Squad cars and other vehicles are parked on the Robert and Rita Rassier farm near where Jacob Wetterling was abducted in 1989 in St. Joseph, Minn., Wednesday.
Now it is so frequent that it's not so shocking as when Jacob disappeared.
Kind of scary (and downright SLOPPY) if THIS is the biggest search in 20 years, they should searched the last place he was seen decades ago.
Supposedly there's a search warrant and they aren't allowed to discuss it, but I found this over at Websleuths:
"Authorities involved in the investigation said the search came after two young agents working the case took a fresh look at the file.
"'There were no new tips that sparked the search, no nothing, just young cops looking at the file and they said 'Maybe we should go take a look,' " said an official familiar with developments.
"Asked if the agents were merely working off a hunch, the official said, 'Yeah.'"
The video is a must see. It explains the car and how so much was probably missed at the time. More importantly, watch until the very end and hear what the suspect says... it’ll give you chills....
