Here are a few of the items I'm most looking forward to learning more about when all the investigative files are released, in no particular order:
1. Will tips to the FBI be included in the release, or just those made to Stearns County?
2. What prompted investigators to locate Danny Heinrich's gun in Morrison County?
3. Who is the FBI agent (from Oklahoma, I'm hearing) that came forward in fall 2014 and helped refocus the investigation back onto Danny Heinrich, just as the FBI was taking the cases over from SCSO? Did he/she work the case back in 1989/1990?
4. Did Stearns County truly forget about Danny Heinrich, or simply did they believe that he did not commit the crimes against Jared and Jacob?
5. What led Sheriff Sanner to break the link between Jared's and Jacob's cases in 2004? (And I don't mean Kevin, because that story about his coming forward and changing the direction of the investigation is mighty thin).
6. Did the FBI know about the Paynesville cases back in 1989? I'm on the opinion that they did, but I know that DR's lawyer contends they did not.
7. When Patty spoke at the Paynesville area schools, I believe it was twice, within a few months of the abduction - was the FBI or Stearns monitoring those speaking events? It would be classic FBI tactic to do so.
8. Do investigators believe that Heinrich was the man involved in the attempted abduction of Andrew Newton in July 1989, in St. Joseph Township?
9. Did investigators question Heinrich after Jared's abduction and assault, and before Jacob's?
10. Did SCSO and BCA really think that Duane Hart was a prime suspect in 2013/2014?
11. When and how did Heinrich come onto investigators' radar after Jacob was abducted?
I know there are more, but these are the ones topping my mind today.
