I have just read that the remains of little Jacob Wetterling have been found after 27 years. My heart aches for his mom Patty, who never gave up hope that he was alive somewhere. It made me think about Elizabeth and Lyric. I am grateful that at least their families know where their girls are. Now if we could only learn what happened to them and who did it!
There's a lesson to be learned from Jacob's case.
For years, there was a suspect in the case based solely on the fact that he lived on the farm opposite the place where Jacob was abducted. I'm not going to name him because he has been subjected to serious harassment for the last ten years, to the point where it was affecting his mental health. I never thought he was the perp because his story made sense to me but to many people, particularly those unfamiliar with dairy farming, he was the obvious perp. The things said about him just on WS got so disturbing to me that I stopped reading the threads dedicated to Jacob; I just couldn't take it. It's one thing to state that Person X could have done it but the things said went way beyond that.
There are a whole bunch of people who owe that man an apology. Sadly, I doubt that even one person will do so.
Sometimes I worry that something similar is happening in this case because I doubt there's more one or perhaps two perps but there are way more people than that who have been speculated about.
