I haven't seen a complete overhead that shows the gravel pit being dug up in relation to where it was from the home. There are several pictures online of close-ups of the gravel pit while they were digging, but they are all zoomed in on the pit. My "guess" would be it must be on the southeast side somewhere, because in the video below you do not see the gravel pit in the overhead farm pictures, but you do see the whole main home, farm buildings and crops directly around the home. They also show digging up the farm pit, but not in relation to other buildings on the farm.

This video has some different angles of the farm, shows them digging, has snippets of that early interview with DR (with his face blurred out), and has the news story about some parents objecting when DR was going to start teaching music at St. Boniface school in Cold Spring, MN. (The school decided to place a paraprofessional in his class to assist, who was later removed.)

Rassier has taught band and music in the Rocori school district, which includes schools in Cold Spring, Rockville and Richmond. He is also a former volleyball, basketball and softball coach and advised the yearbook for the district. Efforts to reach Rocori administrators Friday were unsuccessful.

More from Immelman

Rassier, now 56, was home alone at the time. He has been questioned multiple times, but his name didn’t come out publicly until 2010, when authorities searched his family farm over two days [link added]. Forensic tests on items taken from that search have yielded no evidence linking them to the crime, but investigators are still testing some items, or waiting for technology to advance so additional testing can be done.

More from Immelman re the interview by Julie Nelson

The soil samples taken from the Rassier property yielded no evidence of Jacob. Investigators are still, however, processing things taken from the house, mainly papers from Rassier's bedroom.

"It's organized but it's so much stuff and so much paperwork files on everything and I have a Jacob Wetterling file," said Dan.

"Why?" asks Julie.

"Why not," he answers. "Would it be weird to let all of this be lost in my memory."

Rassier says the file contained newspaper clippings, videotapes of news and a letter from Patty Wetterling.

"Was that letter addressed to you?" asked Julie Nelson

"It was addressed to me but it looks like it went through the sheriff's department. It was basically pleading with me to, basically accusing me that I did it and that would you please end this whole thing and let's wrap this up and come forward."

Rassier received that letter six years ago, but never responded. Then, last October, he ran into Patty outside his health club.

"She asked me if I could talk and my just reaction was well, yeah, of course. Twenty years is long enough to not talk. So, we sat down and talked for about an hour," said Dan.

He says Patty asked several times if Dan was responsible for Jacob's disappearance. He, said no.
 
Having no prior history doesn't mean much today, they are actually more dangerous than someone with a record. We're going on 25 years unsolved, it might be making some sense now to that regard.

So a person with no prior history(criminal record) is now more dangerous than someone with a criminal record?! Are you kidding me?! Your statement is ludicrous! Orwellian.

This is rehash of old news...is there something here of significance?

Yes, there certainly is because people were asking about the letter.

People are saying that PW does not consider DR a suspect.

Please read the last couple of pages and you will see the questions and also some of the statements made.

So, I provided some documentation to answer the statements as well as the questions.

The BKT killer did his gruesome work for years. He also had a huge gap in his killings.

The Green River killer did his for years as well.

In NO WAY am I saying that DR is like that.

I am merely replying to how an unidentified criminal can be extremely dangerous.

https://www.google.com/maps/place/K...2!3m1!1s0x52b4584ec334e987:0xe0d4822c2aa593fc

All off route 23, as is Paynesville and St Joseph. Maybe there is a connection.
 
From Immelman link above:

'Budget reductions have trimmed Rassier’s teaching assignment to teaching music half-time at St. Boniface and teaching band half-time at Rocori’s three elementary schools, St. Boniface and Sts. Peter and Paul Elementary School in Richmond.

He said the reductions to Rocori’s music program is a bigger concern than the spotlight that has been cast on him this summer.

“The kids are going to be hurt by the cuts. The whole issue of who is teaching the music class, in the end, the kids have lost no matter what I turn out to be,” Rassier said.'


What does that mean, 'the kids have lost no matter what I turn out to be?'
 
I was addressing the idea that DR never went into bathrooms or showers.

If he was a coach, well........ Could be

I was addressing the fact that St Joseph (where DR & Wetterlings live), Cold Spring, Rockville, Richmond and Paynesville are all almost directly on route 23.
 
I would like to see more "on the ground" photos to show you guys how the boys had just come over the peak of a hill when they reached the driveway. Further proof of knowing the area, knowing their return from the dead end they came from,

And whatever you will..
 
What make, model and color was the car that DR drove in 1989? What about the other vehicles on the property?
 
Where is this ? Could the Scouts have been camping there?
