I wonder if the "big puffy coat" is what led aaron and Trevor to identify the perpetrator as "husky"? Everyone looks bigger in a big puffy coat, especially in the dark.

Interesting. So LE identified a guy who had been dead for 5 years as a suspect in Jacob's abduction? Did LE not know he was dead because of his numerous aliases?

I wonder if the Rassier farmstead has/had a septic tank? Could be a nice place to hold a body.

DR should be named as a POI In the 1987 paynesville molestation cases. In 1987 DR lived in Saint Joseph (28 miles from Paynesville) and worked in cold spring (18 miles from paynesville). Also, Jared was abducted in cold spring (where DR worked) and jacob was abducted within walking distance...

So was he searching the outbuildings or sleeping? So many inconsistencies in his story.

I'm not going to jump to conclusions, but PP is a known child molester, he lived in the area, he was in a polka band of his own and his body type seems to fit the description of the wetterling perp (both he and the perp were "bulky"). Furthermore, thanks to the excellent sleuthing skills of...

Wow!!! Where in the world did you find this information? Excellent job!!

:seeya:

Jacob's abduction occurred on DRs property. That's a major connection to the case IMO. So really, DR's newsclippings about the case isn't that much of a issue to me.

Great find cGorg. PPs weight definitely fits the suspects description of a "burly man". Wonder if he had "husky shoulders"?

Based on research conducted by eileenhawkeye. It appears that the polka festival had a crowd of 600. "Searchers set up a command post at the nearby Del-Win Entertainment Center, where 600 persons were attending a polka festival at the time Jacob was abducted". Though 600 isn't a eyepoping...

Very interesting posts about polka padre. After reading these posts I started researching possible newspaper ads or ANYTHING pertaining to the polka feat at the delwin. Though no information was recovered, I did come across the linked site below, which are all the archived CSB SJU student...

So, we have 3 boys who all have flashlights? Don't you think that one of the kids would have observed a parked car?

This article appeared in the star tribune on November 21 1989: The FBI released new details of a car reportedly involved in the attempted abduction of a Wisconsin boy, and said there are striking similarities between that case and the abduction of Jacob Wetterling. The car is believed to be a...

Couldn't get the video to work. Yes, the rassier farm is listed on the national registry. The farmstead was deemed significant because of the architectual styles relating to early dairy farming in central Minnesota. Any modifications to the farmstead need to be approved by the Minnesota...

I'm sure that most of you have seen this clip, but here is a link for those who haven't: A Current Affair, October 26 1989, Jacob Wetterling, Jill Ireland, Zsa Zsa Gabor and Commercials - YouTube at 4:25 is a real time shot of the abduction scene. It appears that the Rassier had a dirt driveway.

Its probable that Jacob was taken to one of the two outbuildings that mysteriously burnt down on Rassier property. Coincidently, these buildings burnt down after the working theory changed from abduction by car to person on foot. Furthermore, the cause of the fire is undetermined.

Thanks. I had to go through numerous websites to piece it together. Unfortuently, I couldn't find any records earlier than 1998.
