On October 22nd, 1989, 11-year-old Jacob Wetterling was kidnapped by a masked man from St. Joseph, Minnesota. For 27 years, what happened to Jacob and who took him remained a mystery. The perpetrator had been on police radar since the early stages of the investigation.   Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the abduction and murder of Jacob Wetterling. In 2015, 52-year-old Danny Heinrich was arrested and charged with five counts of possessing or receiving child pornography. He was also named a person of interest in the disappearance of Jacob Wetterling. The authorities had to make a deal with Heinrich to get the full story, and he revealed shocking details of other crimes as well. Many people have questioned whether justice was really achieved and if Heinrich should have been identified much sooner.
