Daniel Myers still under investigation for 2009 death of ex-girlfriend (with clip)

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...."
