified....
Maybe a digital photo, walk the camera/photo down to another area where the mom waits and show her the photo.

I can't imagine taking the mom to the exact area and showing her the face of her child partially covered by garbage.
That would be a sin, a real sin. IMO

Maybe they cannot move her until the ME arrives? I am guessing the little angel is covered with garbage and they want to process the scene before doing much more.


How incredibly sad. I cannot even fathom how they are feeling. Even if it is NOT Somer, the hopes & life of a family is about to change forever.

I really don't think so at all. I really believe this was the work of a pedophile - just like Tuba's chart. Probably abused and killed her in the area - dumped her body in a dumpster like a piece of trash and left the area. I'm just sick.

It is just the worst outcome, so terribly sad and senseless.

On HLN the comment was just made 'first Haleigh is taken out of her bed and now this'. There is a difference tho. The quickness and way the body was left - not even wrapped - goes to a stranger abduction. It is how pedo's usually dispose of bodies. Haleigh's goes to a familial/friend abduction IMO, as that is how these usually turn out. Hiding the body to where it will be very difficult to find as evidence will point right back to them and they are the first to be looked at. IMO
