Heather Bogle's killer is a suspect in another fatal shooting


Feb. 14, 2019

"FREMONT - Although Daniel Myers will spend the rest of his life in an Ohio prison after pleading guilty to the murder of Heather Bogle, authorities continue investigating a 2009 death involving his ex-girlfriend.

Sandusky County Sheriff Chris Hilton told the News-Messenger that detectives will work with the prosecutor's office to try and bring justice to the family of Leigh Ann Sluder, the woman who was found dead in an Emerald Estates trailer owned by Myers.
The two shared a child, Ethan, together.

The sheriff's office reopened the case involving Sluder after Myers was arrested for the Bogle murder in June 2017....

When the incident occurred on Feb. 28, 2009, Myers told police he found the 37-year-old Sluder in the bedroom of the mobile home, lying on a bed dead from a gunshot wound through the chest, with a rifle lying next to her.

When questioned about the incident, Myers told deputies Sluder suffered from mild depression.

Her death was ruled a suicide, the 2009 report said.

Sandusky County Prosecutor Tim Braun said during a news conference Wednesday, after Myers pleaded guilty to Bogle's murder and was sentenced to life in prison without parole, that the Sluder case was still an open investigation...."

'Don’t forget my sister'

Feb. 20, 2019

FREMONT — A woman whose sister died in 2009 under mysterious circumstances wants her death certificate changed.
“I don’t want her case to disappear now that Heather’s is solved. I will not quit,” Loriann Sluder Haley said.

Haley was referring to the conviction last week of Daniel Myers, who pleaded guilty to murdering Heather Bogle in April 2015.

She was also referring to the March 1, 2009 death of her sister, Leigh Ann Sluder.

It was Myers who discovered her sister’s body, inside a bedroom in a mobile home Myers owned at Emerald Estates in Clyde near another mobile home he owned where he lived. Sluder and Myers shared a son.

Sluder had been shot once with a shotgun, which was lying in the bed next to her body when Myers made the discovery. Sluder’s death was ruled a suicide....

Haley, who lives in Florida, said she was the last person in her family to speak with Sluder — in a 20-minute phone call less than a day before she died. She and Sluder discussed Sluder’s son and a soccer game during that phone call, she recalled.

“Not once did I get a hint that (she was) depressed,” Haley said, referencing a claim Myers made to police that Sluder was taking medication for depression...."

Bogle case leads to 2nd look at 2009 Clyde death

JUN 6, 2017

"SANDUSKY — Loriann Haley has been suspicious about her sister’s March, 2009, death since she received a phone call from a Clyde, Ohio, man who found her body.

Mrs. Haley spoke to her sister, Leigh Ann Sluder, on the phone on Feb. 28, 2009 — a conversation she described as “normal.” When she got a call from her sister’s phone number the next day, Mrs. Haley jokingly answered, “Didn’t I just talk to you?”

It wasn’t from her sister, though. It was from Daniel R. Myers, 48, of Clyde, whom Mrs. Haley had never met.

“He said, not in a distressed manner, ‘I found your sister dead in her bed,’ ” Mrs. Haley, 47, of Freeport, Fla., and formerly of Perrysburg, recalled....

“We had received information that Ms. Sluder’s death was suspicious to her family and friends and upon Mr. Myers being arrested with Ms. Bogle’s case, we thought it would be prudent to look at Ms. Sluder’s case,” said Chief Deputy Hastings. “Family and friends believe it was suspicious, so we wanted to take another look.”

Chief Deputy Hastings said Ms. Sluder apparently shot herself with a rifle, which was found in bed with her.

“A rifle to the chest seems difficult,” he said. “She was a petite woman. We want to go back and make sure everything was in line.”

Mrs. Haley described her sister as about 5 feet, 3 inches tall and weighing about 130 pounds...."

Heather Bogle slaying horrified the community

Feb 24, 2019

FREMONT — So much changed after Daniel Myers brutally killed Heather Bogle on April 10, 2015.
Her young daughter lost her mother. Her family lost a beloved daughter, sister and best friend. Her friends mourned for months and years, trying to understand how such a senseless loss could happen, and who could have done it.

The community was in shock, fearful and frustrated there seemed to be no progress finding her killer.

The lives of three people — all young African Americans — also were forever changed after the detective investigating Bogle’s murder identified each of them as suspects in her death. Keyona Bor, one of the three, said she lost her job, her home and was bullied on the Internet in the four years since that happened.

The detective who named her a suspect — Sean O’Connell — has since acknowledged he provided the prosecutor false evidence against Bor and the others, a fateful decision that led to him being removed from his job and, eventually, sentenced to prison...

Detectives restarted the investigation of Sluder’s death, but did not present any evidence to a grand jury. A source close the the investigation told the Register prosecutors offered to take the death penalty off the table if Myers agreed to plead guilty to killing both Bogle and Sluder. The plea agreement struck Wednesday did not include charges related to Sluder’s death.

Leigh Ann Sluder’s death will be further reviewed, Braun said.

“The case is under investigation,” he said. “It’s something we’ll pick up in the near future.”

Authorities rule 2009 death of Leigh Ann Sluder a suicide

MAR 6, 2019

"...Officials then reopened the investigation into her death after Myers was arrested for the 2015 murder of Heather Bogle and at the urging of Ms. Sluder’s family members who found her death suspicious. But on Wednesday, Sandusky County Sheriff Christopher Hilton and Prosecutor Tim Braun announced that Ms. Sluder’s death was likely a suicide as initially ruled, and officials were closing the case for good.

Sheriff Hilton said investigators received a suicide note on Feb. 26 that they believe was written by Ms. Sluder. Myers’ relatives found the note in 2017 while cleaning out his belongings after his June arrest for Ms. Bogle’s murder.
“Upon Daniel Myers’ plea of guilty in the Heather Bogle case, the family reached out to us and said they had this suicide note and that they believed it was Leigh Ann Sluder’s,” the sheriff said.

Prosecutor Braun said investigators heard talk of a suicide note in 2017, but no one asked Myers’ family members about any such note at the time. Myers’ conviction on Feb. 13 in Sandusky County freed up resources dedicated to that case and allowed investigators to pursue the reopened investigation into Ms. Sluder’s death, the prosecutor said. That’s when they discovered the existence of the suicide note.

The prosecutor said investigators interviewed witnesses again, studied the physical evidence, and took a second look at the crime scene.

“When we reopened the case, we were not happy with the original investigation,” Mr. Braun said.

In the note, which was addressed to Myers, Ms. Sluder purportedly wrote that she felt like an empty shell inside, that Myers had beat her down, used her for money, and “kick me to the side when the next best thing came along.”

“...no one really knows how it was for me because I put on a happy face @ work so they all thought I was happy happy joy joy Leigh Ann,” she wrote. “But all I ever wanted was to just die for that the hurt would stop.”

In addition to the note, Sheriff Hilton said Agent Gary Wilgus with the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation analyzed the rifle that investigators believed Ms. Sluder used on herself as well as her measurements and the position of both at the crime scene. The agent found that she would have been able to pull the trigger and that the wound and blood flow were consistent with a self-inflicted wound....

The announcement that the investigation into her sister’s death was closed for a final time came 10 years to the day of her burial, March 6, Mrs. Haley said. Her sister loved her two sons and loved animals. She was planning her oldest son’s 16th birthday party at the time of her death, Mrs. Haley said.

“So, that’s where it ends,” she said about the case. “There’s nothing more I can do about it.”"

Sheriff believes Daniel Myers shot Heather Bogle in his trailer

April 2, 2019

"FREMONT - Within minutes of clocking out at 6:17 a.m. from her third shift job at Whirlpool Corp. in Clyde, police believed Heather Bogle was fighting for her life.

Sandusky County Sheriff Chris Hilton said in an interview on Tuesday that Bogle was at Daniel Myers' trailer within seven minutes after she clocked out the morning of April 9, 2015.

He said it did not take long for Myers and Bogle to begin a scuffle that would result in the 28-year-old single mother being badly beaten....

Authorities never previously discussed details of the apparent timeline of events between when Bogle left Whirlpool, where she and Myers both worked, and when her body was found about 38 hours later.

"I think she was killed sometime between 6:30 and 9:30 a.m.," Hilton said. "I think he beat her unconscious and the last thing he did was shot her."..."

HEATHER BOGLE MURDER: COULD DANIEL MYERS HAVE KILLED BEFORE? (with clip)
One woman tells "48 Hours" she suspects the man convicted of the brutal killing of a 28-year-old Sandusky County, Ohio, mother also murdered her sister nearly six years earlier


October 18, 2019

"When she heard an arrest had been made in the 2015 murder of Heather Bogle, Loriann Haley knew the name of the suspect, Daniel Myers, very well.

"I was like, someday he was gonna get caught," says Haley. "It was unfortunate how he got caught with having to do with another girl being murdered."

Haley has long suspected Myers, who pleaded guilty to Heather Bogle's murder in February 2019, is also responsible for the death of her sister, Leigh Ann Sluder. Sluder was Myer's ex-girlfriend, who died of a single gunshot to her chest in 2009. Authorities arrived to find her with a .22 caliber rifle lying in bed next to her. Though the case was quickly ruled a suicide, Haley insists that Myers, who reported the death to police, is the one who shot her sister....

"Good Cop/Bad Cop: Solving the Murder of Heather Bogle," an all-new "48 Hours," airs Saturday at 10/9c on CBS."
