Thanks MS.


^ This is Jacob Wetterling shortly before his abduction.


^ This is the piece of shit who is a person-of-interest in his abduction now, alongside a suspect sketch from back in 1989. If he's the guy, he would have been 26 when Jacob was abducted.

^ Danny James Heinrich, 52, was arrested at his home Wednesday night on suspicion of receiving and possessing pornography and have linked him to the abduction of the 11-year-old boy. He has not been charged in the Wetterling case.

Heinrich’s home was searched on July 28 by Stearns County authorities seeking possible evidence, including Jacob’s jacket. The warrant said no jacket was found, nor was any evidence directly linking him to Jacob’s disappearance.

But DNA was discovered on some clothing that may link Heinrich to a boy who was sexually assaulted in 1989, and Heinrich lives in an area where several other boys have been assaulted.

Heinrich was interviewed after Jacob disappeared, according to a search warrant. He was reinterviewed in 1990.

The Star Tribune is reporting that Heinrich has led authorities to Jacob Wetterling's remains, ending a 27 year search for him.

His family is devastated with the outcome, though I'm guessing somewhat relieved to know where he is and being able to lay him to rest.

I'm guessing in exchange for the location of the body that authorities have cut Heinrich some sort of deal.

A sad day for all in this state.
