I did see a flyer hanging up in a restaurant in Maumee OH over the weekend.I hope the billboards help.
Praying today is a miracle.
It was 18 degrees with snow on the ground when he left his home and he was last seen wearing a thin sweater, sweatpants and a thin "puffy" coat, police said.
All of which "leads us to believe he wasn’t planning on being outside for an extended amount of time," Timmons said. "He was going to meet with somebody, somebody we haven’t identified yet."
The 14-year-old also has a "big social media presence" with accounts on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and Reddit. There has been no activity on those accounts since his disappearance.
Surveillance shows last known image of missing Ohio 14-year-old Harley Dilly: Police
I hope LE checked into that whole Reddit thread but I’m going to be honest. I don’t think a child predator using Discord/Reddit is going to out themselves in a chat that is still visible. They’re far more sneaky then that.
This kind of talk is *really* common among teens on these apps. They talk trash to each other 100x worse than this.
MOO re the dark web: Could be. Maybe drip is known to HD from the dark web also. And that is why HD questions, "How did you find me here?" Also, I get teenage trash-talking. But HD calling someone out as a stalker and saying he came to his house is concerning & doesn't seem like trash-talking.
Already reported. Sorry. Regardless joke or not...who jokes about a child missing. Rather be safe than sorry.
Teens joke about everything. I have one and I hear it all the time.
At this point, I think one of two things happened. Either Harley was a victim of a predator, or, and imo, this us more likely, he had time to wander around before school started and he fell victim to a water accident and hasn't been discovered.
Lake Michigan gives up its winter victims in the spring. IDK about Lake Erie, but it's possible Harley is in the water under ice and hidden. LE asked for video so late it's possible his being recorded near the lake was missed.
As for his parents, I am tired of the bashing. They may be more on the free range side than helicopter, but they deserve our compassion. Not sitting here pointing fingers.
I thought they where having people from Cleveland check the waters to see if he was out there.there is no ice to warm.come on guys this case is going on to long and no leads doesn’t make any since.time for the town to start searching by not doing anything isn’t solving this case.

That is absurd.
He could have been dressed that way because he's acclimated to that weather.
He could have been dressed that way because he intended to go to school.
He could have been dressed that way because he didn't intend to be alive long.
He could have been dressed that way because he was going to a friends house.
He could have been dressed totally differently since he wasn't actually SEEN and the video isn't clear enough to really tell.
I agree he has a large PRESENCE on social media.
He does not have a large FOLLOWING.
The two are different.
You can be watched by people who aren't officially following you on many of these sites. So his number of followers and the names of them wouldn't be an exact count or list.
I don't want Harley taken away. I want Harley to know that if that's what HARLEY wants that it's an option for him. Right now the only option being presented is going home. If Harley ran away like they say, don't you think there is a REASON? If he ran away from HOME why would you continually say you will return him HOME? Why not say that you will sit down and figure it out? Do whatever is best for him?
Yes. This is another good point. Just because Harley doesn't want to leave doesn't mean it's a healthy or safe environment. Yet, Harley is gone... so maybe he DID leave? Maybe it's still a better environment than foster care. We don't know. We just want Harley to have options.
Yes. This is all we are asking. Just OFFER Harley other options. We don't have to blame the parents or claim they are abusive. However, nobody but Harley knows what happened. If he left, only Harley knows why. If Harley doesn't want to return to the home, then continuing to assure him he will be returned to the home is not helping matters.
Then again claiming he ran away, but had this rigid routine makes no sense either. If his routine was so rigid the alarm should have been raised before it got dark that first day. None of it adds up at all.
Barring any camera anomaly I question the surveillance video image. The person in the image appears to be lanky and not someone who is 4' - 9" and 100 pounds. The image also shows a person with a pompadour hairstyle.
I’m unconvinced it’s him. Police still haven’t stated definitively that it is. “Believed to be” - Why didn’t it capture his coming & going before?
We have had an unusually mild winter this year. I doubt Lake Erie has any ice. And water levels are higher than is usually, too.
I wouldn’t be surprised if LE is defending the parents as a cover to keep them talking. They could also still have questions/doubts about the family situation. It would not be the first time they did that. Just saying it is a possibility.
Yeah, I too wasn't worried by the tenor of the pre-conversation; but once Harley said Drip showed up at his house, that's a different kettle of fish, IMO.
BBM. "Datalounge does", is the answer. Trust me.
DataLounge - Wikipedia
The site has been (in)famous for decades. The above reference is merely "house style". The likelihood that anyone currently on Datalounge knows anything about anything... there's a reason most of the posts are anonymous. You could look for days without meeting a remotely verifiable rumor passed out by anyone with closer than third-hand information about it; and the site has lost a lot of its luster over the past few years.
It looks super sketchy to those who aren't familiar to it. It's really not. I wouldn't advise your preteen child to go reading it; and I don't go near it without a multiplicity of ad-blockers so I've never seen any ads; but for grownups, the ad-free site version is really nothing much. (/soapbox)
