Diena Complains about Somer’s Lock of Hair
Diena Thompson is just amazing. Her behavior never ceases to amaze me, and it doesn’t matter which video you give me of her, something is just strangely off in my eyes.
The reporter says, “What is justice for Somer?”
Diena says almost ready to break out in a laugh, “Finding who did this to her, and them being put to death. That’s what I want for them.” Look at her shoulder shrugs as she says this. I would expect a definitive response without any doubt, but her shoulders are suggesting she is doubtful about this. Why on earth does this woman feel so good about this? The police haven’t even named a suspect! How come she feels so positive? Is this duper’s delight on a scale we haven’t seen before?
Read moreThe reporter says that Diena believes the killer is local and that he probably talked to Somer at least once before the killing to gain Somer’s trust. Isn’t that fascinating? That’s a change in her core belief . Diena originally told us us that Somer trusted everyone. In November, on MSNBC, Diena said, “She just loved everyone. She was very trusting. She just trusted everyone and she just assumed that they wouldn’t hurt her (source).” How come Diena’s core belief changed?
Three things about this statement stand out to me. She is now describing Somer’s core personality different as mentioned above. Number two, if she believes the killer is local, doesn’t she fear she is taunting him by saying he deserves the death penalty? Doesn’t she fear that he might kill her and go after her or her remaining children?
Why isn’t Diena living in fear? Is she demanding protection from law enforcement? Is she still living in the same house? Why does this woman feel no fear?? It defies logic. Third, when she talks about the killer looking her in her eyes, there is a vacancy that I see in her eyes that I can’t explain, but stands out to me. There is no tension, perhaps, no real vision in her mind’s eye of the actual scenario she talks about, which we would expect to see, if she truly had conviction for what she is saying.
Watch Diena’s response when she says she feels the police are getting close to a suspect. It’s strange. I’ve never seen another victim act like she does. She has hope when she should have none. The police won’t even clue her into the investigation and she just “feels it” that they are close to solving this? In my eyes, it’s insane.
Diena says, “I’ve met some incredible people through all of this, and they will call me with bible verses, and I’ll read them and just be…completely…(shoulder shrug)…in awe.” When Diena says this, she is giving away indications that she is thinking as she speaks, not talking from the heart. When she shrugs her shoulders above, I suspect she doesn’t know what to say after “completely”. Then she comes up with the rest of her babble. She continues, “…that…it’s almost like…it was written…for me (another shoulder shrug).” The pauses are notable here. I don’t believe a word she is saying, frankly.
Notice her attorney isn’t present? Has he suggest to Diena to stay out of the spotlight, but Diena refuses to listen?
Listen to her complain about the lock of Somer’s hair! I about fell off my chair!!! Diena smiles as she talks about what should be one of the most painful things in her life. There isn’t a tear, an ounce of any sad emotion whatsoever when Diena says, “Well…the lock of hair …wasn’t what I was expecting. It’s…not that much, and…it looks dirty to me (smirking).” Notice the…hesitation…in…her…speech…as…she…talks…about…this. It’s strange and notable. It is highly indicative she is just thinking as she talks, instead of speaking from the heart.
More than that, most mothers who have lost a child take everything they left from their child and idolize it. To most mothers, a lock of hair would be more precious than gold, even if it was dirty. They usually can’t part with anything and often revere every little thing and treat it as if it were as precious as the child was. I’ve never seen a mother in mourning complain something wasn’t good enough or right that is a part of their child. It defies logic. How many mothers whose children were killed have you seen leave their child’s room exactly as it was for years, if not decades? Yet FirstCoastNews.com reported, “The grief has been so intense she [Diena] wanted to get rid of Somer’s things, but she was advised not to, so she packed them away for now.”
Diena Thompson completely defies everything that I know is normal. I think she either knows boatloads more about this case than she is telling us, or perhaps she has a mental illness? Her behaviors are off the charts, like nothing I have ever seen before…
Thanks, Kat2, fort the links and suggestion.
