It seems odd these details of the 3 suspects have never been released before.
"1996
- May 16: Search warrants authorities thought were sealed are released to the public. The warrants reveal three potential suspects authorities considered early in the investigation:
A then-60-year-old St. Joseph-area man who confessed to the kidnapping one month after it occurred. The man was later eliminated and moved to a nursing home because he suffered from Alzheimer's disease.
A St. Cloud State University student who was committed to a mental institution one week after Jacob's abduction. The man later was eliminated as a suspect and killed himself in another state.
A Paynesville-area man who fit the description of a man suspected of abducting and sexually assaulting a Cold Spring boy. Authorities searched his home three months after the abduction. Police then said that the man wasn't a top suspect in the abduction, but at least one paragraph was blocked out in the search warrant."
No word on if they are still looking at this Paynesville, MN man??
