I think the TJH that you are referencing in the Bellingham area is maybe not related to the POI's family. It looks like the spelling of the last name is off by one letter. I've seen several references to it; it looks like their business might be located in Canby, MN now. The POI's parents...

This is going to be a dumb question, but before DNA tests came into being, what would constitute evidence sufficient enough that it would be worth it to charge someone? We know that DJH was arrested on February 9, 1990 for the kidnapping and assault of JS, but ultimately never charged. On that...

That's a great question. In that article about AL that you linked to, he says that investigators have never contacted him to ask him anything about DJH. That's so odd, now that we know how much they actually knew about him. (emphasis is mine)

Sadly, I think you might be right. At least he'll be in jail (I assume!), but it's just so unfair. I keep hoping that someone close to him will come forward with that one crucial memory or piece of evidence. A brother, or maybe even something that one of his parents might have said to someone...

The warrant says that his last day at Fingerhut was 10/8/89, and he started at Northstar Mailing in St. Cloud on 11/12/89. I think someone earlier in this thread had tried to map out his employment history as well as possible, so there may be more information on how long he stayed at Northstar...

And additional information given to Joy from Dan shows that, even if he didn't report it to LE that very night (and maybe he did), he did tell a reporter from the St. Cloud Times the next day: I haven't been able to find an archive of the St. Cloud Times, so don't know for sure if or when...

I'm unclear as to when the police heard that Dan had seen a small blue car that night. The memory of a passenger (child or woman) in the passenger seat is what was uncovered via hypnosis, but Dan told a St. Cloud newspaper reporter the day after the abduction about both cars that he had seen...

Something else I found interesting was that the obituary of DJH's father was really stark...no services to be held (is that common?), no "beloved father of..." or anything that would indicate that he would be missed. Basically just a list of where he worked and "survivors". Could be that the...

That's the information I found, too. It looks like she was remarried in May of 1989, which is interesting timing. I found one source that indicates the marriage was short-lived, ending in 1991. Looks like she kept that marriage's last name till the end of her life. I'm not sure what is OK to...
