Thank you. I enjoy Websleuths for the chance to ask questions and learn from members that have researched other cases. I was worried my question had unintentionally came across as rude. I did notice after my original question that there were some posts about some questionable t-shirt sales so my...

I wasn't trying to criticize anything and apologize if I wasn't clear. My question was if anyone had ever ran across a similar scenario before. Personally I am also glad to see something positive come from a tragedy. It just seemed unusual to me.

So just a question and in no way do I mean any disrespect to Harley or LE that was involved in this case. While I do believe his death was from misadventure (even though the details seem very confusing and there has not been much transparency regarding the case) and I am glad that something...

Excellent job on this. I am sure this helps clarify things about chimneys. You put the exact illustrations that I pictured once I looked at my own chimney as a reference.

Police report gives new details on Harley Dilly's disappearance "The third boy that Harley was with Thursday night said that he saw Harley Friday after school, the police report states. Port Clinton Police Chief Robert Hickman later explained during a news conference that the friend later...

Hoping LE releases info for all the questions of the chimney and the last time HD was seen. I still at this point am believing misadventure but there are just so many questions that could change my thinking.

I had wondered that too but assumed later that people with fireplaces probably know they don't stay wide open all the way to the top. I don't have a fireplace and I never knew myself until I was "this years old" and read about this stuff here. Websleuths encourages me to learn new things!

That was actually my original point about the jacket being hung up. However I don't really know the specifics of investigations.

Understandable as I don't claim to be an expert but I guess I personally wished they had just covered the window and can't even explain why I feel that way. I guess because of all the media presence.

I am still of the opinion that this was a death by misadventure. So many people (myself also at first), cannot let go of the assumption there was or once had been fireplace(s) in the house. Well I have been in a lot of houses that have a chimney and never had a fireplace. The only use for these...

For reference, a typical dinner plate is usually a 10" diameter.

Wow, the protesters were hard to watch. They are entitled to their opinions but there are certainty more appropriate ways to demonstrate them. Again, not expressing my feelings on the case, one way or another on what may have happened. I just speculate on how the family will be able to go on...

Not defending or blaming the mom. Just MOO of why everyone is so critical of her. This loss has touched a lot of people and everyone wants to know why this happened. People are saddened and angry. I think she just doesn't know any better for whatever reason when she says or writes things and...

Port Clinton homeowner speaks about layout of chimney where body of Harley Dilly was discovered I do believe this was a tragic accident. That said I still always wonder the thought process that led HD to enter the chimney. From the article above, the homeowner said the baseboard heat was on...

I usually am a lurker but admit that I was so confused about the items being outside the chimney. Here I was assuming due to the age of the home and the chimney located in the center of the house that there were fireplaces on the 2nd and 1st floors. After reading prior posts that the owners...

I haven't checked back on this thread for a very long time. The purse thing just always bothered me. If it was about drugs, (which I honestly never was trying to guess the motive, just the sequence of events of the abduction.) I can't see money getting left behind. I just wish that whatever...

Candlegirl, I also just spent the last couple of days reading this thread and also had hoped that something had been resolved. Such a sad story.

After reviewing the placement of the girls cars in the driveway and the floorplan of the home on Delmar. My opinion is that the girls went through the front door because of where they parked. Since the headlights and sounds from the vehicles had to be right outside Sherrill's window, I honestly...

I was afraid I had missed something pertinent when I posted it. When I had got to reading the second thread where it stated Barrt had unrelated kidnapping charges, it made me think of that angle. I do believe that the victims let someone in the house that they trusted in the house but not...

maybe it wasn't her brother, but someone else that was trusted to be let into the house. But not someone you trusted to be in a room with a purse full of cash. Maybe those moved shoes was Bartt looking in a closet where Sherrill used to keep her purse when he lived with her. Maybe the...
