SHOUT OUT TO STACY M. FOR SUGGESTING THIS EPISODE! THANK YOU!In October 1989, 11-year-old Jacob Wetterling and his brother, Trevor (age 10), and best friend, Aaron (age 11), convinced Jacob's parents to allow them to ride their bikes to a local convenience store in St. Joseph, Minnesota. It got dark early in the evening in Minnesota in October, and the boys had to take flashlights and wear reflective vests before they could go. The boys made it to the convenience store, however, on their way home they were stopped by a man who abducted Jacob.

In dieser Radioreise nimmt Sie Alexander Tauscher mit auf eine Tour mit dem Hausboot durch Brandenburg. Dabei sind wir zunächst im Nordosten des Bundeslandes unterwegs, in der Uckermark. Freuen Sie sich auf das gemütliche Schippern über die Templiner Gewässer. Später reisen wir weiter in Richtung Ruppiner Land, bevor wir die Landeshauptstadt Potsdam erreichen. Dagmar Rockel-Kuhne vom vom Bootsbauer und Bootsverleiher Kuhnle Tours gibt uns einen Schnellkurs auf dem Wasser. Patrick Kastner vom Reiseland Brandenburg zeigt uns die neue hochmoderne Schleuse Kannenburg. Eine flächenmäßig große, aber nicht sehr stark besiedelte Stadt erleben wir später. Verena Presko vom Tourismusbüro spricht über Templin und seine Geschichte, eine Stadt im Grünen und umgeben von viel Wasser. Außerdem ist es die Heimat von Altbundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel. Für Schlechtwetter oder die kühlere Jahreszeit empfiehlt Markus Nengel als Geschäftsführer der Natur-Therme Templin ein Bad im wohlig-warmen Wasser. Für Freunde des Wilden Westens empfiehlt Kerstin Kleinloff einen Besuch im El Dorado Templin, einem Western-Themenpark am Rande der Kreisstadt. Der Park liegt am Südufer des Röddelinsees. Um den gekrümmten Lübbesee führt uns der Biologe Thomas Volpers auf einer kleinen Radtour. Von der Uckermark aus begeben wir uns noch kurz in Ruppiner Land und erkunden mit Sabine Hahn das Wasserreich rund um Fürstenberg an der Havel. An der Havel machen wir auch in Potsdam kurz Station. Johannes Westerkamp begleitet uns auf einem Landgang vom Strandbad Babelsberg in Richtung Heiliger See über den Sacrower See bis zur Glienicker Brücke. Ganz am Ende der Radioreise schippern wir aus dem großen Brandenburg ins dicke B. Am Südostrand von Berlin liegt die idyllische Siedlung Neu-Venedig. Dieser Teil von Berlin-Rahnsdorf ist durchzogen von Wasserkanälen. Danny Heinrich vom Bootsverleih Spreepoint paddelt mit uns auf den Kanälen. Viel Spaß bei dieser Bootsreise!

In a quaint town in Minnesota, the fall of 1989 witnessed a harrowing event that would shape the course of child safety regulations in the U.S. for decades to come. The unsolved disappearance and eventual tragic murder of 11-year-old Jacob Wetterling sent shockwaves across the nation, inspiring a movement for child safety and law reformation.    On that fateful evening of October 22, while Jacob was cycling home from a local convenience store in St. Joseph, Minnesota, with his brother Trevor and friend Aaron Larson, their innocent journey was cruelly interrupted. A masked man wielding a revolver forced the boys into a ditch. As Larson later recollected to ABC News, the harrowing incident felt surreal at first, "It became real pretty quick."    After seizing Jacob and threatening the remaining two with dire consequences, the abductor vanished. Despite the tireless efforts of the community, the FBI, and local police in the subsequent days, Jacob remained missing. His innocent face, symbolizing every family's worst nightmare, became a national call for action, appearing everywhere from milk cartons to highway billboards.    Years later, in 2014, a ray of hope appeared. Re-examining of the Wetterling case by the FBI's Child Abduction Rapid Deployment team brought Danny Heinrich, a resident of Paynesville, into the spotlight. Although initially a name of interest shortly after Jacob's disappearance, he was never formally linked to the crime.    However, with the advent of advanced DNA technology, investigators connected Heinrich to the clothes of Jared Scheierl, another boy victim from the same period. This discovery, while bringing Heinrich back to the investigators' radar, couldn't lead to his arrest due to the expiration of the statute of limitations. But fortune had other plans. Following a search warrant in 2015, Heinrich was arrested on child pornography charges, setting in motion a series of events that would finally bring closure to Jacob's case.    As a part of a plea deal in 2016, Heinrich confessed to Jacob's abduction and subsequent murder, detailing the events of that October night. He recalled Jacob's heartbreaking question, "What did I do wrong?", before the heinous acts that followed. Through this confession, Jacob's remains were discovered, ending the 27-year-long search for him.    The pain and sorrow experienced by Jacob's family, especially his parents Patty and Jerry Wetterling, were unimaginable. Yet, rather than succumb to despair, they transformed their grief into a driving force for change. A year after their son's disappearance, they launched the Jacob Wetterling Resource Center. As stated on their website, its mission is to educate the public about child abduction and its prevention.    Furthermore, their advocacy efforts bore fruit with the inception of the 'Wetterling Act', mandating the establishment of sex offender registries across all states. Patty Wetterling's relentless determination was summed up by her husband Jerry in an interview with ABC News: "Jacob spurred Patty into being a bulldog for keeping kids safe."    The chronicle of this heart-wrenching journey, however, does not end here. Thirty-four years post the tragic incident, Patty Wetterling is about to release her book, titled "Dear Jacob: A Mother's Journey of Hope." As noted by co-author Joy Baker to the Star-Tribune, Patty's story is unparalleled. Not only did she endure the pain of a lost child but also transformed her anguish into a nationwide movement, changing laws and capturing the attention of the highest echelons of power.    Set to be published by the Minnesota Historical Society Press on October 17, the book promises to be an inspirational testament to a mother's love, hope, and unwavering resolve.    The tale of Jacob Wetterling stands as a poignant reminder of the fragility of life. But, more importantly, it highlights the indomitable spirit of a mother and a community that chose action over despair, leaving an enduring legacy in the realm of child safety.

What do people want to talk about? World Series? Presidential election? Nope. The world wants to know what Lara Bricker got arrested for. (Hint: it wasn't election fraud.) Looks like her accomplices left her holding the bag...literally. In our audience feedback segment, the Crime Writers respond to a heartwarming email from a cancer survivor who's ready to take on the challenge of punching one of their least-favorite attorneys. Then, when it's time for business, the panel digs into the final episode of APM Reports' "In the Dark." Madeleine Baran didn't pull punches when it came to the police narrative that Danny Heinrich was just too good at covering his tracks for 25+ years. But is her conclusion too broad? Unfair? (Sometimes investigators know who did it, but can't get enough to make the arrest - as officials have told Rebecca & Kevin about the Stacey Burns "Mothers Day Murder" case.) Finally, Rebecca, Kevin, Lara, and Toby offer up their recommendations about what you should be listening to, reading, and watching right now.

October marks the 27th anniversary of the disappearance of eleven-year-old Jacob Wetterling, Jacob was abducted at gunpoint in 1989, 27 years ago. Jacob's remains were found just one month ago. Danny Heinrich, long a person of interest and who has been pending trial on charges of child pornography, led authorities to an undisclosed location in Central Minnesota. In a bizarre twist to the case, Jodi Huisentruit, a news anchor and one who reported on Jacob's case also disappeared. Emmy award-winning investigative reporter, Caroline Lowe, was called to cover Jacob's case and has been deeply involved with the details or both his and the disappearance of Jodi as well. Tune in to hear Caroline Lowe to discuss the inside story of Jacob's kidnapping and the recent confession by his killer.

Soon after the abduction and murder of Jacob Wetterling in 1989, Stearns County sheriff's investigators came face to face with his killer, Danny Heinrich, who would confess to the crime 27 years later. Then they let him go. It wasn't the first time that had happened in Stearns County. Support investigative journalism with a donation to In the Dark.

Now that the crime writers are all back in their closet studios after their awesome live show, they tackle the newest high-quality true crime podcast, "In the Dark." It's like "Someone Knows Something"... if someone actually knew something. Rebecca begins by talking with Madeleine Baran, APM Reports journalist and host of "In The Dark." They chat about Madeleine's year-long investigation on what went wrong during the investigation into the 1989 kidnapping of Jacob Wetterling. Even though the podcast kicked off days after Danny Heinrich confessed to killing Jacob 27 years ago, is there still a compelling story to tell? The panel ponders if a true crime podcast can still achieve excellence without the benefit of suspense. Then the Crime of the Week is not child's play. Or is it? Someone needs to go to jail, go directly to jail. Also...Kevin is again doing his part to raise money for a local crisis center. He will "Walk a Mile in Her Shoes" and don some stilettos for this one-of-a-kind walk-a-thon. (Spoiler alert: he will likely twist both ankles.) If he raises enough money for his October 5 walk, Rebecca promises to stream every painful step on Facebook Live.

The closest you can get to a conversation with Jacob Wetterling about his abduction is to talk to Jared Scheierl. Scheierl was walking home from an ice skating rink in Cold Spring in January 1989 when a man who turned out to be Danny Heinrich forced him into a car, assaulted him, and let him go, uttering some chilling parting words: "If they come close to finding out who I am, I'll find you and kill you." That was nine months before Jacob's abduction. Support investigative journalism with a donation to In the Dark.
