Somer Thompson Case on 20/20 Tonight

LINK TO 20/20

There is also an interesting article, worth reading, at Jacksonville.com about Jared Harrell. A reporter reviewed newly released records in the case and found some interesting things. From the article:

The records show detectives first interviewed Harrell on Oct. 30 in Somer’s case. He allowed them to search the home and property, but they spotted nothing suspicious.

…Harrell’s mother, Annis Dailey, told police she was with him, apparently at the home, between 3:30 and 4:30 p.m., the records show. She said they left together, gassed up their vehicles, had dinner at a McDonald’s and split up about 5:30 p.m.

The article states that Somer was last seen at approximately 2:45 so that could leave a 45 minute window still, if the time is accurate. I wonder if police questioned Harrell on October 30, and documented that he was with his mother at that time?

One of the most interesting aspects of the newly released records are that Harrell suspects he may have been setup by his roommates on pornography after he was accused of theft. Records indicate, according to this article, that the roommate was interviewed and given a polygraph and his responses were “inexplicably deceptive”. That’s interesting.

While these are nothing conclusive, I am a firm believer than remaining open-minded until all the facts of this case come out is very important, if you want to find the truth. Once the truth reveals itself, the pieces of the puzzle should fit together and make sense.

Thanks to “CW” for sending me the article.
