First time I heard of that theory, Sasquatch. I wonder what the other theories are besides monk took him, monk accidentally hit him with car and he's in the water. I sometimes fantasize that he walked away...but I know it's wishful thinking.
I was fully invested in one person in particular as being a potential person of interest with regard to Jacob's disappearance, and it wasn't Dan. But I knew nothing about Heinrich and his history, and Stearns never put him front and center as a possible suspect, only Rassier. It's their fault Dan Rassier became an official person of interest and it's their fault the much of the public, possibly including the Wetterlings, bought into it. I have lost faith in my ability to fully understand any case because I've now learned that we only ever know a fraction of what others may know. I only press on with Joshua because I became involved as soon as he disappeared, and he looks just like one of my sons. I can't believe we may never find out the truth about what happened to him, and it pains me deeply to know how horribly his Mom, Dad, grandfather and family members have suffered. That's why we have to stick with it, because they don't have anyone else other than a handful of people who continue to actively study his case and search for him.
