Heinrich laid to rest a decades-old mystery: What happened to 11-year-old Jacob Wetterling after he was abducted in Minnesota by a masked gunman?
Patty Wetterling is consoled by son Trevor during a news conference after Danny Heinrich confessed to abducting and killing 11-year-old Jacob Wetterling nearly 27 years ago. Moments after Danny Heinrich abducted Jacob Wetterling on a rural road in Minnesota, the man handcuffed the 11-year-old boy and forced him into a car.
A year later, when he drove by the site, he noticed Jacob’s red jacket sticking out of the grave, WCCO reported. He returned later and transferred the remains to a nearby farm. Tuesday’s admission was part of a plea deal with federal prosecutors on the child pornography charges. The deal could land Heinrich at a facility where he wouldn’t be in as much danger as a convicted sex offender, WCCO reported.. “He is the confessed murderer of Jacob Wetterling and nearly 27 years after he committed this heinous crime, he has been brought to justice. And Jacob is finally home.
