Red wagon or orange hatchback?
Seriously, what kidnapper would let a boy use a pay phone.
And how many kids would know how to use a pay phone to call,long distance? Why would Jacob know how to do that? It was hard enough as an adult to have the change and then know how to call.
Take note, Stearns County LE!!!

Investigators released a recording of a tip call they received about the Mark Joseph Himebaugh case. Imagine what kind of renewed energy and tips something like this could bring to Jacob's case!
They also created a task force of 30 detectives and met for 2 days with NCMEC to review the case and now are setting up shop right in the neighborhood where the boy disappeared.
Why can't Stearns County do something like this for Jacob?? Instead, his case gets......crickets.....
He used the pay phone while the guy was in the gas station, correct? And he called the missing children's hotline, so maybe it was an 800 number
I am trying to remember the steps to a payphone. You need money. Coins.
I suppose he could have stolen them.
Call the operator who tells you how much money to put in.
Why would a kidnapper let him wander? It was not that long so brainwashing would have taken complete hold.
Jacob signed for the video at tom thumb, so he probably had the change too.
What doesn't make sense is his ability to make the call, or escape first then make the call.
All he needed was a quarter, at most. The world is filled with loose coins. They are not hard to come by.
Ok. But why would the kidnapper let him wander?
If he was smart enough to get to a phone and use it, why didn't he just run away?
The child wasn't buying the,no one loves you brainwash if he used a phone.
The only thing I can say to that is to listen to or read interviews with recovered kidnapped children.
I know what you are saying, but in this case Jacob was not gone that long and this phone call was made. That is not made by a child who is terrified and brainwashed. A brainwashed child would not reach out.
I think it depends on what he's been told, and we just don't know what that is.
When you say "near the abduction site", was it traveling on that road, or was it at Tom Thumb?
The red/orange wagon was seen in Kiwi Ct. on either 10/21 or 10/22, and was believed to have passed the boys not their way to the Tom Thumb store on the night of 10/22.
