Indicates updated material from the last posting of this. If you notice a broken link, let me know. I'll try to find a new source while still indicating where I found the original material.


2008
May-November: Estimated Date. LE believes that on or between these dates, Jarred Harrell is guilty of committing the offense Lewd & Lascivious Molestation, Use of a Child in a Sexual Performance, and Promoting a Sexual Performance. Source

August:
Just after Rod Buchanan's stepson turned 17, stepson sees *advertiser censored* on Jarred's computer (see video, 5:46 mark). This was at GLD II's house on Gano. Source Buchanan said his own stepson was playing on Harrell's computer last year and found some pornographic pictures. He told the adults in the family, but it was "kinda brushed under the rug," and no one reported it, Buchanan said. Source

August-November: Estimated Date. LE believes that on or between these dates, Jarred Harrell is guilty of committing the offense Lewd & Lascivious Molestation of a Child Under 12 and Producing/Performing Sexual Performance of a Child (12 counts). Source (page 8) Later reports showed that he lived at house on Gano, and victim's mother identified the room her daughter was in as Jarred Harrell's room at 11xx Gano. Source

2009
June: Estimated Date. Jarred Harrell is asked to move out of his parents' house. They want him to be on his own, be a man, and take care of himself. They call Rod Buchanan's stepdaughter and ask if he can move in with them and be a roommate; they say sure. Jarred moves in with Buchanan's stepdaughter and her fiancé. (Explanation is that Buchanan states, in response to how long did JH live with your stepdaughter, and says a couple of months, so JustyThoughts estimated at June 2009). Source Later that year, Harrell moved in with Buchanan's stepdaughter and her fiancé at an apartment a few miles away. Source

August 4: Roommates kick Jarred Harrell out for stealing, specifically their iPod. Source According to Rod Buchanan, he asks if they can keep his computer until he finds somewhere to go. Source (Note: Any idea where he went? Back to mom? Sister's? Thoughts, anyone?)

August 10: They do not hear from him, and the discussion comes up about there having been child *advertiser censored* found on his computer about a year ago by Rod Buchanan's stepson (a minor at the time). They get on the computer and find *advertiser censored* on computer. Source Roommates bring computer to Jacksonville Sheriffs Office, who determined it was out of their jurisdiction. Source JSO turns it over to CCSO, and Fred Eckert takes over. Source Rod Buchanan: And we took it to JSO (Jacksonville Sheriffs Office) thinking that was where we needed to take it. Once we handed everything over to JSO, they then sent it back to Clay County to be processed, and Detective Eckert took over from there.

August 13: Computer then turned over to CCSO by JSO. Source

September 25: Computer turned over to SAG Cyber Crimes Unit. They were not able to begin taking it apart to do forensic testing on it until October 9. Source

October 5: Estimated Date Jarred Harrell's mom (AD) and stepdad (GLD II) move out of their house on Gano, to Callahan, FL. Source (link broken) Buchanan said he was shocked to learn that Harrell's parents had moved out two weeks before Somer Thompson was reported missing, but Harrell still lived at the home. Source It is believed they took the dog and the shed with them. No Source Yet.

Source

November 12: Analysis completed November 10; SAG returns computer to CCSO with report. Source

Unknown Date: Jarred Harrell is asked to provide DNA. He is uncooperative, and in January, FBI visits his father Howard Harrell, in Mississippi. Source

December 1: Estimated date. Jarred moves out house at 1152. Source (~page 5 of comments) sheeshisamoron wrote: noexistanz, Harell moved into the house on gano ave in august and he moved out december 1 of 09. I saw the fat *advertiser censored** move out that day because it was the same day i moved out of the neighborhood. I can only assume he moved to mississippi at that time.

Thanks. I missed that part. Must be updated.

No, it wasn't in the same article you posted. I posted the link for what I think is the one you read it in and found another article.

I realized that the number of witnesses wasn't a "timeline" topic but posted it there anyway.

This is a great link http://interceder.net/ to search for stories on any case.
