Jarred Harrell, the man police say was a person of interest in the murder of 7 year-old Somer Thompson has now been charged with her murder.
Police made the announcement moments ago from Orange Park, Florida.Initially, Harrel was charged with 12 counts of production of child pornography and molestation of a child who is under 12 years old.
Police say witness statements, "admissions" from the suspect himself and DNA evidence led them to add murder to the charges Harrel has already been hit with.
In October, seven-year-old Thompson disappeared as she walked home from school in Orange Park. Authorities found her body days later in a Georgia landfill days later.
Police now believe, harrel approached Thompson as she walked past his home on her way from school.
He is being held under a no-bond order and remains in jail in Florida.
