Quite a list. Why are parents sending their kids to this school? If it were state run, you can bet the school would be closed! So, how can the Catholic Church with a straight face continue to provide a university education?

Not sure. Parishioners still attend mass given by none other than #22 on the list. If parents of students stopped paying money to put their children in harm's way, and parishioners of the St. Joseph Catholic Church stopped filling the plates during mass, things would change quickly!

I've written a draft chapter for a book due in 2018. Message me with an email address and I'll happily share it with anyone interested. (I double checked this morning, I got it right on no glasses, as Sasquatch correctly pointed out earlier).

Am I too late to ask you to share it with me?

The tuition at St. John’s is around $40,000 a year

Furthermore, Jacob isn’t the only young male to have gone missing from the area. On Nov. 9-10, 2002, St. John’s University student Joshua Guimond vanished without a trace from the college campus, approximately 6 miles distant from theWetterling abduction site. He has never been found.

According to FBI statistics, there are approximately 50 serial killers at large at any one time in the United States. Assuming, as a rule of thumb, that approximately 10 percent of those offenders are homosexuals targeting male victims, a rough estimate of the number of such offenders on the loose is five. Given the low population density of rural Stearns County where Jacob and Josh disappeared, it’s statistically improbable that two different offenders could be responsible.

This piece was written up before we found Jacob Wetterling or knew his abductor. Now we know who the abductor was but if he has been questioned about this case is still up in the air.

LE and The FBI didn't and weren't going to find Jacob Wetterling. The only thing that did find him was the communities pressure of continually talking about the case. It demanded the evidence they never showed us, the footprint and tire tracks in the sand. Without community pressure nothing more would have come out, it would have been forgotten, and Dan Rassier would still be the number one suspect today. This one too, is on us to solve.

On April 28, 2003 — five months after Josh’s disappearance — the Stearns County Sheriff’s Department released information that it “received a call from an individual stating that they were driving off campus, just after midnight, on the night Joshua Guimond disappeared*

why was this evidence protected for five months? or why was this tip submitted five months later?

But we don`t know whether Jacob`s murderer was serial killer, and we don`t know whether Joshua was murdered, period. There are many murderers in any given area; at the time that number (fifty) was thrown out there, someone had to commit three murders in order to be considered a serial killer. Perps are now classified as serial killers after only two murders, so the estimate of fifty should probably be increased. (I suspect it was low to begin with.)

Could you provide a little more context? Who was driving off campus? Why is it relevant?

I apologize if this has been addressed in the thread, but is there any evidence that Joshua might have been a homosexual?

I'm reading I Will Find You by Joe Kenda, 20 yr, now retired Colorado Springs detective. He tells of a case where the culprit was accused of killing a woman and two small children (violently) but found not guilty by a jury when there was lots of evidence pointing to guilt. The accused: previously convicted of sexual assault, served years in prison, convinced everyone he had found Jesus and had been accepted into a Colorado Springs bible college. After the trial, a jury member talked to the detective. Her rational for the not guilty verdict? "Well, he wouldn't have invoked the name of our Lord if he was responsible..., she said.

So, we have reasons why St. John's is still around: denial, refusal to believe facts, and religion. WAKE UP, PEOPLE.

FACT: A young man disappeared from the school grounds never to be seen again. FACT: The school has many religious figures associated with sexual misconduct!

"Hey, you need a ride?"

This thought has been going on in my mind lately. It was cold, he was without a coat. Someone driving or someone in the parking lot offers him warmth or a ride but didn't let him go. But who?

Yeah no problem

April 28, 2003 — five months after Josh’s disappearance — the Stearns County Sheriff’s Department released information that it “received a call from an individual stating that they were driving off campus, just after midnight, on the night Joshua Guimond disappeared and that they saw someone jogging towards campus on County Road 159 wearing bright colored jogging clothing.”

Coincidentally, Wetterling suspect Dan Rassier is an avid road runner and one of his routes passes through the St. John’s campus (from the Rassier farm through St. Joseph on Co Hwy 2 to St. John’s University along Co Rd 51 and back to St. Joseph past the Abbey Church, St. John’s Prep School, the I-94 footbridge, and Hwy 75).

In a further coincidence, Josh played the euphonium and did some tutoring in brass instruments, which happens to be Rassier’s teaching specialty. It’s important that law enforcement authorities account for Rassier’s whereabouts on the night of Josh’s disappearance. If he is cleared in the Guimond investigation, it’s arguably less likely that he had any involvement in Jacob’s kidnapping

Have you not kept up with the Jacob Wetterling case? We now know that Jacob was murdered by Danny Heinrich, not Dan Rassier. (I never considered Rassier I viable suspect.) Heinrich confessed and led authorities to Jacob Wetterling's body.

If you never considered Dan a viable suspect based on how LE portrayed him and how he was written up like this then my hat truly goes off to you. Now here is a better thought, are people doing to the monks what they did to Rassier?

There was never any evidence against Rassier; I'm glad he filed a lawsuit against investigators. Unfortunately, there are some very uncritical people in law enforcement. Rassier was targeted for harassment because he lived near the crime scene and because he was an unmarried man who lived with his parents.

The situation is a little different with the monks in that no particular monk has been targeted by LE. You've stated that some of the monks are known sex offenders; it would be reasonable for LE to establish whether any of those particular monks have a specific connection Joshua's disappearance. However, I personally doubt that Joshua was forcibly abducted. I can more easily see a situation in which he was with another male consensually and died of alcohol poisoning or from an accident (or even from domestic violence). That's a scenario that might be covered up by a monk or any other gay member of the community. A while back, I saw an interview with a Catholic priest or bishop who estimated that 65% of Catholic priests are gay; the percentage who are sex offenders is probably very small by comparison.

I'm not sure if any of you are familiar with the St John's campus, but it houses prep students, Guests, visiting monks, the SJA monks, college students, School of Theology,and at east one faculty person or monk who resides in the various dorms. NO ONE has any idea what all of these people are doing at a given time. Think of it like a neighborhood or village. Folks may be familiar just in passing with others, but no one knows everyone on the campus. Josh was perhaps better known than some students, because of his political interests and activities. Just like any village, good folks and not so good folks. Hard to know the difference sometimes.

St Johns is like nothing else I've seen in these modern times. In other related examples the person is expelled or the empire is shut down. Despite over 100 accused monks, they continue on like nothing is wrong.

You've mentioned accusations, but how many of the monks actually have convictions for sex offenses?

Convictions.... "0". That's due to a few reasons.
1.) St. John's conducts their own investigations. Which I don't understand how, or why that's allowed.
2.) Severe conflicts of interests with entities within the Stearns County Sheriff's Office, as well as the Stearns County Attorney's Office.
3.) Settlements from lawsuits don't change anything other than the plaintiffs bank account.

And it's not called a "treasure chest" Sas.... they call it the satchel. Their saying when a lawsuit comes is "Holen Sie das Schultasche".
