chef81, thanks for bringing that up, I sort of forgot about it. I would be curious too to see if anything came out of that.

Who? Louis or the Bromenshenkel guy?
I wonder if anyone ever made sense out of this?
"Dear Patty and Jerry,
My husband and I will be arriving in Mn sometime tomorrow afternoon. I had my operation on my adreanal gland a week ago and I am doing fine. The biopsy report has not come yet, I know it will not be in my favor. We will be doing an Expo for retired baby boomers at Mystic Lake Casino on the 5th and 6th. We have to be back to Az by the 14th , for I have a doctor's appointment then. I would like to meet with you as SOON as possible to locate Jacob. I truly believe he is alive and the man who came in to our store the day Jacob was taken from yous the abductor . I'll never forget his face or the look in his eyes,
Please contact me on my cell phone:651-251-7380

As far as I know a poster sent this into the Jacob Wetterling Center and they reported it to LE. I've never heard anything more about it, I'm guessing it was probably just another bogus lead. Also about DR, yes I do think he knows than he is telling and obviously LE knows that too. Why else would they make him a POI to the public.
I was the one who found that comment on a Jacob Wetterling story and reported it to the Wetterling foundation. I have never heard back so I am assuming it wasn't much for police to go on. Someone should call her to get her description of the perpetrator.
zeptepi- I was assuming she was working at the Tom Thumb at the time of the disappearance, but I do not know for sure.
It would have to be either the St. Joe Tom Thumb or the convenience store in Avon. IIRC, a woman reported the same creepy looking, staring guy stopped in her store in Avon around that same time. She recognized him from the missing flyers. I'll see if I can find a link.
Found it! And I never saw this article before either (at least not since 1989) it's very detailed.
" The man also was seen earlier the same day glaring at children and other customers at a convenience store in Avon, about 6 miles away."

Please try to call Patty Wetterling at her office or home- she has not changed her phone number. She also has an email at her State of MN office for Sex Abuse Prevention. She may not be on this website, but I am sure she would be more than happy to talk to you.

See post #65. JBrown already sent this info to the Wetterling Foundation long ago.

I have no idea what ever came out of that situation, or who the woman is and where she had even seen the man. I think this "creepy old man" as he is usually referred to, didn't have anything to do with Jacob's abduction. I can't imagine how he could have gotten ahead of the boys on their way home from the Tom Thumb without them noticing. I believe this man probably did give off a creepy vibe, and who knows what he may have been up to. But I don't get the feeling that he had anything to do with the dissappearance of Jacob. I think he was just at the wrong place at the wrong time, but who really knows for sure? Jacob was most likely stalked several days prior to the abduction, and whoever the perp was I think he might have known somehow that the boys would be alone that night. Any other opinions??
So many questions... not nearly enough answers. One question I had is about CB radios in the area. Do you think that the pizza delivery used CB radios to get in touch with drivers? Isn't that kind of rural communication easily intercepted? Also, if there was more than one person involved -ie one at the store or along the way, and one in position, couldn't this have been a way to communicate? I know that CB radios were big in the 80's. Maybe still - who knows? I think you have to rule out whether it was possible for anyone to have gotten info about the boys traveling to the store that night. If not it had to have been a spur of the moment decision based on opportunity.
I had said before, regarding the guy at the store's- if he weren't from the area and was acting strange- and dressed the way he was, he would definitely have stood out. By the same token, someone looking like that who was from the area would be easy to identify.
Okay, so spur of the moment leaves out a lot of people. It doesn't seem like there would have been a ton of traffic on that road in 1989. It looks like it dead ends at the cul de sac. It had to be someone who was on that road and saw the boys going to the store, and made the decision. Which keeps DR in the running. Who else lives on or travels that road? Did the boys see any cars on either leg of the journey? Did DR have anyone visiting at the house? I also have a question about the road where Anthony Rassier now has a house. At the time of the abduction, it was just a dirt road of some kind. How far back did it go? Did they rule out whether a car was parked there hidden in the trees?zeptepi: I bolded the part where I think you have hit on the answer. JMO
Wow, you all have to go listen to this! I was looking up the site that shows the original crime scene for zeptepi/solitary and they have added the whole full length 12 minute 911 call now. (They used to just have a quick soundbite of the guy calling.) I'm kind of freaking out, because the home were they say it happened is a name I haven't heard mentioned before and I know that guy. I think he may be dead now - not sure, but he used to come and till my folk's garden every year when I was younger. In the 911 call (which you click to hear under the video) you even hear Trevor's voice describing the guy. Did we know he was about 195 lbs. and about 5' 10"? I don't recall hearing that.
They have also added to the "in their words" video to include more comments from Aaron, Patty and Jerry.

Click on "in their words" for video, and on the scene for crime scene pictures.
Solitary: In answer to your pother question, there was no road where AR's house is now back in 1989. It's shown in the scene pictures, there is just kind of a turnaround area.
And the boys saw NO cars either coming or going to Tom Thumb.
