Dan Rassier Lawsuit Against SCSO

HEY YOU! said:

I have to say this case has changed the way I think about the media. From the very beginning, I saw this story on A Current Affair and they painted the 'neighbor' whose parents were away as a shady figure. In fact, I have been obsessed with finding Jacob and who took him since that first story. As time wore on,I was increasingly convinced of the 'neighbor's' guilt. The media did not make any statements that would have pointed my opinion in any other direction. WE find out many, many years later that they basically had Heinrich in the very beginning...footprints, car and no evidence on the 'neighbor.' I am never going to be manipulated again, nor will I push hard against someone who appears guilty. We did not have all the evidence. I am so sorry for what Dan Rassier and his family had to endure all these years. He did not deserve any of our accusations. Since Jacob has been found and the real murderer is caught I have backed off on the other cases where I am SURE I know who did it. An innocent man should not have lost so many years of a peaceful life due to misinformation. Peace to Mr Rassier and his family and friends. I hope you win your case and continue your life in peace

So, while Sheriff Sanner was labeling Dan Rassier as "the only Person of Interest" and digging up his farm in view of local media, he was fully aware of the very strong case the FBI had put together against Heinrich.

It is easy to write it all off as simple incompetence. This never bothered the good folks of Stearns County who kept re-electing the guy in spite of the obvious shortcomings of his Dept. Still, I can't but wonder that there was some nefarious motive behind the targeting of Rassier. Perhaps, if there is a trial, it will all come our.

I wish more people on this site operated this way. The fact is that shows like A Current Affair and Nancy Grace are the dregs of the tabloid press. They should always be treated with suspicion. However, even more traditional news outlets will jump on this sensationalism bandwagon and are hesitant to question LE when they go off the rails.

Then, you have people who will pick apart and twist every utterance or action to "prove" a pet theory. They will call someone guilty for certain behavior, then go to another case and call someone guilty for behaving in the exact opposite manner. ("Why is X so quiet? I would talk to the media!" Followed by, "Why is Y giving so many interviews? What an attention hog who is trying to control the story!") In some cases, the "proof" will be directly contradictory as the case unfolds. ("Why is X so quiet? I would talk to the media!" Followed a few weeks later with, "Why is X giving so many interviews? What an attention hog who is trying to control the story!") Don't even get me started on how bogus I think "statement analysis" is, especially as practiced by random people on the Internet.

Then, we have those who will never question LE. Sometimes they are wrong, arrest the wrong people, and just flat out refuse to admit any shortcomings. I have seen high profile cases in my own community unfold this way, often on the basis of false confessions induced by LE.

It's time to treat all cases with more care. The innocent deserve better, and the guilty continue being a danger to the community.

I wonder why people go on this site because there are always theories with lots of different scenarios. What is the attraction ?

I always wonder why people get caught up on pet theories and won't let go, no matter how crazy, how little evidence or whom they hurt. I guess it makes them feel important, and they don't have to live with the consequences. It's twisted, especially since they are so sensitive about even being called on their reckless behavior when it's proven that their "theories" were wrong. They don't ever want to pay any consequences for what they do to innocent people. They don't even want to examine what they did wrong and fix it. Nope, they will move on to the next case and do the same thing to someone else. Makes me wish they or someone they love would experience the witch hunt someday, with the baseless theories and accusations. It's the only thing that will change the behavior.

This site is for discussing suspects ID'd by LE. Even his own mother thought he could have done it. Strange

Is DR's mother on record as saying she thought he could have done it, or are you taking LE's word for it that she said that to them?

Saying it's theoretically possible he could have done it is simply pure honesty on his mothers part. You seem to be reading into in a more suggestive way to fit a predisposition. Another example of McDonald stretching things to fit a need for a warrant.

It is written. Is it true? Is anything true then?

Cappuccino said:

That's a complete non answer. Where is it written and by whom?

human said:

Would you say that about your child? And you certainly believed it could have been DR. Your writings indicate that.

It will be interesting when the tips come out and seeing who is accusing whom.

Lots af accusations on here such as DR, Hollinger, Bahners, monks, Lou. More?

ELOCsoul said:

It completely depends on the context about what DR's mom said. It's a non-issue anyhow because it doesn't matter, Dan Rassier had nothing to do with it.

My writings did indicate that DR could have done it. Same with my writings about other suspects. The thing is, you have to work to eliminate people, and until they're eliminated theyre still in the pool of possible suspects. Locking onto any one perp is always a mistake and makes people look foolish, as we saw with certain social media writers.

I remember when our accusations of DR had the other side chasing down and publicly naming a weightlifting trainer/racer out of Texas. They were completely wrong.

You are correct on this and you'll never get enough of it. The sheriff handed us a suspect/poi DR in 2010. Until 2014 we didn't even know the boys had been sexually assaulted. Until 2015 we didn't see a perpetrators footprint next to Jacobs. So we speculated hard on DR and flat out accused him of it. Both Human and I had been around since the case began, we were tired of not having an answer, but a named guy. The mistake is on Sanner who wrangled DR into being a murderer when clear hard evidence said he didn't.
