Investigators from Minnesota declared today that they made a move at a local farm near St. Joseph to search clues related to Jacob Wetterling’s disappearance that happened 21 years ago, in 1989, and were an abduction case was suspected. Stearns County Sheriff Department declared that the items found may be related to the presumed 21 year old case of abduction, but the evidence will need additional processing and analysis in order to be sure that they are related to this story, and that might take several weeks or possibly even months. Investigation crews arrived at the farm on Wednesday and for two days they were there to search and dig on the farm’s territory.

The sheriff’s office was helped in the search by the FBI, and also by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and by specially trained dogs. The search was kept secret by court order, and not even Jacob Wetterling’s mother, Patty Wetterling, knew about this action, although investigator were half a mile down the road from her home.

Jacob, who was 11 at that time, was kidnapped by a masked man from the farm under the eyes of his brother and a friend. The boy, mother hopes that there will finally be a conclusion to this case and that she and her family will finally find their peace.

It is childlike.
