The search warrants will NOT be made public, as if they were, it could interfere in the investigation in the disappearance of Jacob Wetterling.
It will be several weeks before the forensic analysis of items retrieved from the farm is complete; the specific items were not described.
Elsewise, nothing else seems to have been offerred by the LEOs.
Thanks. I’ve been reading up on the case since yesterday. The store is right at 1 mile from their house but it’s no longer a store. Google street view has the sign blurred and I haven’t looked to see what it is today.
No one seems to know where the sketches of the man originated but it wasn’t from the boys. From what I gather, they may have come from witnesses at the convenience store or from a prior abduction in the area 9 months before which might be linked somehow.
From the video link I posted above, it’s from back in 2004. If the neighbor’s voice is a true recording and not computer mangled, he has a deep voice. The boys reported the abductor had a deep voice. And who doesn’t bother to find out why there’s police on their property and helicopters flying over and half the county driving by? Very strange dude.
This link has a bit more info from what happened that night:
Patty says they decided AT THE LAST MINUTE to go to a friend’s party. Ok, so that means a possible stalker wouldn’t have known this plan although he might have jumped on the possibility seeing the parents leave the children home alone and then the boys later rode their bikes on the road alone if he was lurking around the house.
But here’s what I don’t understand. Oct. 22, 1989 was a Sunday. There are no holidays for Monday, the 23rd, so why was the family out and about on a school night??? Parents going out for a party on a Sunday night (who schedules Sunday night parties?) when they have kids that need to be in bed and they have school and work the next day? The oldest girl is at a sleepover??? Jacob’s friend is allowed to go to their house so his parents weren’t worried about school the next day either. Then they’re allowed to go rent a movie at 9 pm so the Wetterlings knew the kids would be up late watching the movie until after 11 pm. Yes, the kids did attend school because the dad made mention of that. So, what am I missing here?
Before Mr. and Mrs. Wetterling left, Patty order pizza for the kids. The drive to the party was about a half hour so the pizza delivery guy/gal would have been delivering the pizza about the time the parents called back home with the friends’ phone number. I wonder if the pizza had been delivered or not and by whom and did the police ever interview the delivery person and his/her co-workers?
About the car. That was supposedly cleared up by a guy who has recently come forward to say he had heard about the incident on his scanner. It was nearby, so he drove over to the scene. He was in his early twenties at the time. He said the police never questioned him. He said he had seen the bikes by the road. However, it seems that Aaron (Jacob’s friend) was riding a scooter so that is different from most reports. Does anyone know what kind of scooter?
I have two theories: One, someone was stalking (for whatever reason) around the home and knew the kids were alone and the boys being out on the road was a prime opportunity. Or two, the neighbor did it and waited for them to come back by his place on their way home. Either way, I don’t believe it was an outsider to the community.
Ok, so this says Monday was a school holiday. Columbus Day would have been like the week before so what’s this holiday?
