Police in Florida are keeping quiet on what exactly killed 7-year-old Somer Thompson, who found dead in a Georgia landfill.
“We know the cause of death,” said a spokesperson with the Clay County Sheriff’s office. “We want to preserve the integrity of this investigation and are not releasing any information that in the long run would prevent us from prosecuting and convicting the person who did this to Somer [Thompson].”
Somer, who disappeared while walking the mile home from school on October 19th, was discovered dead days later.
The body was found late Wednesday, and local authorities confirmed it was the missing girl the following day.
Police tracked garbage trucks that took trash from the neighborhood in which she lived in Orange Park, to the landfill in Folkston, Georgia, according to authorities.
Angry that her sister told her to stop arguing with a playmate, Somer ran ahead of the group and was never seen again. Her disappearance triggered a countywide search involving helicopters, dogs and volunteers walking arm-to-arm through wooded areas.
Before the grim discovery, Somer’s father, Sam Thompson, of Graham, N.C., pleaded for her safe return.
“Somer, your daddy Sam loves you unconditionally. Stay strong and don’t give up the fight or the hope that we’re going to be a family again. I love you,” he said.
Police have questioned more than 70 registered sex offenders in the area. Florida Department of Law Enforcement records show 161 offenders live in a 5-mile radius of Somer’s home.
