I hope this doesnt get removed but im just being honest in my opinion. I was in the National Guard when Jacob was abducted. I was 20 at the time. We were activated to look for "evidence of the abduction". When we were all gathered around for the debriefing, our commander had given us the information that was given to him. He reported everything that the media had received and was widely publicized. But he also added that the abductor asked "which one of you is Jacob?" Now let me stress that he could have been completely wrong and the abductor only asked which one of the kids was the oldest. But what if he wasn't? Ive always had this belief since the abduction. It is my own opinion only. If the abductor was really looking for Jacob personally, how would he know where the boy would be at any given moment? I think Jerry Wetterling had something to do with it. Jerry is Jacob's step dad and not a bio-dad. In all the pictures they showed of the grieving family did anyone EVER see Jerry shed a tear or even look sad? He just looked like i do when i go to the dentist "well, im just sitting here and i got to get through this". Just cold and stoic, not what you'd expect from someone who's son is missing. Yes, i know we all handle stress differently, but i mean come on! You're going to have some emotion! Maybe Jerry hired somebody to take Jacob. Why? Jacob was Patti's boy and maybe got a little too much attention that could have been directed toward her husband. Sounds far fetched? The green monster of jealousy has done much worse in the world. Jerry knew where they were going to be and when. He gave the kids permission to go to the store to rent a movie. He knew how long it would take to get there. He makes a phone call to the abductor. (yes, there was some planning involved before this point) the abductor lays in wait. He probably has seen pictures of Jacob and knows what he looks like but it's dark and pictures always look different than people do to some degree. There is more than one child too. He asks which one is the oldest. Jacob was most likely the oldest. But to be sure asked which one of you is Jacob so he doesnt grab the wrong kid. Jacob is gone. Jerry gets more attention from his wife not to mention the free advertising for his chiropractic business in town. This was before the age of cell phones so there would be no cell phone record. I can tell you one thing. If the commader of my company received and gave us the right information, I am not wrong. If he was wrong on the info then anything is possible. Even so, why would the abductor ask for the oldest? Wouldn't a child molester go for the youngest? Anyway, this has been bugging me for years and years and i feel better that i've spoken my mind. thanx for your time.
