Trail leading to arrest of woman in Jacksonville murder went through Tampa Bay
Nestled among socks, papers and leopard-print heels, a dead man's cellphone was sending out a signal that led investigators to a Palm Harbor apartment last week.
Using the phone and other items discovered there, authorities arrested a 24-year-old woman Thursday in the brutal killing of Daniel Somerson, whose body was discovered wrapped in a bloody rug inside his St. Johns County home.
Latoya Korren Jordan, who met Somerson through Craigslist, was found Thursday near Panama City at the home of another man she met through the website. She faces first-degree murder charges.
Somerson and the other man are among many Jordan met on Craigslist as she moved around Florida, including the Tampa Bay area, authorities said.
Somerson picked up Jordan in the St. Petersburg area in late May and took her back to his home in Fruit Cove near Jacksonville, where they lived together, investigators said.
Their relationship is believed to have been platonic, said Sgt. Chuck Mulligan of the St. Johns Sheriff's Office. "She was contacting multiple people for room and board from what it appears," Mulligan said. "But something went very wrong here."
Deputies went to Somerson's home after neighbors reported they had not seen him for many days. They found his bloodied body rolled up in a carpet inside his home July 8.
The body, which had multiple stab wounds, appeared to have been there for some time, deputies said. It was so decomposed that the medical examiner used dental records to identify it as Somerson.
Jordan, known to many of her Craigslist encounters as "Tonya," continued living in Somerson's house for several days after he was killed while she sought another place to live, deputies said. She eventually found another man on Craigslist who picked her up and drove her to the Tampa area, officials said.
From there, deputies said, Jordan bounced from place to place, staying with several people around Tampa Bay, including Richard Bradley, 63, of Palm Harbor.

Woefully out of date now, here’s a quick run down on the OSGIS 2011 conference , 3rd in that series, held at the University of Nottingham Centre for Geospatial Sciences in Nottingham over the 21st and 22nd of June.
The 21st was a day of workshops, under the banner of Interoperability and the OGC. My new colleague, Matt, and I did a workshop on using Ordnance Survey Open Data and Mastermap with Mapserver and PostgreSQL, using the OSGeo Live DVD. You can see a slightly edited version of the workshop below, or on slideshare . I have to admit that most of the kudos must go to Matt for creating some super scripts to make the initial data processing *much* easier, and to some of my other colleagues for their efforts in styling the data once it’s in Mapserver. The scripts and a small subset of the open data are available here - you’ll have to supply your own Mastermap!
Day Two was all about the talks - and I was impressed by the standard. The focus of OSGIS has always leant slightly towards the academic, so the stand-out talks for me were the ones that demonstrated that you can do real spatial analysis with open source GIS. There were also some very good papers on mapping in the developing world. Two of my ex-colleagues from Oxford Archaeology also did a joint paper showing how the use of open source software has progressed there- that was really good to see- it was nice to know that the baton had been passed on when I left! I gave people an introduction to the OSGeo:UK local chapter, which is also available on Slideshare here , and we had the chapter AGM. It’s extremely gratifying to see the numbers of people willing to hear about, and get involved with, the local chapter. I was going back through the reports I’d given in previous years, and the numbers of people signed up to our mailing list steadily creep up, year on year- we’re now well over the 100 people mark! (BTW, if you’re interested, our website is here ).
