Learn about Jeremy

Even though he created his website in 1997, it was only in 2004 that Steele Shepherd (1963 - 2020) started researching and writing about the kind of person Jeremy Wade Delle was. He was the first one to do so, going beyond the Pearl Jam song. It is in fact thanks to Steele that the now famous higher-quality picture of Jeremy's face was presented to the world for the first time. 

Steele's website went offline following his death in 2020, but luckily a Wayback Machine copy is available. The section of his website dedicated to Jeremy Wade Delle contained multiple pictures, interviews to people who actually met Jeremy, details and considerations about the events and also comments from Jeremy's former friends that told more about the kind of person he was.

Findagrave is a website that acts as a virtual cemetery where you can leave virtual flowers and messages on the graves of a lot of people. Jeremy's virtual grave is on there as well and his profile contains info about the place where he is buried. 

It is said that The Jeremy Story was created by someone whose relative was in the classroom where Jeremy ended his life. Its admin (Jay? Amanda?) was the person thanks to whom the 1991 police report concerning Jeremy's death came to the public, together with a couple statements made by the Delle family. 

The website went offline in 2022, but luckily a  Wayback Machine copy is available. The Jeremy Story contained a very detailed list of chronological events from Jeremy's whole life, the 1991 police report and pictures of the Delle family's statements. 

Unfortunately, due to lack of sources and proof, part of the info on the website is considered of doubtful veridicity. If you want to read more about it, you can do so by checking out the article I wrote about The Jeremy Story.

WFAA (channel 8) is a television station serving the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex as an affiliate of ABC. In 2018, WFAA released an original which consisted in an interview to Wanda Crane, Jeremy Delle's mother, and to Brittany King, a former classmate of Jeremy who was in the classroom the day he ended his life. Pictures of young Jeremy and some of his drawings are shown.

This is the most comprehensive website about Jeremy that there is. It has a very humanizing, not glorifying nor demonizing approach and it tells about Jeremy's life in detail, but also tries to go beyond the events and understand Jeremy's feelings and psychology. 

It is managed by my friend Ash, who made me into a moderator in August 2021 and subsequently into an editor in December 2024. 

This is me! I created my Tumblr blog about Jeremy in July 2020. I started by posting drawings, thoughts and bits of the Jeremy-related trilogy No more "Later Days" which I also started in 2020. 

During the years, my approach and seriousness on the matter evolved together with me as a person and I turned to research, which led me to write several in-depth articles about Jeremy, essentially abandoning my 'youthful' artistic start. 

In late 2024, the blog got its own domain becoming waterfall7290.com.

This is the only released official and reliable document about Jeremy there currently is. It is 'reliable' in the sense that there are clear and real sources (Jeremy's father, Nancy, Michelle, Faye Barnett...) for the facts stated in it. 

jeremywadedelle.com and The Jeremy Story were heavily based on the contents of this document, which contains multiple witness reports, descriptions of how Jeremy was like and looked like and a timeline of the events prior to his passing.

In this censored version, info about the crime scene - which was present in the original, uncensored version - was blacked out in order to encourage people to learn about Jeremy and discourage them to view him as a true crime story.

You're on it! This was also created by me and it's the result of the evolution of my approach towards Jeremy. I needed a place where to post the more serious and in-depth bits, something that could be taken more seriously than a Tumblr blog. My decision came after both ssheps.com and The Jeremy Story went offline and after Ash (jeremywadedelle.com) stopped updating his website. 

Jeremy-wise, I felt like there were still things worth saying, worth researching, and I wanted to have a place where I could continue the work of the people who came before me. 

In late 2020 Jeremy's best friend Chris from Austin, met in Timberlawn, came forward and shared with Ash (admin of jeremywadedelle.com) what he remembered about Jeremy together with a few documents, one of these being a seven-pages-long letter Jeremy had written to Chris in September 1990.

Ash decided to publish the letter in January 2025. This is the first time ever a document about Jeremy which isn't a suicide letter or a police report is shared online; it is also the first time ever the public can read about how Jeremy really was... from the boy himself.

This candid letter humanizes Jeremy and really shows how he was like, with no filters and no hearsays. 

You can read about the reasons for which Ash and I decided to post the letter HERE.
