Bones, clothes fell on construction worker when he tugged on fabric
ABBEVILLE, La. — 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.
"At least we know where he is now," Schexnider, 48, said, tears welling in his eyes ahead of his brother's funeral and burial. "At least he's home."
Nearly three decades after he disappeared, much mystery lingers about the case of Joseph Schexnider and involving a small town bank in the southern Louisiana city of Abbeville. Police say Schexnider became trapped and apparently died in the bank's chimney in 1984. But beyond that, they know little more.

I am truly amazed that one could smell a body decaying.
Must have smelled like beef jerkey.
The idiot was trying to steal something. Why else would he take his gloves from him. I want to feel sorry for the clown, but I feel he got what he deserved.
How DOES one get "accidently" trapped in the chimney of a BANK (another coincidence)? He was just taking a walk around town and fell into the chimney? Some wind picked him up from his front yard and like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, deposited him far, far away in a chimney? Get real.
