They were coming down the trail used, resulting in a 911 call to police. Now here is a good question, how was DR so alert that he even saw this happening?

I'm struggling with the notion that it's been four years since that last dig at DR's farm with no evidence sufficient to make a charge. I know technology continues to improve, but -- was there nothing substantive on DR's computer, journal, or elsewhere to incriminate him? Did the FBI check to see if there have been any "incidences" in any of the many places where he has run marathons? I know people get away with murder all the time -- we see it here on WS all too often. Did DR really pass the polygraph or was it inconclusive?
I would love to know if the FBI was able to track DR into the "deep web" to see if he belonged to any online groups that were into certain kinds of *advertiser censored*
I'm sorry about posting without a link about the first FBI unit to respond to be a bank robbery unit. Can anyone else chime in if you remember reading that or have a link? I thought it was in one of the magazine stories with interviews of PW. Now, upon Googling, I only see a Google results blurb for an article I can't access without subscribing to the Bemidji Pioneer "Forum discusses sexual exploitation, sex trafficking in Bemidji area." From the Google results blurb, I can see it, but then I can't access the same in the story to read the rest of the sentence. I know that is NOT where I originally read it. Can anyone help? If not, I can try news database later after my work week ends.
I believe LE knows 50 to 70 pecent more than the public. For 15 years they led me to believe a man in a white van is responsible. How much more do they know now.
Where did you get the white van info? I never heard that.
Hm. I think the white van idea was ditched right away.
The footprints appear to have been in the media, so we missed them or were not paying attention to it.
The reports did say the guy had something in his head, although we were led to believe the sketches were related.
Dead end road? Not sure what that means? I think we knew that the Wetterling's lived in a cul de sac.
But there was no reference to DR that I ever saw

I was 13 in 1989, that was what I heard by word of mouth. For the next 15 years we only knew jacob was taken in a vehicle, preferrably a white van. I never heard about a footprint, a gravel driveway, a dead end road, or even that the man was disguised. They had that sketch of a face for 15 years.
The bloodhounds used the day after Jacob's abduction led investigators to the tire track, but would they not also have led them to the house or other locations on the property? I read they searched a two mile radius.
You know, the one thing that struck me while re-reading a timeline for Jacob's case is how, just as in Joshua's case, authorities used every resource available and conducted an extensive search -- everywhere except for the one place they should have -- in Jacob's case, inside DR's house; in Joshua's case, inside the abbey.
I've said this before == those are the first two places I would have gone. I just don't understand.
Probably due to those in charge thinking no way could these nice church going farmers with the teacher son, or the wonderful priests/monks at the abbey have had anything to do with such a sordid crime as kidnapping a child or a young adult male.
We are learning now, in hindsight, how wrong we all were thinking that all priests were beyond reproach.
I dont believe the newspapers ever detailed the crime scene. Until the internet happened and new answers to the public, became apparent (seeing the area overhead via satellite and discovering the hill).
