I wonder if he owns any other property beside the pig farm or if he has relatives in his area that owns farms, any kind of farms?
I never watched the video interview, so maybe the information was different. . .
"Klunder drove the girls throughout the rural Dayton countryside before stopping at a hog confinement where he worked.
“I tried to be quiet in the truck,” <12 y/o> said. “He said that if we did what he said, he’d let us go. But I knew that we were a long way from other peoples’ houses. When we got to the hog confinement, I knew that something was wrong.”
<12 y/o> said that Klunder zip-tied their hands and took Kathlynn to another location on the grounds.
“He had a gun, but he left it. I took it and hid in the woods. I ran through the woods and past a field. I found a cemetery and then I ran some more,” <12 y/o> said."

To me, the article reads like he left her in the truck, but like I said I did not watch the actual interview and it won't stream for me now. If someone does have a link to the live interview, I would appreciate it. TIA!
Jumping back and forth between Kathlynn thread and here. Comments indicate his mother in law owns the 2 pig farms. (I have yet to see links to verify this as fact) He gets out of jail after 20 years, is able to find a wife, get a job, and buy a home. :banghead:
:moo:
I think they removed it. I did watch it though. Brave young girl. I'm sure that as a witness LE has gained important insight from her.
ETA: Brave D I'm sure led LE to Klunder. She gave a description of his red truck and Klunder being so tall they knew exactly who he was and where he lived.
I don't know what it is about some women, but they think they have to have a man in their life irregardless of his past. I think some women are actually attracted to men in prisons albeit I cannot for the life of me understand it. A co-worker of mine is this type of woman. She actually started corresponding with a prisoner. He was sentenced to 40 years for accessory to murder - not sure of the whole story, but he got out early too after serving only 19 - 20 years of the actual sentence. This woman who has two beautiful children, one of whom is a gorgeous teenage girl, actually went and picked this man up when he was released from prison and brought him into her home. He was still wearing an ankle monitoring device. I mean, come'on. I believe in forgiveness, but to bring someone who is potentially dangerous and insert them into your children's lives ??? WTH??? Do you really need a man that badly? :banghead:
In regards to pigman and his bride, he was released in February 2011 and married Lisa Flygstad in Florida last year, February 2012, one year after his release. I would almost bet money they had started their relationship while he was still in prison. I'm sure he told a good sob story, but really ? to marry this guy? Did she have a clue? :stormingmad: The same article says they purchased a house in Stradford recently. I wonder if they looked at houses in Evansdale, perhaps a home on Meyers Lake???
I can't find anything definite with links that says his MIL owned the 2 pig farms either Bunnyhop! This article says only vaguely that he worked at agriculture businesses in the area. I too don't get it - in jail for 20 years, gets out, gets a job, marries and buys a house within 2 years of his release. :banghead: It sounds like she may have money if in fact mommy indeed owns the 2 pig farms and perhaps is into real estate ? Lucky guy huh? :bang: I wonder how his wife is feeling along about right now . . . uke: Maybe I should give her the benefit of the doubt... perhaps she had no clue, but I think she knew about his past and married him anyway thinking he was "cured" or "wronged in the past." :curses:
