In my opinion, DAH very well could have done this. He was charged in July, but was most likely free until his sentencing date in October. Bail was probably set low as they didn't take child sex crimes as seriously back then. 300 days could have been cut in half. He could have taken Jacob and did something with him- killed, disposed or passed him off to other pedophiles and that is why he could have been free to commit another crime 4 days after the kidnapping. In my studying the suspects, he is the only one who was a violent predator who liked to jump out and scare kids then molest them. The number of violent molestation instances (5 or 6 times a week for 6 years for one victim, 400-750 for another) reported by the 4 young victims of DAH (boys around the same age as Jacob) that were reported when he was committed seems that he had a large insatiable appetite for young boys. (I can't imagine one instance, but these kids must have endured years of hell) He was probably getting more and more brazen increasing the level of dangerous ways to procure the victim. Each more exciting than the next. He has an "utter lack of control" according to psychiatrists, used "isolation, bribes, threats, force, and alcohol" on his victims.
Maybe DR or his relatives know DAH and DAH has dirt on the family so DR cannot tell unless he wants his family's secrets to come out. It seems like Stearns County is also covering for the Church predators preventing the Josh G case from being solved and determining BW's death an "accident". I do not trust Stearns County or Sanner to solve this or Josh's case. They probably named DR to take the heat off of themselves.
