The homeowner mentions that it would be extremely difficult to get in the house through the chimney, but coming in from the top of the chimney isn't mentioned. But that is thought how he got in I thought. Also, was there any confirmation on whether he was feet first or head first?
Re BBM
We had lots of discussions on that but no confirmation from LE. Most feel he would have went down feet first but some wondered if head first because of the jacket getting outside into the room.
IMO I think even with feet first he could pretty easily remove a "puffy jacket" and then squeeze it past his body to get it below him and out into that room. All he would have to do is do it little by little as he squeezed it past his body.
Going down a chimney feet first can be done by pressing your back up against one wall and then pushing your feet against the opposite wall which pins you without falling further down. By also doing the same with the hands on opposite wall you can slowly maneuver down.
Not sure if this diagram will come out right. Trying to show two walls and a person using that technique. The person head is the "O" and his body is the slashes "\".
