Clay County Sheriff’s investigators and the FBI have been notified regarding the arrest of a man in Dougherty County, Georgia.
Dougherty District Attorney Greg Edwards said there is no direct evidence linking the man to Somer’s murder, however, he has forwarded information to Florida authorities regarding the arrest of Kenneth Kellam.
Kellam was arrested on Tuesday after following two elementary boys home from school, according to the Albany Herald.
Somer, 7, disappeared on her way home from school on Oct. 19 and her body was found only days later in a Georgia landfill.

Edwards said “It’s geographically feasible that he could have a connection to that case, and his M.O. is similar. So we have passed the information along to the proper authorities in Florida and the FBI has taken an interest.”
Edwards said although there is no actual evidence connecting Kellam to the case, his Georgia authorities have notified Florida law enforcement out of due diligence. “We’ve been told they’ve received more than 1,500 tips in that case and this may just be another one, but we have the obligation to report it,” said Edwards.
The Albany Herald reports that Kellam was denied bond on Thursday and was ordered to remain in jail.
Kellam is a registered sex offender and was released from the Florida prison system in 2008.
