Great Articles you found Starr!
I’m guessing the sailor suit to be accurate because a mom would remember what her child was wearing on his first day of school- especially if that was the last time she ever saw him. I’d like to know more about that creek- how deep, how fast flowing & if remains were ever found- possibly very, very far downstream. JmoGreat Articles you found Starr!
If the soldier lead was a dead end, what about the description of Jackie wearing a blue sailor suit? Could that be accurate?
In that same article, the siblings that were interviewed go pretty in depth about the drowning theory..I’m guessing the sailor suit to be accurate because a mom would remember what her child was wearing on his first day of school- especially if that was the last time she ever saw him.

another snippet from this article: "Both Annabelle and Fay are suspicious of the sighting of car picking up a boy wearing a sailer's suit and looking like Jackie on the same day he disappeared. That someone else would be spotted in Paynesville who was dressed like Jackie and looked like Jackie on the same day he disappeared is quite a coincidence, according to Annabelle and Fay.
Nice find!
Gladke was apparently just starting her first year of teaching...?
Also: I doubt this has any direct relevance to this case, but it seems that Jackies older brother, Donald, committed suicide by hanging in August of 1979.
Satch,Thanks for this,
I know that Donald died in 1979, but where did you find out that he hanged himself? Here is Jackie's Dad's, Harold's gravesite:
Harold Alvin Theel (1904-1991) - Find A Grave...

Hi Satch!Based on our research, who among the Theel siblings is still living? They had 15 kids!

Hi Satch!
Based on what I have been able to find, Annabelle Theel, who was 16 at the time of Jackie's disappearance, may still be alive, she doesn't seem to have been interviewed since 2004, but I was unable to find an obituary for her. I will continue to look into the other siblings
Satch,Thank you!
What about Fay? They collaborated on a few interviews.

I also noticed that on page 2(ish) of this thread, Sgt. Gary Theel commented, who would have been the nephew of Jackie, his dad was the older brother that was supposed to walk him home that day... I am not sure he is still around but he did leave his contact info on that postThank you!
What about Fay? They collaborated on a few interviews.
Satch
Oops... I meant to say that I believe that Fay is still alive and I also believe I have found his current address and phone number.Satch,
I actually just searched for Fay.... I found his address and phone number. He is 80 years old and I have not found an obituary but I am not sure that I am able to share it on here.
In that article, another sibling is named, Judy Espelund. She is on Facebook.Article and video on Jackie's case from 2016:
