I was trying to find other sex offenders who may have been around the area in 1989 also, besides DAH. When I googled sex offenders in Stearns County in 1990, I got this site with pictures of several sex offenders from back then. It even has their photos, so you can compare their faces to the suspect drawing that Jared helped with. (And, yes, they are - or were - all priests.)

There seem to be several possibilities.
1. Cosmas Dahlheimer "was named in lawsuits between 1990 and 1994, accused of sexually abusing four children."
Cosmas Dahlheimer lived in Cold Spring for a while. And without the glasses, he looks like the sketch, he has big ears. Most of his sexual assaults were during the 60's and 70's, but it seems they don't stop as they age.
2. Rev. Francis Hoefgen was a priest at St. Boniface church in
Cold Spring, MN from 1980 to 1984. He "was accused of sexually assaulting a boy from 1989 to 1992 when the boy was 10 to 13 years old." Fr. Fran Hoefgen admitted that he sexually abused a teenager in Cold Spring, Minnesota in the early 1980's. The victim said that Hoefgen engaged him in oral sex on at least two occasions. Hoefgen apologized to another victim in a letter in or around 2001. The second victim alleged that Hoefgen engaged him in both anal and oral sex.
3. The polka padre - Rev. Robert Kapoun.
Lived in Cold Spring in the 80's and 90's and still lives there now, when he's not at his winter home in Palmetto, FL.
The Rev. Robert Kapoun, 75, has admitted to sexually abusing at least nine boys. Kapoun molested them in saunas, rectories and the home where he now lives in Cold Spring, Minn. Five victims sued Kapoun for sexually abusing them during the 1980s and '90s.
4. Rev. Thomas (William) Gillespie, O.S.B. (I'm not sure why he's not on the list on this site, but he has been on other lists released recently, and has admitted molesting young boys.) He's in our who's who.
He served from 1975-1976 at St. Boniface Parish (Cold Spring, MN), and from 1986-1996 in St. Joseph Parish (St. Joseph, MN). Fr. Tom Gillespie has at least four victims. Gillespie's youngest victim was reportedly 10 years old. Victims have reported rubbing of buttocks, hands down pants, fondling, inappropriate touching while wrestling, simulated anal sex, and masturbation by Gillespie. In 1996, Gillespie admitted to abusing a minor boy in Stillwater in 1978.
5. Rev. Brennan (Charles) Maiers, O.S.B. A 36-year-old cabinet maker from St. Joseph, Minn., filed suit against the Rev. Brennan Maiers in February 1992, charging Maiers had abused him when he was a 9-year-old altar boy in 1966. Brennan Maiers was an assistant pastor in St. Joseph between 1965 and 1968. Abuse allegations led, in part, to Fr. Brennan Maiers' removal from St. Bernard's Parish (St. Paul, MN) in or around 1990.

"There is speculation that the sheriff’s file on (Fr. Bruce) Wollmering is sealed because it contains information related to the disappearance of Jacob Wetterling or the disappearance of Joshua Guimond, or to both."
