So many things that should have been done that weren't. I think we all agree LE messed up on some important things. At the top of the list is their failure to search structures nearest the abduction site that night. Had they done so, Dan wouldn't be a POI. I always believed the perp lived very close to the abduction site, and fled on foot, not in a vehicle. I think the perp had fantasized about abducting a boy for a while. I don't think he ever did it before, nor since. It was a one time thing. He crossed paths with the boys that day as they walked past his property, and he knew they would be passing by again to go home. He just went for it. He couldn't let Jacob go because Jacob would have been able to identify the structure he was taken to. The perp had a "clean reputation" to uphold and couldn't risk it. I believe the case would have been solved that night had LE searched structures located near the abduction site. If any of the property owners refused to allow the search without a warrant - big red flag for me, considering they were searching for an abducted child. I know my civil rights, but I certainly would not stand in the way when a child's life is at risk. Law enforcement not searching nearby structures that night is probably the biggest error in this case. That's why I don't think this case will ever be solved without a confession, and that is unlikely.
