Orange Park, Oct 22 (THAINDIAN NEWS) The body of Somer Renee Thompson has been found. An amber alert was issued for her sometime back. The body was found in a landfill. She was missing since Monday. She went missing after she was returning from school.

Sheriff Rick Beseler said on national network morning news shows Thursday that the identification was based on clothing on the body and a birthmark that matched the girl’s.

The child’s body was partially covered. It was found in a Georgia landfill near the Florida state line, after investigators trailed garbage trucks leaving from the neighborhood where the child disappeared on her way home from school.

It may be recalled that, she was last seen at about 3 in the afternoon when she was returning from her school Grove Park Elementary. She was walking along side her sister and some friends but ran ahead of them and since then there is no trace of her.

Somer Thompson used to study in the 2nd grade in Grove Park Elementary School. The motive behind her kidnapping and subsequent murder is yet to be ascertained. No one has been arrested or placed under suspicion so far. More details on the case are awaited.
