All great questions! If I understand the timeline correctly, he was last seen by a NON-family member (he was at a friend's house) on Thursday 12/19 at about 7 pm. Last seen by family the morning of Friday 12/20 at about 7 am leaving for school. Possibly captured on surveillance that morning walking to school but this hasn't been confirmed. No other known sightings or communication from him since. Was reported missing by family on Saturday at about 11:30 pm. Does anyone know when his last social media activity was?
We have been told that Harley left the house that morning without his cell phone because it had recently broken. I thought I read somewhere that he had an iPad or Chromebook or something of that sort that was issued to him by the school? I'm sure LE has accounted for that and checked it. I'm trying to imagine where he would go if he wasn't able to stay home and didn't want to go to school, I imagine he might try to gain access to his social media somehow. Was there a public area near his home where he might have tried to do this? A library maybe? I'm sure family has accounted for all devices that were in the home in case he snuck one out of the house with him, or at least I hope they have. I'm sure LE have already looked into all this. And I'm babbling lol I just wish we could help more somehow.
One of the things I'm struggling to understand is the delay in reporting him missing.
LE indicated HD has stayed away overnight before, but didn't his parents know where he was on those occasions?
Did or didn't his parents call the friends he had stayed with previously to make sure he was at least safely accounted for that Friday night?
If they didn't make any attempt to determine his whereabouts whatsoever that Friday, that ain't good.
If they did try to track him down, they would have been unsuccessful, which presumably would have set off warning bells for his parents....right?
What parents wouldn't contact the police right away, in those circumstances, i.e., child never showed up home from school and he isn't at the home of any friends/relatives?
The delay in reporting him missing is baffling.
The more I think about it, the uneasier I become.
Mainly because I can't imagine parents not at least phoning around to determine the whereabouts of their 14-year-old who never returned home from school.
I really do hope LE has definitively confirmed the footage on Friday morning is him.
That image appears to be incredibly grainy.
