After 29 years there is finally a major breakthrough! https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2024/10/02/morgan-nick-kidnapping-arkansas-billy-jack-lincks/75485425007/

Yes! I have been keeping up with the podcast and have been in touch with them. They are doing a great job finding and revealing new information about Josh’s disappearance. I had forgotten that the local papers had published information about Josh participating in online chats, etc. Another...

I tend to doubt Welch’s involvement. There were two carnivals operating in the area that weekend. One in Kimball at St. Ann’s church. I spoke with the owner of that carnival and he said he had a young man named Lloyd on his staff, but he was from Appleton, WI and was arrested for writing bad...

Well you got me there, lol. However, I would say the malfeasance with that case lies more on the office of the District Attorney than it does on the Sheriff’s department investigation. Law enforcement had Heinrich for the Paynesville incidents and Jared’s kidnapping months and years before...

How certain is it that Josh’s friend was accurate in say Josh had taken his wallet to the party? My understanding is the wallet was found at Josh’s apartment, but are we absolutely certain of that either? Again it seems to me that if both aspects are correct that would have been a huge red...

This is certainly an interesting twist if true, and my mind immediately goes to staging by someone, and then to the hour or so time discrepancy between Katie and Nick as pointed out in the Unsolved Mysteries program. If your scenario is accurate, and I’m more on board with it than I was...

As a fellow true crime sleuth I very much admire your thought process. Regarding the article and the statement that Josh had his wallet, isn’t it possible this was miss-reported? Why would they report that he had taken his wallet unless it turned up missing?

How did you like Patty’s book? I thought it was very well written. Spoiler alert! I cringed at times when Patty acknowledged being in denial that Danny Heinrich was involved, right up to the point of his courtroom confession. Yet, it explained some things that happened over the years. I also...

Thank you, but I didn’t solve the case either. In my next book I’ll share more of the real story about Joy Baker. When I met her at the library in St. Cloud in November 2013 to share more information I had, she said she wanted to write a book about the case. “But I have to have Patty for that,”...

Agreed. Heinrich is a classic example of a John Douglas profile.

Here is a detailed timeline of the Wetterling case, including the lead up to Jacob's abuction with the Paynesville cases, Jared's abduction, and the subsequent investigation. Contrary to what we we've been lead to believe, the Paynesville cases were on Law Enforcement's radar and Danny Heinrich...

I’m not sure Sas was I into DR? I do recall SelTel who later morphed into Mossad…. He was the highly intellectual one who met with and convinced Joy Baker that Duane Hart was the kidnapper right up until the end. Once the files were released it was proven that Stearns swallowed the bait and were...

That would probably be appropriate. I’m looking forward to reading it as well. It won’t focus so much on the investigation I don’t believe. In fact, I read an interview today that stated they were worried the 20/20 program was going to be aimed at the true crime crowd because that’s not the...

Thank you very much! I do miss the the peeps and the time I spent debating things on Websleuths. This is where I cut my teeth in true crime. I learned to take in different perspectives which really helped develop my analytical senses, or something like that. I went on to focus on much lower...

Thank you, but to clarify, when I sent that tip in they were actually digging for Jacob right across the road and not because of my tip. I was doing what John Douglas would do at the time and a lot of things fell into place exactly like he would have said it would, including a triggering job...

The details are very disturbing. I don’t think the book will go much beyond what was described in the 20/20 program as far as that goes. In Heinrich’s courtroom confession he says the gun just clicked at first, then it went as Patty described in the program. Ironically, on the very date that...

No. If you watched the documentary Ken McDonald stated they knew about the Paynesville incidents but couldn’t share information with Baker. Baker had an odd entitlement mentality, saying the law enforcement was stonewalling her (she literally communicated that to me). Well, of course they can’t...

The Paynesville cases were connected to Jacob and Jared from the beginning of the investigation. It has been documented that Paynesville police and Stearns County were into Heinrich for the PV cases and Jared’s case. The Joy Baker “discovery” is a narrative to shift the focus of a botched...

I like those two guys - they are among my favorites, but on this episode they strayed too far into the Smiley Face killers IMO. They could have focused more on the recently revealed online chats.
