Maybe they feel they have to come on and give information because Joy's silliness has led people down some ridiculous paths that are detrimental.
 
Interesting story, is this something you just remember reading in the newspaper or is there a link?

It's a combination of research, putting information out there and the right person finding it and coming forward.

Maybe the investigation got too big, too quickly, and the answer was quite simple
 
If the press conference turns out to be local only, please let us know what was said. Thanks again!!
 
You can listen live to our local radio station online here:

I just have it open in a smaller second window, lots of ads, but if the news conference is live, they will have it.
 
Short blurb was just on channel 5 (ABC). (Not the news conference, just the same story they had on last night.) Interviewing Alison Feigh and talking about how she was instrumental in raising awareness to generate new tips. Alison went to school with Jacob and runs the Jacob Wetterling Center.
 
I'm anxiously awaiting the news conference, but have a feeling it is not going to give us much more info (if any). Fingers crossed, though!
 
The whole thing is on kare11 online live.

Just an announcement and interview/summary of the initiative to bring more awareness to the case. Patty and Jerry spoke, Sheriff Sanner spoke and some other folks spoke-people who donated the billboards.

I was really hoping for some news maybe from one of the tips coming from The Hunt. Surely something will break soon. This much attention after 25 years has to bring something new
 
In winter 1990, the man was leaving a store in northern Minnesota when he noticed a sketch in the window. He turned to his wife and said "Why is there a sketch of Xxxxx Xxxx in the window?" Then he got a closer look at the poster and saw that the man was wanted in connection to Jacob's kidnapping.

The man called the FBI with that information, and told them of a incident he had with Xxxx 25 years earlier.

Sorry, can't say names.

Can you post the names with this story on fb?
 
After all these years, surely the answer cannot be as simple as someone with a four-letter last name (Xxxx)! Unbelieveable! Preposterous!!

The answer MUST be more complicated than that. It HAS to be! The answer must involve some combination of the following:

Human bone smell
Tire tracks (or lack thereof)
Foot prints (or lack thereof)
The initials “D” and “R”
Cadaver dogs
Polka musicians
Binary code
Blood traces
Sirens and helicopters (or lack thereof)
Boxes of band instruments
Burn pits and wood piles
Kevin’s girlfriend
Cadaver smell
Priests in airplanes
ATVs and horses
The initials “D” and “R”
Escape via hovercraft
A small oak chest
A record collection
Kay’s Kitchen
Del-Win Ballroom
Slush
The Polka Padre
Soil compaction
Music lessons
Vernon Seitz
Jogging routes
The initials “D” and “R”
Flashlights
Police package edition vehicles and Taxis
Solitary Truth Sleuth
Indication in the dirt of exhaust blowing it back
“Best Fit” analysis
The second light pole
Bed wetting
Landy Packing
A former bail bondswoman
Louis K.
Two parallel ruts with a raised area right down the middle
Camp Caribou
The 1996 Bahner tapes
Empty farm buildings
Nancy Grace
Trish Van Pilsum
Esme Murphy
John Walsh
Luminol
The initials “D” and “R”
Half-way houses


A simple answer simply will not do!

Now, please, get back to digging in the dirt for answers in that farmer's driveway!

The good of this story is that the FBI received the lead. The person suspected in this story has not been named a poi.

No, but he was a suspect from the beginning but was cast aside due to his known MO. It's sad that.even back in 1964 police were telling people to stay away from him.

One correction, the retaliatory Bahner tapes were from 1997.
 
LOL police package edition vehicles and taxis! Good memory buddy.

Is the person that resembled the sketch someone that we have discussed on here before? Or is this a brand-new name?
 
“Adults tend to believe what they want or need to believe. In a highly emotional case like a long-term child abduction, even experienced investigators can become gullible “believers” of almost anything. The emotion of these cases also causes some investigators to develop their own theories about the abduction and refuse to change them when the evidence indicates otherwise.”

Child Molesters Who Abduct: Summary of the Case in Point Series, March 1995, Edited by Kenneth V. Lanning and Ann Wolbert Burgess. (emphasis added)


Ask yourself: As an “investigator” of the Wetterling abduction, do you so badly want to believe that a particular person is guilty of the crime that you will refuse to change your theory even when the evidence indicates otherwise?

Be aware of this tendency in yourself, and in others. Be wary of it. Avoid it. Disengage your emotions and open your mind for the sake of the child who is still missing.

And remember:

“All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.” - Arthur Schopenhauer

I believe while we have discussed others and DR all summer long, that it was very worth it and still is. For me anyway, coming to the fact that DR who probably figured out he had seen the vehicle that took jacob with his own eyes, but despite him having two contacts with LE that night, did not make anyone aware of this until two investigators put him in the principals office the next morning. All you media reporters out there, are you listening?
