A preliminary autopsy report released Friday of homicide victim Heather Bogle revealed more details of her brutal death last April.
The newspaper has been seeking to view the preliminary autopsy report for homicide victim Heather Bogle since mid-June. Stierwalt and Assistant Prosecutor Norm Solze have failed to respond to a June 25 letter from The News-Messengers attorney.
"A year is a long time it truly is. but here as the sheriff's office and here in the community. If you go after someone or multiple people you want to make sure you have you T's crossed and your I's dotted,” said Sandusky County Sheriff Kyle Overmyer.
Overmyer says they still have the same two people as persons of interest: Keyona Bor,24, and Omar Satchel,34, who is actually in jail on a weapons related offense. He reached out to WTOL from jail via letter, proclaiming his innocence.
It's been one year since the murder of Heather Bogle and friends and family still have no answers.
On this somber anniversary, the tight-knit community held a vigil in Fremont...
Sheriff Overmyer says investigators are still conducting interviews. No one has been charged yet in this murder but two "persons of interest" are locked up on unrelated charges. He says a $5,000 reward for tips leading to a conviction is still available.
Kayree "Manny" Jeffery, 26, of Fremont, was named a suspect Monday by Sandusky County Sheriff's Office Detective Capt. Sean O'Connell...
There is more evidence to be collected, O'Connell said, but the evidence gathered so far suggests that the two people he named as suspects in September, Omar Satchel and Keyona Bor, were involved in Bogle's death...
“There is some evidence to suggest Kayree was involved in Heather’s homicide," O’Connell said. "We feel comfortable naming him a suspect."
The sheriff on Wednesday took back the Heather Bogle homicide investigation from state investigators.
I want residents of Sandusky County to know we are not only involved, we are now the lead investigators on the case with BCI assisting us, said Sheriff Chris Hilton, who was elected in November and began his term earlier this month.
Hilton and his team met for about three hours Wednesday with investigators from the Bureau of Criminal Investigation, the state crime lab thats part of the Ohio Attorney General's office.
BCI will turn over its investigative files and sheriffs detectives will take the lead on the investigation.
I think this is a very solvable case, Hilton said.
The Bogle investigation languished for 16 months under OConnell, with family members complaining that the detective refused to interview potential suspects and provided them misinformation about the status of the probe. At one point, the family asked the FBI to take over the investigation, but that never happened.
Authorities described Fridays raid at a trailer park as a major breakthrough in potentially pinpointing the suspected killer in an unsolved murder case.
The Sandusky County Sheriffs Office executed three search warrants for a trio of properties parked at Emerald Estates, located at 846 County Road 224.
"The two trailers that we did executed search warrants at the end both are current Whirlpool employees," added Sheriff Hilton.
While O'Connell was investigating, he told The News-Messenger he believed a small handgun was used in Bogle's slaying.
O'Connell believed the gun used might have been in the possession of Omar Satchel, who was convicted a year ago of having a weapon while on parole in an unrelated case.
Satchel was one of three people named as suspects in the case by O'Connell, along with Keyona Bor and Kayree Jeffrey.
Hilton said his team is not ready to name any suspects but is not ruling anyone out, either.
"I don't consider anybody a suspect at this moment," Hilton said. "As far as the three previously named, I think we are still (deciding) whether or not they had any involvement. I am not ready to say it is not them."
A 48-year-old Green Creek Township resident was arrested Thursday and charged with aggravated murder, aggravated robbery and kidnapping in the 2015 homicide of Heather Bogle.
Daniel Myers, whose residence at the Emerald Estates Trailer Park was searched by law-enforcement officials last week, was booked into the Sandusky County Jail on Thursday and is being held without bond.
Sandusky County Sheriff Chris Hilton said law enforcement is looking at additional suspects in the case.
Hilton said Bogle and Myers both worked the same shift and on the same production line at Whirlpool and saw each other every night they worked together.
The sheriff said he did not know how long Bogle and Myers worked together at the Clyde plant or whether they knew each other outside of work.
Authorities said the work connection between the two did not prompt the arrest. They cited warrants surrounding electronic communications that werent previously investigated.
Myers' daughter, Danielle Frisch said, "if he's guilty, he deserves what he gets. The family deserves justice."
Frisch told 13abc's Brigette Burnett it's possibly her father killed Bogle. She added, "my father is my father. You don't get to pick them. He's always been a violent man."
The mother of Frisch's younger brother, allegedly committed suicide.
Tony Rando said, "they said she shot herself in the back bedroom."
Rando worked with Frisch and lived next to him at the Emerald Estates. Other neighbors told 13abc they had their doubts about the 2009 suicide. Now, authorities do too.
"We are thrilled that the new sheriff has made so much progress and we hope and pray they find whoever else may be involved as soon as possible," Sherry Hartness, Bogle's aunt from Sharon, South Carolina, said Friday.
Bruce Bogle, Heather's father, posted on Facebook, "Now you can rest my sweet baby girl," Thursday after hearing of Myers' arrest.
Myers pleaded with Sandusky County Judge John Kolesar to allow him bond so he could continue working at Whirlpool and taking care of his 12-year-old son.
Kolesar denied the request and sent the man back to Sandusky County Jail for at least the hearing, set for June 8, saying Myers is charged with a capital punishment offense.
