it must be hell to go through this all the time.

Yeah, it seems like every couple of years, somebody phones in a hot tip and everybody gets their hopes up. I really wish that this ends with this investigation. But, I'm thinking that this just might be another cold trail, because of the close proximity of the farm to the Wetterling's. The kids that were with Jacob when he was abducted gave a pretty good description of the man and a sketch was widely circulated. How could this guy hide in plain sight for twenty years???
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.

I remember when this happened. Two young paper boys in my area also disappeared. It seemed like every day somebody was kidnapping and murdering young boys. Johnny Gosch also disappeared during that time. It destroyed his parents.
Now it is so frequent that it's not so shocking as when Jacob disappeared.

Evidentally in 2004, they suddenly discovered that the car witnessed at the scene was owned by a local who is NOT a suspect or a person of interest, and so they RE-started the investigation on the basis of who was ON FOOT in the area who could have abducted Jacob.
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:
TEXT-only Printable Version::Websleuths Crime Sleuthing Community - MN MN - Jacob Wetterling, 11, St. Joseph, 1989
"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.'"

Seized items, dirt to be processed in Wetterling case Two weeks after authorities dug up a St. Joseph Township farm as part of the 21-year investigation into the abduction of Jacob Wetterling, they continue to study items found there.
Investigators took six truckloads of dirt and other items from the farm at 29748-91st Ave. in St. Joseph Township during a two-day search.

Sanner said workers will begin processing the soil in the "near future," Sanner said. Other items have already been sent to the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension lab for analysis......
