Tell me about the coworker. When did he die?

I think it was sometime in the late 90's or early 00's. He committed suicide shortly after fleeing from law enforcement, and they didn't find his body for a few years.

Nice work digging all of that up! I have always felt Paul's ex was behind it. I think I even mentioned that way, way back in one of the threads on this topic. It is nice to see some corroboration to that theory. I also always felt more than one person wrote the letters, but I was not aware of the coworker angle. It totally makes sense though. Still a mysterious case, but I think your theory pretty much hits the nail right on the head.

Great work! That really brings a lot more to light, and it makes sense. It's also completely unsurprising that the jealous co-worker would've committed a crime like rape. Geez.

Very interesting read. Thanks!

Any reason you didn’t name David Longberry in the original post?

Because I didn't want people to think that Martin Yant was the one who told me this information. He never named names in any correspondence with me. I found Longberry's information from one of the files posted by Paul Freshour on the internet and connected the dots. Yant only referred to him as a "coworker", so I relayed what he told me.

Circleville, Ohio, is a town built by Hitlers. Little mementos commemorating the importance of the Hitlers are all over the town—from the beautiful waters of Hitler Pond to the greenery of Hitler Park and even across its many roads named for Hitlers.These roads, though, aren’t named for Adolf. They’re named for the good, decent Hitlers who built the community. Men like George Washington Hitler; his son, Dr. Gay Hitler; and the very first Hitlers who settled Circleville.When Dr. Gay Hitler opened a dental center downtown in 1922, his name was nothing more than a sign of pride and connection to the community’s heritage. It only took a few more years, though, for that to change. When the first news reports on fascism’s rise in Berlin started spreading through the country, calling yourself a Hitler stopped being something to brag about.It was hardest for Dr. Gay Hitler’s brother, George, who had moved to Akron. His boss was so afraid of having a Hitler on staff that he tried to bully George Hitler into changing his name.In Circleville, though, the name still held its dignity, and the population never turned their backs on the Hitlers. To this day, they refuse to change the signs that bear the name “Hitler.” Even in the darkest times, Circleville alone was a place where a man could hold his chin up with pride and declare that he was Gay Hitler.

I didn't realize Paul died.

Is Mary still alive?

To my knowledge, yes.

[BuffaloBill]

She's 75 to be exact.

Does anybody really believe that Mary’s relationship with the superintendent began after the letters were sent? Yeah right.

Nope.

What bugs me, is the fact that Paul was denied parole, as the letter kept being sent. One would think it would be fairly easy to rule him out, considering his mail would be vetted, as the main reason he was convicted, was that the jury believed he was responsible for sending threatening letters.

This case is full of holes, and I honestly believe the Ron suspected his wife was having an affair, and knew exactly who the other man was. I do not believe the family is telling the truth. To have a BAC of 0.16, it would take a 180 pound man to drink a considerable amount in a short period of time....maybe 12 drinks in 2 hours, to be that intoxicated. That's blackout drunk.

While there are still many Hitlers down in Pickaway County, and in fact at least one road down that way still bears that name, what does any of this have to do with the Freshour case other than that it involves Circleville?

Sheriff Radcliff died early today. His health had been declining for some time.

I always felt like there was more than one Circleville Writer. I think one was Paul’s Ex wife (who likely had no issue setting him up), one was a co worker and the other was some type of relative of the Superintendent. And YES I think an affair was happening. I think Ron crashed and killed while drunk sadly.
