ABBEVILLE, La. (AP) — The narrow, brick chimney of a Louisiana bank became his tomb for 27 years and now Joseph Schexnider will be laid to rest Sunday in a proper grave with a proper farewell by his family. Still, his brother Robert wonders, how did he wind up in that chimney? Didn't anyone hear any cries for help? Was it a robbery attempt gone awry, an accident or something more sinister?

What a bizarre and terribly sad story. Even though it sounds as though the young man was pretty screwed up, it's terribly sad that he died in such an awful way, alone. Makes me wonder whether he had some partners in crime who were at the top when he went in, and then left him there to die after he got stuck. I shudder at the thought.

Very interesting story, John.
