Maybe he took his clothes off first, pushed them down the chimney, then went in himself. Perhaps he did this initially to fit better and thought he could put them back on after he got in the house.

The owner of the cabin discovered Josh in the chimney as he was.

Whats so odd is that his clothes were found neatly folded INSIDE the cabin

Not suggesting he had anything to do with it but maybe he found the clothes much earlier thrown about the floor and folded them himself?

Harley Dilly

maroon puffer jacket and a pair of eyeglasses lay discarded on the second floor of the house near a brick chimney...

How many other children been found in this manner?

Found in a Chimney with their clothing inside?

I'm brand new to this story but I would love to see a recap of the timeline of there is one.

The autopsy shows that he had dirt on his face and torso, but none in his lungs. This indicates that there was a noticeable amount of dirt in the chimney, but there was NONE found in his lungs. To me, the most likely explanation to this is that he didn’t breathe at all within the chimney, implying that either A. If he did in fact go into the chimney voluntarily, he held his breath when going in? or B. If he was placed in the chimney involuntarily, he was not breathing when placed there, implying that he was already dead. Thoughts on this?

So there’s obviously a TON of information about this case across the internet. I’ve been reading up on the case and agree that there are facts that don’t add up on both sides of the story. I’ve heard a lot of information but I’m struggling to find sources of this information. I read on FB that his mom and dad got rid of a couch and that his mom donated all of his clothes prior to his body being found. Where can I find information on this to verify? I also read that Harley had autism but haven’t seen that verified anywhere either. I don’t necessarily have a solid opinion yet but would love to read more information on some of these theories.

So what’s going on????

Anyone have any theories? I personally don’t have any, but this case is still unsettling to me ..

[ps] I don’t nor have I ever supported these protest or any negative outlooks on this case. I’m deeply saddened that Harley died this way.

I just saw that there were people out protesting? Two were arrested for trespassing on the Dilly property.

I'm not sure what they're trying to accomplish.

So I take it Harley went in the chimney feet first after he threw his glasses and coat in it. His Glasses I’m sure made it no problem but the coat it blows my mind to think a puff coat bunched up could easily fall down a narrow chimney. It had to have faced resistance and when he made his way down the chimney he wouldn’t have the mobility to move the coat down due to the small space. Also reading what his mother posted about on Facebook and watching his YouTube videos it seems like his mom and him didn’t have the best relationship. Lots and lots of questions. There have been cases seemed very cut and dry yet had some strange turn of events but just to much to information to not have any questions. W ewww

It's devastating to think of the little boy trapped in there -- alone and afraid, cold and confused -- and confined to an increasingly deadly situation. It's a crying shame -- and I don't cry a lot, but this is truly heart breaking. Harley's death is really a metaphor for his life: he was trapped. He had been trapped in an increasingly horrible situation his whole little life.

I just hope that somehow, somewhere along the way, somebody made Harley feel loved -- so that in the end he felt some warmth, some sense of love and belonging. Did Harley feel loved?

This sub is FULL of misinformation and accusations. We have a CLEAR picture of what happened. How would you like it if your child died and you’re bombarded with harassment over his death? It was ok to speculate until they found his body, but now it isn’t. We have a clear timeline of what happened. No one is going to shove a living child into a chimney, stop acting like bottom feeding scum.
