Still not a hint of this thing surfacing.

Apparently there might be perpetrator DNA to work on using forensic genealogy. This would be the best (only?) hope of solving the case.

What about the Las Cruces bowling alley murders? I remember seeing this profiled on U.M. and AMW at the time. It angers me that it was never solved. Las Cruces bowling alley massacre - Wikipedia

Aha, here's a Facebook post from the daughter of the Toronto Star writer I mentioned above. I was correct in remembering that she accused her father of killing Yvonne Leroux. She was evidently wrong about Leroux, but I wonder how much truth there is to her other accusations (no need to log in...

So glad this case has been resolved, even though it is rather anticlimactic, what with the perp long dead, and Yvonne's parents dead as well. I think the woman who claimed her father - who was a scribe for the Toronto Star and Sun - was a serial rapist and killer of young women and girls...

I'm losing all hope of the documentary ever seeing the light of day. Work started on it when Jacob's remains were found, and here we are seven years later.

Anyone have a clue why this is taking so long to make?

Anyone have a line on when the documentary might see the light of day?

Ah, I understand. No, my thought was whether it would be an actual film or an episode of 48 Hours or 20/20, or something like that, but you have cleared that up.

Do you know if it will be a theatrical release, or shown on TV?

I wonder if there will ever be an exhaustive documentary made on this case. I would like to see that. Somehow, as someone who was aware of the Wetterling case from the beginning, and found it almost personally agonizing, I feel there's strangely a kind of lack of resolution. The family is...

Maybe you're confusing it with the case of Nicole Morin, who left her Etobicoke apartment to go swimming with a friend in 1985, and hasn't been seen since. There's also Andrea Atkinson, who disappeared from her east Toronto apartment building in October, 1990. Her body was later found in the...

Remind me why the DNA match took so long. I know DNA testing was generally not being used by law enforcement in the States in 1989 (it was used for the first time in Britain in 1987, in the case of Colin Pitchfork), but why did it take until 2015 for a match to be made? Sophisticated DNA...
