Joe Schexnider-R.I.P.-Possible Darwin Award Winner!!!!
My company does all its operations in Abbeville LA area. I subscribe to the Abbeville Meridional, the local paper. In May 2011, the Abbeville bank was doing some remodeling (they had previously walled in an old chimney many years ago) and re-opened the walled-in chimney and were doing some remodeling work. Upon doing the additional work, they discovered a body stuck in the chimney. The body had a wallet on it; however, the police wanted to wait until DNA tests confirmed the identity. July 27th, the Meridional published the results.
Joe Schexnider was the body. He'd been missing since January 1984. Joe was not an upstanding citizen and in 1984 the Police had a warrant for his arrest and contacted his momma. His mother said he disappeared often and may have gone off with a circus. His mother said she thought he was on the run from police, so she saw no reason to file a missing persons report (what a mom!!!).
He had gloves, cig case, a lighter, wallet and a watch (which didn't work-apparently the battery ran dead-just like Joe). The case is now closed according to the Abbeville Police.
You have to understand that chimneys are very small and have a flue or a damper and one can barely fit a hand up a flue, much less a body (unless you are Santa Claus of course and have "Magic Dust" or can tweek your nose that certain way), so this genetically flawed genius went down the chimney likely around Christmas 1983 at the bank, likely in an effort to rob it and got stuck for 27 years!!! Thank you Joe for dying at 22 y.o and NOT contaminating the gene pool with your offspring!!!
