Thanks Pensfan.
I can't find the link, but I believe Kevin had been at a party/event, years after the abduction, and was telling the story of how he arrived at the abduction site before the police to a Marshall. Kevin said that he believed the tire track that LE was searching for at the scene of the crime was in fact the tire track he made while turning around on DR's property. The Marshall talked Kevin into to going to LE with his story. I will look for a link and post the story if I am able to find the article I read.
Since you study human behavior, I would be very interested in your opinion about DR's interview (2 part interview).

JMO, but he certainly has a "strange" or "odd" demeanor at times, which makes him look guilty, especially considering the serious nature of the topic.
I've watched those videos several times.
His giggling and smirking was bizarrely inappropriate, but there were many more red flags. I'm not an expert in statement analysis, but anyone can find the big red flags in this interview. Here are a few:
1.Dan refuses to mention the words "Jacob's abduction". Instead he refers to Jacob's abduction as as "what was happening at the mailbox" and "the conspiracy".
2. Dan never makes a single reference to Jacob's abductor. Not once. (Why? Because he's the abductor, IMO.)
3. Dan never mentions how Jacob or his family has suffered.
4. Dan never mentions how the real abductor must be found.
5. Dan never mentions how he is furious that the real abductor ruined his life
(Who wouldn't be furious at the monster who ruined their life and was also a child abductor? The answer is someone who brought this investigation upon himself.)
6. Dan isn't angry at the child abductor who ruined his life, but he is very angry at the police for frightening his parents when they came to search the gravel pit.
7. Dan states the worst day of his life was the day LE came to search his gravel pit.
8. He described his parents as scared because LE came to search their property. Dan uses the word 'scared'. The innocent might be annoyed or angry if LE searched our property and took things, but Dan says his parents were scared. His parents suspect that their son, Dan, is guilty, IMO.)
9. His 50 to 60-year-old mom had to be physically held on the ground when the police arrived? (wth? Now THATS scared.) Dan's dad had to be physically restrained by Dan.
10. The Rassiers were told to leave while LE was searching, but Dan HAD to return to the property to get some papers. (Music teachers have important documents that MUST be addressed immediately and can't wait for LE searchers to to leave the property? Dan just had to know what the searchers were doing. He just had to return even though he was told to leave.)
11. When asked why he would keep a box of Jacob Wetterling memorabilia, Dan answered the question with a question. (avoidance) He stated, "Why not? Wouldn't it be weird to let all this be lost in my memory?" BIG RED FLAG
(Dan needs to keep all of his abduction memories vivid (not lost) in his mind. This is precisely why serial killers keep 'trophies'.
12.Dan has lied about not journaling about Jacob.
13. Dan kept a pleading letter from Patty, but refused to call or write her back.(Why keep this letter when he refused to acknowledge her requests? It's part of the trophy collection.)
14. Dan experienced very obvious anxiety when he mentioned having to meet with Patty. Watch as he literally can't keep his bum in his seat at this point in the video.
15. Dan exhibits more inappropriate smirking and giggling when he mentions how he sat down and talked with Jacob's mom at her invitation.
16. At the last opportunity Dan had to demand that LE find the real abductor of the monster that abducted Jacob and ruined his life (actually himself), Dan refuses to do it. Instead, Dan ends his interview with trying to manipulate people into believing that Jacob is alive. (in other words, stop looking for the abductor. Everyone should just have hope, like Dan, the POI says.)
17. Most importantly, Dan had the opportunity to look into the camera and say, "I didn't abduct Jacob Wetterling. I am innocent. Find the real abductor." Dan didn't do this.
After reading this, Dan will not make the above mistakes on any future interviews.
