Agree that LE is going to continue holding their cards close to the vest.
I would simply add that we shouldn't necessarily assume that a crime has occurred here.
It's entirely possible that the only person involved in HD's disappearance is HD.
JMO.
I think at this point, they may know exactly who they’re after- they’re looking for him. Outing him publicly would endanger the boy.
or they have nothing
or they don’t have enough without locating remains
I was shocked to see on FB, News that there are people in Ohio that hadn't even heard about Harley until a day or so ago. In OHIO????? I'm in Kent Washington,and I knew well before them. Color me baffled.Sadly, I think they want this to go quiet.
Port Clinton and surrounding areas are tourist towns. Over 2 billion$ in income comes into that area from tourism every year. A kidnapping or crime (esp if trafficking or internet related) doesn’t look good.
I feel like if Chief was really wanting to keep this in the public eye he would release something soon to reignite the public’s interest. It is waning. The local facebooks aren’t talking about it much any more. The town looks as if there’s no boy missing. There’s a ribbon here or there. But by and large you wouldn’t know it driving around.
For someone from this area it’s upsetting and hopeless feeling like Harleys disappearance is going to fall silent.
So sad. I hope you have found peace and happiness as you got older.I’m not victim bashing, forgive me if this comes off that way. My home life growing up was similar because my Mom would call the police to my home whenever we argued and it began at this age. My Mom was manipulative and gaslighted me so when she would involve the police it was after she worked me up so much and used it as a threat to show her power. When the police came she was the victim and I was the out of control teen. It was awful. I am not saying that’s the case here, but it seems a bit excessive to have the police involved so often and for that reason.
I would spend as much time away from her as I could, seems the case with Harley too. So the fights would only occur whenever we were forced to be together. I hated the holiday breaks because my friends with normal families would be busy, there was no escape of school and I would be forced to be with her. I can see him wanting to flee...I also was very open to strangers because anyone was better than the monster I lived with.
Just my opinion
ETA- I had a sister who was 13 years young than me. Before her, I was an only child. It didn’t bother me that she was there because it took the attention off of me, which was appreciated. I adored her too.

I often wonder how much of what we are reading is speculation that turned to rumor.
In regards to what? WS or MSM or social media?
Pretty much everywhere. We share info we've read. It may not always be fact. It's like a game of telephone. Someone has a theory and somewhere down the line, that theory is being stated as fact. For instance, as stated earlier, someone mentioned his medical history being discussed freely and another person stated that his medical history has never been leaked via MSM. It's a full-time job weeding out fact from theory.
I had intended to quote another person's post in my earlier post, but I'm new and messed it up. Whoops.
Exactly. Such sketchy details lead most of us to theorizing...which can be a really good thing unless people start viewing the theories as facts.The facts that we have received directly from the police/parents seem sketchy and a lot of gaps in timeline. This is a 14 year old child. Maybe they don't want us to know anything, but as I said before, why say anything at all ?

The following are what I accept to be "facts" of the case:
HD is missing.
HD did not show up for school on Friday, December 20th.
His parents reported him missing to LE after 11 pm on Saturday, December 21st.
HD has numerous SM accounts.
HD has not been active on any of these accounts since he was reported missing.
LE has been called out to the D residence on 5 prior occasions for various domestic complaints, some of which directly involved HD.
LE has stated there is an image of someone they believe to be HD that was taken outside on the morning of December 2oth b/t 6 and 7 am.
I'm treating everything else that's been discussed here and elsewhere as conjecture, speculation, rumor, etc.
Including all statements by the family about HD, descriptions of what he was last seen wearing, his phone being broken and/or confiscated, and when the actual confirmed last sighting of him took place.

Has the ringcam image of him at friend's house been verified by LE?The only things I would add is that Harley was at his friends, sighted leaving on their ring cam Thursday 12-19 at 7:24p
And the surveillance cam / big foot looking photo was at 6:08 am on 12-20
