I get what you're saying but do you really think you could pick out one of your children's friends over a decade later and not in your small hometown but in a city teeming with people? Perhaps you could, I don't know, but I don't much so much faith in family resemblance being a positive identifier.The teacher would have been a teacher in the Paynesville School District for a number of years, and recognized the family resemblance - not necessarily that it was Jackie. This boy had several brothers. In one article, the quote was she saw someone who looked like a "Theel boy." Not only did Jackie have several brothers who could all be similar in appearance, there was a large extended family in the area. We all know how strong family resemblance can be, especially if from a small, rural community. In my small town, I could look at my daughter's classmates and know which of my classmates were the parents.
Seeing someone who looked like a Theel boy, and seeing THE Theel boy are very different things. Potentially thousands of people could look like a Theel boy.
No, I'm more convinced than ever that this teacher maybe wanted to see Jackie, but didn't.
I don't personally believe he ever left town.
