I appreciate all the thought that Dave K has put into this. I have been following for months, and while I do not always post, Dave K has brought up several points that I absolutely agree with. IMO. LE has uncovered just about every stone there could be in Jacob's case, setting aside any unintentional oops or overlooks. I just don't think there is much moire to get from that angle of investigation. Why not put that energy and manpower into the Paynesville assaults? I too have a pretty good gut feeling that they, Jared and Jacob are all connected. To begin with, those victims certainly deserve justice in their cases and I agree there is a good chance that more victims may come forward. I also feel there could be quite a bit of information from all the victims that have not been brought to the surface yet. If the victims of Paynesville really believed that. LE wanted to solve those attacks, whether or not it contributed to solving Jacob's abduction, they may work a little harder to remember more. It only takes that one or two tid bit to put a puzzle together.
Secondly, what the heck is there to loose by seriously and completely investigating Paynesviile? It's been 25 years. Twenty five long, heart aching years, and really, how much more do they really know now than back in 1989? Basically the only additions have been Jared's situation and what happened in Paynesville. I have noticed that some on here do not care for or appreciate what Joy has brought to this case. But I see it as someone who has at least brought a new arena for LE to be involved in and has also brought a lot of attention to Jacob, which is always valuable. And let us not forget that Patty seems to like her, and that's enough for me. Instead of going round and round about DR and spinning their wheels in that direction, let's take the little bit we have and start to dig deep. I too am not real keen on the idea that DR is involved. I really believe that if LE thought for one minutes he was, some sort of action would have taken place by now. It ceratinly cannot hurt and no one knows what it may lead to. Kudos to Dave K for taking the time to put it out there and coming up with a good amount of possibilities that could come from it.
