Does anyone know if various limbs on the Rassier family tree changed spelling to Roeser?
The culprit in this case likely was too troubled emotionally and behaviorally to tolerate much formal education or training, e.g., a high school drop-out, and therefore had no particular skill, trade or profession.
Studies have found that the more education one has, the less likely one is to commit violent crimes.* Bear this in mind when considering the various so-called persons of interest in this case. By coincidence, some of these individuals might have simply confused, distracted, and obfuscated the original investigation.
If you have lots of spare time, there is a complete "History of Stearns County" online that gives the names of each original settler in Stearns County. It has a short paragraph about each person; what they did for a living, who they married, how many children they had and the names of those children.
I saw several names we have discussed here. It's huge though, I read for a long time, just skimming from name to name, and only made it about 3 inches down the page. You can use the "find" feature though in your editing features to search for certain names. It's interesting reading about all these early settlers.

Just curious, why do you think that was a mistake to assume the cases were related? I can completely understand why investigators assumed they were, and I still think they might be related.
Just my opinion, but I do not think the two abductions were related. First if all, when you make a list of all the variables, there are far more differences between the cases than there are similarities.
Second, there was a man arrested in Jareds case. Information about that arrest indicates to me they had the right guy. But they let him go, and I think its because they knew he wasn't good for Jacobs kidnapping. LE at the time were very sure the cases were related. I think that was a mistake, particularly given the number of other attempted abductions in that area at the time. (I have found info about two other attempts in Stearns county that we haven't discussed on here yet, will post about them soon).
ELOCsoul...that's intriguing. Reading Jared's comments on Joy's blog he alludes to this and says the Paynesville assaults may have more in common with Jacob's case.
1. If LE had the right guy for Jared's case, do you know if they released him for lack of evidence?
2. Attempted abductions...are you able to make a map of these?
Jared came forward in 2004 and at the time he felt the cases were related. There's an article online where he discusses that with WCCO. I am only speculating here, but I think Jareds initial inclination that they were related was due to the notion there were just those two abductions. Now of course we know there were multiple attempts. My guess is in light of that information that Jared looks at things differently now.
Why they released the Cold Spring man I don't know. But remember it was the FBI that pushed the arrest. The BCA was upset that the arrest occurred without their input, and the Strearns County DA did not want to press charges. In my opinion, Jareds case was "solved" in 1989, but LE moved on, and in my opinion it's because they were convinced the cases were related.
So do you think that guy who was arrested and let go is still out there somewhere? Or was he possibly arrested for something else later?
I think the rassiers should sell the farm so that it can be turned upside down by an excavating company.
Either they would find nothing, or a graveyard. And all it would do is verify there was a body or bodies, or the possibility that bodies were disposed of elsewher. e if nothing was found.
What I find a bit odd is that even LE admits this whole case was poorly executed, but still will not accept any outside expert assistance. My suspicion is that it is entirely liability motivated.
If a body fell out of the farm there would only be one person who could have done it. The police were on the scene in 20 to 30 minutes, only daniel who was home alone could be responsible. The evidence of the shrine of newspaper clippings, video, and journal would also put the nail in the coffin.
The case is still active so that is why we dont have all the information you and i need. Thus is why thry cant accept assistance other than their own. I dont like how the investigation feels dead in the water right now. The rassiers should sell the farm to clear themselves, especially since the vehicle was ruled out.
I have the long form of the case copied out, but it doesn't give much more info. When I looked at the NC court cases, they had criminal and traffic combined in one area, and family court in another area, similar to the MN court site. But in MN they usually state what the offense was. On one of the NC court websites they had the term "demographic infraction" and stated that was a term used only on NC court sites for criminal cases. So I'm not sure either.
