MN - Jacob Wetterling, 11, St. Joseph, 22 Oct 1989 - #11

[ELOCsoul]

if you look at the court site, DAH was arrested in April of 1988 for several offenses (2nd DWI, aggravated violations, refusal to comply, 5th degree assault, marijuana poss and driving after revocation). He was convicted of 2 violations, 4 were dismissed. Jury trial in May and if I am reading it right, convicted to 360 days in jail. At the time of his arrest in 1988, he was living in Hawick, MN (a township between New London and Paynesville).

So I wonder when Hart was released. The timing of his incarceration has always been intriguing with respect to the starting and stopping of the assaults.

it looks like DAH was also arrested in Oct 1987 and pleaded guilty in Feb 1988. Not sure if he was confined during the waiting period or not. I wish I could understand the court records better. He was sentenced to 6 months in jail. It looks like he was in jail from Oct 1987 and out around June 1989.

Joy's blog has a victims in the spring, summer and Sept of 1987. She said on the show 1988 had nothing, but 1989 had another victim? Incident #11 was summer of 1989.

DAH does fit the timeline and the FBI profile.

No father listed in the mother's obit.

The news article listed by Sher says he started drinking at age 6 and went into care at age 9. Just wow.

No brother is listed in the obit.

He had a sister. They were removed from their mother at an early age, due to malnutrition.

sasquatch, alcohol is liquid courage for most people. That is when they act out the things they only think about when sober.

 

[shergal]

Right. And according to the records, DAH got his driver's license reinstated in July 1989...3 months before Jacob's abduction

So, wait.. If he was in jail from May 1988 to May 1989 (360 days) he would have been in jail when Jared's abduction took place in Jan/Feb of 1989.

I don't see that he was in jail during that time. I only see that he had his license revoked during that time

DAH would drive without his license, imo. Does DAH have a low raspy voice?

Dont worry I've been there.

Yes, it appears he was n jail for Jared

He has been drinking since age 6.

He had malnutrition.

There is NO way he did not have brain damage. No way

Hmm, late for an appointment at the Red Carpet. That could have been brain damage talking.

Trial in May, 1988, convicted for 360 days. Which would take him to May 1989. Unless he got time off for good behavior or something, he was in jail when Jared was abducted.

He probably got out early for good behavior etc. Nobody does their full sentences it seems.

 

[bessie]

Did he remain incarcerated while awaiting trial? If so, it would count as time served in addition to time accrued for good behavior, if he had any.

Even if he got time off for good behavior, I bet he would be in jail in Jan.

If you read his reports, though, it does not seem like he would have good behavior. He seems to be noncompliant.

Whatever the case may be, for some reason, LE dismissed him for Jacob. He certainly sounds like an excellent choice for a perp.

If LE is so corrupt as to avoid the Catholic church, then certainly DAH would have been an excellent scape goat.

But he isn't the chosen one.

Maybe it's time to once again look outside the box.

The Hunt, at best, made people aware of JW's unsolved abduction. Without solid evidence, which there really is none, there's no case, no indictment. Walsh is not about to name anyone - too much chance of a lawsuit, but is there really anyone to name?

It would be interesting to talk to one of the original FBI agents on the case because I'm aware they originally had a different perspective than local involvement. One investigator had the last name of Wiley. He moved from MN years ago and may be retired or may be unwilling to discuss anything, but one never knows.

What I see in the case is a lot of reasons for local exclusions - no solid evidence at the Rassier farm, DAH in jail, maybe or maybe not a Jared connection. Using another analogy, what if we cannot see the forest for the trees? Let us remember there was no international border security like today with Canada nor was there security at local private airports. The interstate was also very close.

i've always been intrigued with a perp approaching a group of kids. Usually, they look for a person alone. I've also never come to terms with the abductor asking ages, then taking the oldest. Why not the youngest, which would seem easier to control?

Like Bessie said if he already spent time in jail while awaiting trial that would count towards his sentence. Even if he reported to jail on July 1st, it's possible after six months he was let out in December. The location of Hawick is right there in the middle of this. The Chevy Celebrity could have been borrowed and maybe DAH stole that portable police scanner. The assaults stopped when DAH had been incarcerated.

It may be getting old for some of you, but we do have a single person named in this case in 2009, his name is DR.

 

[Sasquatch321]

Jareds perp showed him the portable police scanner and said "do you like this?" as if he's still amazed by it himself, it's stolen, imo.

Perps have age preference for their perversions. Since there were two 11 year old's, then the last one was Jacob. Luck of the nigtmare.
