As the investigation intensifies in the murder of Florida 7-year-old Somer Thompson, her mother Diena Thompson, speaks out about the tragedy. ...
I said it from the start, she had nothing to do with the disappearance of her daughter. Many people have said she was fake crying in some of the earlier interviews, I said 'NO' they were real tears ( I felt they were real because the timing of wiping was random and not during lulls in the conversation/interview which is often the case when faked).
We do not have much information and the police are releasing less than usual for such a high profile crime.
Here is what we know: Mother was at work at the time. The kids she normally walks home with lost sight of her 1-2 blocks from the school. She had to have cut through at least one backyard to get to their home, based on when she was last seen. There are 60+ registered sex offenders in a 3-5 mile area from where she was last seen. Victimology would suggest two things: random act of opportunity presented itself to a predator; or parent of the child she got into a physical fight with at school that day should be interviewed (not likely but parents do strange things to protect and help their own children, I'm sure the police did conduct an interview). It was not premeditated. It was not an accident where someone was covering up the accidental death up with abduction scheme. The reason she was found in the dump was, she was placed in a dumpster in Orange City and delivered to dump via regular trash pick up.
I will state again, to be very clear, the mother had nothing to do with it. The only hot spot from this interview is how she refers to the person(s) who did this terrible crime, at one point it is "thing" at another "they" lured her in a car, and lastly she states her daughter realized "he" was a danger. This could easily be explained, "a thing" is depersonalising the unsub, the reference to "they" could be from initial reports concerning two people attempting to speak with a random child sometime before her daughters disappearance (I believe the day or week before).
She still appears to be experiencing normal emotions as someone who lost her daughter who is getting a great deal of support from her community.◦

I completely agree. People who think Diena Thompson is lying about her daughter's disappearance are terribly and utterly wrong, IMO.
I do think it's a little strange that the police have not told Diena the cause of Somer's death. I don't know whether that is normal in such a case, but it seems unusual to me. Maybe they want to completely rule out anyone in Diena's circle of friends before telling her the cause.
But I strongly believe Diena is telling the truth.
