Dan Rassier: Former POI **Wrongly accused**

[cGorg]

The cedar chest and remnant of blood found was discussed by DR on the KSTP interview. It is in the Media links of WS but I couldn't get the link to work. The interview was readily accessible at one time, then not so much, then shergal found it again. Sorry, I don't have the link but am certain that is where it was discussed. Interview conducted by Cory Kampschroer.

I transcribed parts of that interview but not much on the blood. I only noted that they found blood on the cedar chest. I do not recall if found by bloodhounds or by cadeaver dogs. In any case, if the blood were Jacob's, it would have seen DNA results by now, IMO.

I began transcribing it myself but never finished it. I don't remember any reference in this interview regarding cadaver dogs.

I don't know if it specifically said what kind of dogs.

Still no cadaver hit

I guess that lab is busy....what's it been 20 + years?

Six years and no answer for DR or the public yet. We are to believe that the lab isn't finished yet.

The blood could easily be from any Rassier family members who have touched or moved the chest. For all we know, the chest could be a hundred years old. If that's what DR accusers need to rely on it's painfully obvious that their grasping at straws.

Exclusive New Details in the Jacob Wetterling Abduction Case

By Cory Kampschroer
KSTP.com
September 28, 2010

Stearns County Sheriff John Sanner said today tests done at the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension have not uncovered any new substantial leads in the case, but the case remains under investigation.

Investigators seized several items during this summer’s search of the rural 158-acre St. Joseph farm.

Just as soon as law enforcement officials starting digging up the farm belonging to Daniel Rassier’s parents, Bob and Rita Rassier, we began uncovering new facts about the investigation.

The Stearns County Sheriff has confirmed Daniel Rassier is a person of interest in the Jacob Wetterling abduction. However, Rassier told KSTP.com he had nothing to do with the abduction of Jacob Wetterling.

While police are not revealing exactly what was taken from the property during the two day search that started June 30th, sources have told KSTP.com exactly what was seized.

During the search of the outbuildings and property, investigators removed six truck loads of dirt and ash.

The dirt and ash was taken to a nearby public works building, where investigators sifted through it looking for any evidence in connection with the Jacob Wetterling abduction.

KSTP.com has learned investigators did recover clothing articles and animal bones in the dirt and ash taken from the farm. Some of those items were sent to the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension lab for testing.

Sources tell KSTP.com, investigators removed several items from the farm, including a lawn chair, the base of a patio umbrella stand and a cedar chest. The items had been stored in an area above a four stall garage on the Rassier property.

We have also learned investigators seized a box from Daniel Rassier’s bedroom containing news clippings and articles about the Jacob Wetterling abduction. That box also contained part of Rassier’s journal.

Sources have confirmed to KSTP.com, during this summer’s two-day search, investigators did not have a search warrant for the farm house, but rather just for the outbuildings and property. However, during that first day of the search investigators found enough evidence to go back to a judge and get a warrant for the farm house itself.

This is the third time the Rassier family farm has been searched, the first was immediately after the abduction, the second time was 6 years ago when investigators examined Daniel Rassier’s computer.

Sources also confirm part of the reason why the farm was searched again this summer, was because new investigators took on the case and discovered evidence that had not been examined before. Another reason why investigators converged on the farm this summer is because of advances in technology.

The K-9 searching the Rassier farm was flown to St. Joseph from Louisiana. The K-9 works very closely with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

We have also learned about a meeting between Daniel Rassier and Patty Wetterling within the past 10-months. Sources tell KSTP.com Wetterling requested a meeting with Daniel Rassier and asked him if he abducted Jacob.

Wetterling also asked Rassier if he had been playing a joke on the three boys and the joke went too far. During the meeting, Rassier told Wetterling what he saw the night Jacob went missing and again told her he had nothing to do with her son’s disappearance. …

It has to be six years old. Do you want a newer story?

So much is gone from the net. That link comes from the Immelman blog, Maybe he has more info on it

 

[nmogren]

Rassier is the one who said there is blood on the chest.

Human so there is no cadaver hit mentioned in local news? I know on the Kesse thread the allegations from the blog are not allowed to be posted.

I have several newspaper articles from that time period. I will look them over and report back what I find.

On a side note...the "gag order" comes up here quite often. It's not real meaningful, just means that the warrants are sealed. The minute the subject would become charged with a crime, the warrant gets unsealed. Also, remember that the St Cloud times challenged the validity of the gag order via their editorial review board.

Everything behind the gag order means nothing and Rassier is no longer a valid POI. Just catching up with you guys. I call for the complete takedown of this thread since this man is now cleared. Lets focus directly on Heinrich.

 

[Red Viewfinder]

What other kind of dogs would they have been?

 

[ELOCsoul]

We've exhausted anything we can do here. I call for the closure of the thread or a mutual agreement among us to move on.

LOL, I think you may be the only holdout!

The article is from KSTP but no longer can it be accessed. It is however on Immelman. He has it on his blog,

Why do people think LE took the items they did such as the umbrella stand. Very weird.

Sher has posted not too long ago on here about DR talking about the blood on the chest. It is in her photobucket as well.

Maybe someone else wants to research and post but it seems whatever is linked is dissed.

 

[ELOCsoul]

I went through all the articles I have from the beginning of the farm dig, June 30, 2010, thru to September 2010, when it was announced no evidence had been found during the search (but items were still being tested). The strongest mention of the dogs described them as canine resources, or a K-9 unit. The truck from Louisiana was labeled as a Search and Rescue unit.

I scanned through the book too, and I do not mention cadaver dogs. If I had seen that specified in print or a video, I expect that I would have mentioned in the book. If it were mentioned by Rassier in the videotaped interview previously referenced, I likely would have taken it with a grain of salt.

Rassier did state that he thought investigators had searched his property in 2010 because of what he called "new canine resources."
