11-year-old Jacob Wetterling was riding bicycles with his brother and a friend in St. Joseph, Minnesota on October 22, 1989 when they were approached by an unknown man with a gun. The man let the other boys go, but grabbed Jacob and walked away with him. Jacob has never been heard from again.

Oops, Tinner said he hunts the land where the trailer is. I was wondering if he knows the owner of the land.

Melvin Kammers owns 170 acres on the corner of 260th and Ranch Rd. And I should mention for those who are not familiar with the area, Ranch Road, is El Rancho Manana.

This photo was taken at El Rancho,

What is El Rancho Mana? How do you know the pic was taken there?
 
It's good to see such a sad case solved, but is there any particular reason why the blatant racial prejudice in this article(and its comments) needs to be seen by anyone on this forum?

I hope it's removed by the mods. I can't speak for anyone else, but it makes me sick.

Wow. Someone sent me the article and all I did was read it.

I did not look at anything else. Just the idea that it took all of those years for the technology to advance. I deleted the article. The source ! Wow. Reading the sidebars. Crazies!
 
Family member reported that underwear were found in Hollinger’s vehicle

What kind of vehicle was it? who found the underwear? LE?

Where does the info come from about fhe underwear?

If that is true, how did he get away with it?

He coukd claim someone put it into his car, but that would not be the only thing . There must have been fibers and whatever else they collected back in those days.

Did he have an ironclad alibi? It makes zero sense

Here is a really good article about the case that was just solved 33 years later using advances in technology.

It is interesting how LE kept working and working this case.

Hmm, if he didn't sexually assault her and she didn't put up a fight, I wonder what DNA he left on her body?
I wonder if they screwed up something with J's rape kit (or didn't do one?), because there should have been plenty of viable DNA there. The rape kit backlog is astounding though, so it wouldn't surprise me if they didn't test it or it got contaminated somehow.
 
I'll ask this question again...

Jared said that his perpetrator asked him for directions to the Kraemers. Well Jared was familiar with that family name, so maybe his misheard the name. Maybe the perpetrator asked for directions to another similarly spelled and similar sounding name??

Then there is the Red Carpet. I wonder if anyone in the area had a connection to the Red Carpet, such as a promotional agreement???
