Seems like bloggers and armchair wannabees are the ones that helped end this nightmare.
Thats not fair. LE found Heinrich first, bloggers hassled them about it much later, and then LE confirmed it.
According to Rick Thornton, the FBI agent in charge, out of respect for the family he isn't going to disclose any additional details that were not disclosed in court by the dirt bag. So appears that it's worse than what we know but the family knows. How much worse could it get.
My guess - got bobcat @45.388167, -94.685600 and used it @45.387523, -94.692706
Trees at that location are map erased after 2010.
There's also a large "HEART" feature present (satellite/aerial view) in the corner of HWY 33/old23.
Do you have a link to where Rick Thornton said that? Does that mean that he censored is account in court?
"Another warrant, obtained to search the Paynesville farm where Jacob's remains were found, indicates that an unnamed "source of information," who had access to Heinrich since he was taken into federal custody last year on child *advertiser censored* charges, told investigators that Heinrich had confessed to killing Jacob. That information was the catalyst for plea negotiations that led to the recovery of Jacob's remains. That "source of information" was not identified in the search warrants."
From SC times article ... so DH told someone since being in jail he did it.
The story of the second burial makes no sense, The jacket was found with animal bones. The rest was found like 15 feet away, I doubt if an animal dug him up and covered up the hole. What is this story all about and why?
I have a feeling it was his own sick joke. Or maybe it just came to me... the jacket wasn't added till much later and he kept it as a trophy? Then when he possibly got worried or paranoid he went back to put the jacket with the remains, came across bones yet again as in the first gravesite and freaked out burying what he thought was his remains but was actually an animal that had passed away. So many questions after the confession. I don't see most of it as true or at least he left out a lot of details. If this was the case for example they found someway to tie the jacket to his home with forensics... would that in fact destroy the plea agreement and he could be charged with the murder?

I don't have a link but I heard him say it during an interview he gave the same day as my post. When asked about further details regarding the assault, he said " Other than what DH said in court, out of respect for the Wetterlings, I'm not going to go into that" Those additional details can be found if someone wants to find them. I'm sure if DH really wanted to confess to them in court, he would have been allowed, but he didn't and the prosecution didn't need that additional information disclosed because what he did say was bad enough.
Is it possible that Jacob thought that the monster was an undercover cop with a gun and that's why he asked "what did I do wrong"? I am thinking that a child, having
watched movies and tv, thinking that someone with a gun and handcuffs might be an undercover cop? Who knows what a person would be thinking as I
believed up to that point everything must have seemed like it was in fast motion. Possibly.
That is, before Jacob realized he was with a monster. Just a thought.
Maybe, but I'm sure even an 11 year old wouldn't expect an undercover cop to be wearing a black mask over his face. More likely Jacob couldn't fathom why anyone would be doing something like this unless he had done something to anger him. He was searching for a way to appease the abductor--exerting what little control he had over the situation.
As an aside, I wonder if Heinrich had a web presence at all. He had a computer and got images off the web, but did he participate in any forums, underground or otherwise? It may be impossible to find out but I suspect that abductors and pedophiles anonymously brag about their exploits on some dark corner of the internet.
