I should be sleeping, but I got frustrated searching the usual stuff online and remembered my ancestry.com acct, which gives me online access to public records. These are all available public records. I would link them if I could but you have to be ancestry.com member to view. Regardless, I will work on references.
2 story lines that I think are very important to the case...hopefully LE knows about these already, but I'm sharing here now. First, Tommy and David are not the only brothers DJH has. Second, DJH's stepfather ERG was married at least 6 times in MN & SD and potentially more under the name REG in CA, WA, & FL. I will keep searching to see if I can verify the latter.
I'll start with the other brother. Records show 4 sons born to HJH and COB (later referred to as COBG after her 2nd marriage. Note COB did not take the name COBH, and there is no record of a marriage to HJH, but there are divorce records. Perhaps it was a common law marriage? DAH (DJH's older brother, not the other DAH that has been talked about in this forum) was born 13 Oct1956. Next came our POI, DJH born 21 Mar 1963. Then the mystery brother, TJH born 16 Jun1965. Last was TLH, born 15Feb1972.
What happened to TJH? Well, I didn't have to look too far. It appears he lives in Bellingham, Big Stone County, MN, with his wife CLMH (who he married on 26 Nov1988) and his sons, with whom he owns a Ready-Mix concrete company. He appears to be an upstanding member of the community, both as a business owner and a school board member. It is curious why he was not listed in his fathers obituary. I've not been able to find an obituary for his mother, COBH. She died 8Jan2007.
Danny Heinrich's stepfather, ERG (b 10 Jan 1947) had quite a busy life, married at least 6 times.
ERG's wives:
#1 VM (b abt. 1950) m 2Mar1968 in MN, div 14Jun1973 Hennepin Co., MN
#2 RMA (b abt. 1955) m 9Sep1972 Day Co., SD, div 5Jun1974 Kandiyohi Co., MN
#3 SMW (b 1943) m 14May1977 Hennepin Co., MN, div 29Nov 1978 Hennepin Co., MN
#4 MEL (b 1947) m 13Oct1979 Hennepin Co., MN, div 1Dec1982 Dakota Co., MN
#5 BW (b 1947) m 21Nov1981 Codington Co., SD, div ?
#6 COBG (Danny Heinrich's mother) (b 2 May1937) m 20Mar1989, div 13 Nov 1991 (died 8Jan2007)
ERG died 1Jan2005. His last residence was Deer Lodge, MT. He would have been just shy of his 58th birthday.
