In October 1989, 11-year old Jacob Wetterling was abducted near his
home in the small town of St. Joseph, Minnesota. Despite an
unparalleled effort to find him, his whereabouts remained a mystery
for 27 years-until his kidnapper, arrested on another charge,
confessed to Wetterling's murder and led authorities to his buried
remains in September 2016. Wetterling's disappearance - and the
national media attention that followed had far - reaching effects.
No longer was small-town America considered safe from the
exploitation of children. In 1993, Congress passed the ""Jacob
Wetterling Act,"" establishing a nation-wide registry for offenders
convicted of crimes against children. In its updated third edition,
this detailed account chronicles the decades-long search for
Wetterling and his abductor. Long-overlooked names and information
that pointed the way to solving the case are brought to forefront
of the investigation.
