From MSM reports, we know that arguments in the household were frequent and that XH often took refuge with neighbors where he would spend the night.

We also know that JL was in custody the night following XH's disappearance -- arrested on an unrelated warrant, and previously questioned about XH disappearance. By all accounts, both SH and XH were fond of JL and why SH sent neighbor SR to JL's trailer to inquire if he'd seen/heard from XH on the day he disappeared. Whether or not recovering XH's body will change anything related to JL remains to be seen.

In court filings, the Freses noted that the 50-year-old man had come under scrutiny in the investigation into the disappearance of an 11-year-old boy, Xavior Harrelson.

Xavior vanished from his trailer park in Montezuma on May 28, during closing arguments of the Bahena Rivera trial.

The defense noted the 50-year-old man is the former live-in boyfriend of Xavior's mother and that the two maintained a friendly relationship. Investigators searching for Xavior began looking for the man almost immediately and arrested him on an unrelated outstanding warrant in another county the day after the boy was reported missing. He has not been charged with any crimes related to the disappearance.

Sorry that I haven't kept on on all of the details in this case, but where was JL's trailer? How close was it to the Harrelson trailor?

SH vehicle was not working on May 27 -- trailer was far enough that she couldn't get there without transportation but not far per SR testimony at CR hearing. JL was also not answering his phone so SR stated she left a not on his door. MOO
 
Does anyone have a theory they’d like to share within TOS? Or PM me if you’re not comfortable sharing with the class.

I just feel like this whole situation was so odd. The last seen riding his bike, then finding out both bikes were at home, then the fight at home the day before the moms friend reported him missing. Only to be found dead 4 miles from home.
 
It would be fairly uncommon for an 11 year old boy not to have some level of dental records and X-rays, even if only for cleanings.
Right. Especially when he was in state custody for a couple of years. The state had oversight of the community homes I used to run and we were required to have a whole slew of doctor appointments annually. Dental had to be done every 3 or 6 months (as recommended by the dentist). I would be very surprised if he has never been to a dentist.

Based on info known thus far, nobody actually saw XH leave home or the trailer park on 5/27 including his mom SH. It's reported that SH "heard" XH leave on 5/27 when she was in the restroom and stated she heard decorative bells on the front door chime.

I believe it's more likely that XH left the property via a vehicle sometime late 5/26 after the argument or early 5/27.

I don't believe that XH walked 4 miles due to a physical condition which SH stated was heredity.

Relative to mom's former boyfriend JL, he's never been named a POI -- even after he was in custody. I believe JL is still in custody and really don't know if he could have harmed XH.

I don't believe 10-11 yr old boys living in Montezuma or Poweshiek County are unsafe and should be in fear.

I'm more apt to believe somebody harmed XH to hurt his mother or to send a message.

MOO

I agree with most of what @Seattle1 said. Xavior would definitely have not walked far because of his physical condition; if he planned to go anywhere at a distance on his own he would have taken one of his bikes. IMO he wasn't grabbed off of the street by a stranger, and probably left in a car with someone he knew. Even though the neighbors heard a heated argument the night of 5/26 between X and his mother, I don't believe that she had anything directly to do with his disappearance. I believe that it is much more likely that someone wanted to hurt his mother. I don't know if JL is involved, but in my opinion, it is not a coincidence that he was arrested on an unrelated charge the day after X went missing, and I feel that LE is definitely taking a close look at him. The last the neighbors saw / heard X was 5/26, but in a YouTube interview on 07/12, his mother said that she saw him on the morning of 5/27. The following is the automatic YT transcript of that portion of the interview. These auto transcripts aren't exact, but we can get the gist of it. WS approved the interview for viewing, and the link was first posted to the thread in July.

04:35
do you want to start with that day you
04:37
know what was going on that day
04:40
uh
04:44
we first got up uh he was asking for my
04:47
phone i thought no
04:48
one did for youtube i told when he did
04:50
to charge it so he plugged it in
04:53
took off and that went in went to the
04:55
bathroom came
04:56
out asked if he wanted pancakes or
04:59
anything he said no and i'm like why aren't
05:01
you hungry you're always hungry
05:03
and i forgot the night before he had had
05:05
two baloney sandwiches a pack of ramen
05:07
noodles and a crab bag and a half the
05:09
chips
05:12
so that's probably why he's not hungry i
05:14
was like
05:16
so he got on his switch because it's
05:19
summer and the summer rule is
05:21
we don't want more 9 30 in the morning
05:23
because we're very clouded
05:25
people work their shift for sure right
05:28
so
05:29
he was playing on that and i was doing
05:31
laundry and
05:33
uh time goes on and i was went to the
05:36
bathroom
05:36
so it was 10 38 the only reason i
05:38
noticed the phone was sitting on
05:40
the walker in front of me and i had a
05:42
big christmas bell
05:43
on the front door that way i could tell
05:45
when the door was being opened and shut
05:47
because you can't hear very well and i
05:50
certainly you know so uh i heard the
05:54
bell and i'm like bubba and he didn't
05:55
answer me
05:56
i was like could at least told me he
06:00
always tells me where he's going first
06:01
of what he's doing you know before he
06:02
goes
06:03
you know he uh
06:07
i finished going bathroom got up and
06:10
you threw the hallway you got a worse
06:12
and drier right there so i could have
06:14
switched the loads around
06:15
without sports and yelled for him and it
06:18
was
06:18
almost 11 or it was right after 11.
06:21
and the neighbor scott had said uh he
06:24
hadn't seen him yet
06:26
because i'd yelled he goes i haven't
06:28
seen him i was like well he just came
06:30
out
06:31
and said well maybe he's in you know the
06:33
neighbors playing minecraft
06:35
right now and someone went back in i was
06:37
like he'll be back soon
06:39
you know he'll be hungry for long time
06:41
you know
06:42
sure yeah and so lunch comes and
06:46
i was like okay i want to clock i'm like
06:48
where the heck is this child at
06:50
and i went back outside again and in
06:53
between i
06:54
yelled for his name a couple of
06:55
different times but
06:57
at that time i had heard zoe and i
06:59
yelled for her and she came back around
07:01
from her trailer
07:02
to the front or from her front to the
07:04
back in between our
07:06
and i had asked her if xavier was
07:07
playing minecraft over there she said no
07:10
that he hadn't been with her all morning
07:13
and i said
07:14
you haven't seen him all morning she
07:16
said no i said okay
07:19
and uh
07:23
you kind of invented something was a
07:25
little starting to get a little weird
07:27
yeah and i tried getting a hold of my
07:31
roommate or ex-roommate and she wasn't
07:33
answering
07:34
i got hold of her son i said his xavier
07:36
with them and
07:37
he's like no i've got my sister you know
07:39
they went to des moines
07:42
i said okay i said all right and i hung
07:45
up
07:46
with her him and i had called sam
07:49
and asked her you know i i don't know
07:52
where he is
07:53
the only places that i could think he'd
07:54
be would be these places
07:57
and i said i would start with the parks
08:00
the school parks the city park
08:01
and then you know so it's also and so
08:03
it's all closed
08:05
but he still wouldn't leave
08:08
and he knows i wouldn't let him go by
08:10
himself anyways you know
08:12
right but when there's a speed bump
08:15
right too that he normally never even
08:17
went past the second speed yeah the
08:19
second speed bump he don't go past
08:20
that's where the road tease
08:22
because it goes to the garbage can or
08:24
straight to 63. it's the only way in and
08:26
out of the trailer part
08:27
right and people fly through there and
08:29
they're don't pay attention to kids or
08:31
nothing
08:32
and um
08:35
so she started looking and
08:39
and he wasn't anywhere when she came
08:41
back i said
08:42
if he's not at the last trailer down by
08:45
the garbage
08:46
you know playing with you know over
08:48
there i said
08:49
you know then i'm gonna go ahead and
08:50
call the police and she said okay and
08:53
she took off and
08:55
next thing i know i see the sheriff
08:57
coming and she's walking
09:00
her her boyfriend or whatever
09:05
correct they walk straight yeah they
09:07
walked straight past the
09:08
sheriff's truck got in her car which is
09:11
still
09:12
parked in front of my trailer and they
09:14
left and
09:15
told him what was going on you know we
09:17
looked here here here she would never
09:19
leave
09:19
he would never run off it's not him
09:23
somebody had to have taken him and
09:26
[Music]
09:29
it's somebody had to take it in period
09:31
you know
09:33
and they're still looking at it as a run
09:36
or looking at it as a runaway and i was
09:38
like he would never he's scared of the
09:39
dark he gets pulled easy
09:42
uh we have it's called cmt charcoal
09:45
learning too that's a
09:46
muscle degeneration of the limbs and
09:48
it's hereditary
09:50
but he gets cold way too easy and he
09:52
certainly isn't going to go that long
09:53
without
09:55
eating and if he was running off he
09:57
would tip and it's going to tend to
09:58
switch you know
10:00
in his bicycles and food and yeah and a
10:04
bike
10:04
at least one of the bikes probably the
10:06
mountain bike because then he can shift
10:08
gears you don't have to pedal non-stop
10:09
like on the mongoose
10:11
it wasn't really elaborate with this
10:13
runaway huh
10:14
yeah and i was like and he wouldn't
10:16
leave without his walking stick either
10:18
because he's got a big walking stick
10:19
that when we went mushroom hunting and
10:21
stuff
10:21
and did our hikes with you know that way
10:24
he could keep his footing
10:25
we're not very good balance you know

 
I am so freakin confused by this new article in the DM.

HERE is what I know about the Mollie Tibbets murder trial:

Sorry that I haven't kept on on all of the details in this case, but where was JL's trailer? How close was it to the Harrelson trailor?[/QUOTE
BBM
In SR's testimony she said that JL's camper was at the "old Fun Valley Ski Resort just southwest of town." I found that the Fun Valley Ski Resort closed years ago, but was located at 1066 - 500th in Montezuma, and that is about 5 miles from the trailer park where X lived.

Just noticed something in the transcript I just posted of a portion of SH's interview about the day XH went missing. She told about how she had asked SR to check locations for X, including parks, and then asked SR to check the last trailer in the park and if X wasn't there she would call the police. In SR's testimony she said that SH asked her to check the parks and trailers and then to check one last place -- to drive out to JL's camper to see if X was there, before she called the police. SH neglected to mention that in her interview Of course she wasn't obligated to tell a YT interviewer as long as she told LE, but I still found it interesting.
 
I agree with most of what @Seattle1 said. Xavior would definitely have not walked far because of his physical condition; if he planned to go anywhere at a distance on his own he would have taken one of his bikes.

10:24
he could keep his footing
10:25

To my knowledge, SR is the only party that has spoken about this case and/or her actions under oath. I also think it's fair to note that when one delays speaking publicly for 6-8 weeks and then only talks to an unknown YT host, there's always the risk of credibility in one's statements. I trust more will be revealed in time.

Patiently waiting for positive identification and in support of the heavy-hearted. MOO :(
 
Thanks @Unalienable Rights rights for posting the transcript.
SH mentions that XH was asking for her phone and she says no...plug it in to charge. Shortly after SH indicates XH began playing on his switch. Could XH have been wanting to call someone to pick him up? When he couldn't use the phone, could he have contacted the same person through switch...not sure if it has a chat function?

Based on info known thus far, nobody actually saw XH leave home or the trailer park on 5/27 including his mom SH. It's reported that SH "heard" XH leave on 5/27 when she was in the restroom and stated she heard decorative bells on the front door chime.

I believe it's more likely that XH left the property via a vehicle sometime late 5/26 after the argument or early 5/27.

I don't believe that XH walked 4 miles due to a physical condition which SH stated was heredity.

Relative to mom's former boyfriend JL, he's never been named a POI -- even after he was in custody. I believe JL is still in custody and really don't know if he could have harmed XH.

I don't believe 10-11 yr old boys living in Montezuma or Poweshiek County are unsafe and should be in fear.

I'm more apt to believe somebody harmed XH to hurt his mother or to send a message.

MOO
I'd like to know.........
Did.Mom go.out that.evening?
Did.mom have.anyone over?
Why did someone else report him.missing ?
 
VINE shows JL's custody status in Linn Co jail is "Transferred"

VINELink

I think JL's transfer from Linn County took place some time ago -- haven't checked my older posts here.

VINELink further shows that JL is in Community Based Corrections (Eighth Judicial District) with the release on 6/28/2024. There's a discrepancy in his birthdate from 12/1/1970 to 12/4/1970 but the first, middle, and surname all match:

The first charge on 6/1 was when they caught him but let him go. The second one was opened on 8/14 but stemmed from the first charge. His cases are a bit of a mess; the last time I looked, he had at least two old ones that had pending court dates.

I went back to Mollie's thread and now recall that CR's defense alleged on 7/15/21 that JL was in federal custody on a gun charge.

When JL was first approached by LE on 5/29, JL fled on foot and it was his GF (passenger in the vehicle) that told arresting officers that they had a gun in the vehicle. JL was apprehended later on 5/29 and booked in Iowa County Jail. He was later transferred to Poweshiek Jail on 5/30 where he was also interviewed by the ATF on the weapons charge. As this would be a federal charge -- it explains why JL fell off the Iowa State Court & Custody roster.

7/14/21 - JL was ordered detained by the feds until trial.
8/4/21- JL was indicted by a federal grand jury on a single count of Possession of Unregistered Firearm ( modified or short 12 gauge shotgun).
8/6/21 - Jury Trial set for Oct 4, 2021 - Cedar Rapids.
8/25/21 - Change of Plea Hearing -- 10/4 trial date canceled.
8/25/21 - Report & Recommendation by Magistrate Roberts to accept a guilty plea to Count-1 of Indictment.
9/9/21 - Order accepting R&R signed by Judge Williams.

JL's federal sentencing hearing pursuant to the guilty plea is pending.

Per Vine -- it appears JL is being held in Jefferson County Jail (Fairfield, IA).
