- In today's true crime documentary, we're covering the case of Jacob Wetterling.
We're a news agency committed to delivering factual information about police procedures and local news events. This video aims to educate the public without bias. Our goal is to empower viewers with a clear understanding of what's happening in their communities.
So the police had a bunch of evidence pointing to one person but they ignored that and continually harassed a family that had no evidence pointing to them. Amazing work.
Imagine all the other mistakes they must have made over the years...
no no no, it wasn’t “no evidence,” it was evidence produced under false evidence. Letting him drive through the crime scene makes all
previous evidence irrelevant and, not only that, but supsicious
It was absolutely police incompetence that caused sll the problems. “Chester the Molester” shoudl have been dealt with immediately but the culture of “childhood foolishness” allows a LOT of shit goes through
Matched the description and sketch, one victim positively ID'd car, another victim almost ID'd him in a line up, failed the polygraph test, wears hats and has military fatigues, and they had his DNA. It's completely insane.
Thats typical and usual protocol for the gang that we call the police. They are here to harass us not help us.
@@ViirinSoftworks Who was Jack the Ripper?
He had literally 100’s of CP videos and pictures and he still got a plea deal for being a CHILD MURDERER. Killing children and being a pedophile should have gotten him life in prison.
I know. But with cases like this, they always have to go with what sentencing guidelines were in place at that time. Twenty years was likely the very maximum they could give a pedo back in the early 90s.
No amount of words could ever convince me this man can be "reformed" by prison, that short sentence is a joke, he has hurt children in the past and will continue to after prison, he needs to stay locked up
It's not reform it's punishment. You're correct, there is no reform.
It's because Mason brotherhood. They take oaths to protect themselves, even if this happens.
It did got worse with illegal "aliens" literally free from rpin and killing kids.
That poor guy who was accused ..... he needs massive compensation, a huge public apology. Shame on the police, shame on them.
And especially shame on the prosecutors who made that horrific deal!!
Fuck da police
Hearing Dan’s parents get rightfully upset, was incredibly sad. What a shame.
Shame on YOU.
@@bigwebsite727 ??? Nothing they said was wrong
Thank you for posting this revealing how bad the Rassier family has been treated. Because this isn't even mentioned in the "official" documentary about Jacob Wetterling's disappearance!
Danny Heinrich will literally spend less time in prison than the 27 years that it took the cops to actually arrest him. What an absolute travesty of justice.
I doubt Heinrich will make it out of prison alive. And if he did there will be people waiting for him on the outside.
@@thepcal9654 dudes probably going to thrive and enjoy the rest of his life sadly.
and he killed and raped yet he only got convivted on CP CORN stuff he blew 2 holes in the back of kids skull :/
@@thepcal9654 People dont care as much about child related crimes as people make it out to in the media and movies. Most of those people are just fine in prison.
@@ClintEatswoodit really depends where they end up. Every person I've heard talk about prison said there are three types of people with targets on their heads. Men who hurt women, men that hurt children, and snitches. I did hear one fed prison is safe for the child hurting types.
He looks exactly like the police sketch. Whoever drew that needs a MASSIVE raise. Absolutely amazing they can take words from a small child and turn it into something that is 99% accurate.
That small child had a meticulous memory, helping the sketch artist immensely.
The only competent person in the entire police department
"is this him?"
"looks exactly like him."
"yeah. but the seatbelts don't match."
"oh. must not be him."
Yeah, its wild! When they had the sketch up next to him during the 2015 interview even though it was almost 30 years later, you can see how the artist got his mouth, nose and eyes spot on. I dont know how someone 30 years ago could hold that sketch up to him and shrug it off the next second. Meanwhile Dan, bending over backward for the cops for decades, gets treated like absolute dirt.
Did you really have to say the raise part?
Honestly, it sounds like there were people in the police department protecting this guy. If it's not that, then the incompetence here is just incredible.
Just one of many things, they had DNA samples and have not compared them? Hmmm, SUS!
literally. His brother after hearing about his crimes immediately goes into how he "put Dewey away" and other stuff about "dirty cops". There is 100% more to this story.
they had his freaking hat back in 1990 and didnt test it for DNA until years later....WTF!!!
They 100% protect these kinds of people just look at how they were trying to push the Minor Attracted Peoples thing. Look at how long it took to get Epstein, im going out on a limb here but I predict Andrew Tates case is going to be similar to all of these....
His brother was an officer, and said he was the one who locked up the guy
Agreed
This has to be the most incompetent investigation I've ever seen. They missed literally everything and instead ruined the name of an innocent person.
This man had police in the family. They all knew he was guilty, and cut him a sweet deal. Thin blue line.
I was gonna say that I remember seeing one that was worse, but... The more I think on in, the more I think it might have been the same case. I'm not 100% sure though.
Similar setup, same sort of crime. Case went cold. A new investigator took a look and dragged a man's name through the press without any real evidence and it goes cold again. Then someone else finally cracks the case open and gets the right guy.
Here's the cherry on top though - They were interviewing the lead detective that dragged the innocent mans name through the mud. At this point, it was a known 100% certainty that he was innocent and that another man did the crime. But still, this detective insisted that he's right and the innocent guy is somehow to blame for it.
Exactly. Remind me again why we should trust these people?
This should be shown in public high schools to teach the importance of jury duty and how many innocent people get caught up by incompetent police work.
@@40ozPresI got nothing.
All those detectives probably retired and died actually believing they’re heroes.
The police's treatment of Dan Rassier is inexcusable. Incompetence upon incompetence. Malicious negligence.
Malicious incompetence too
I hope, at a minimum, he got an apology from all involved including the victim's mother.
makes me wonder how many innocent people are in prison
What happens when Barny Fife runs a serious investigation. The police probably patted themselves on the back and congratulated everyone for the fine work when they anounced they caught Heinrich .
He should be able to sue the shit out of them.
It makes me sick that Danny Heinrich got a plea deal. If anyone deserved a death sentence that monster did.
That or living the rest of you lives not knowing what happened to your kids. But don't worry psycatric hospital isn't fun after.all it's worse than jail . He would be in a room with cushioned white walls no windows. If he survived prison
That's what I'm saying. How can you offer a plea deal to a legitimate murderer even to locate a body?
Country loves to believe child molesters/sex offenders can be “rehabilitated.”
Look into : supreme living LLC.
The place is right across from a children’s ballet studio.
Plenty of “homeless” , registered sex offenders. Come and go as they please. And walmart employs them.
All those years of heartache just for them to give him a slap on the wrist. I was 13 in 1989 and remember this being aired on the nightly news.
Well, it is Minnesota.
matching face, matching footprints, matching tire tracks, matching textile fibres, matching car, failed polygraph. Nah probably not him, just skip the DNA test and exclude him. Unbelievable incompetence.
shake his hand too.
True
Thankfully these days crimes are solved way quicker because of the advanced technology we have.
Yeah! Only because a traumatized abused child could not pick him up straight away from the line up. This is despicable.
Incompetence...or corruption...
You cannot tell me that in the 27 years between killing Jacob and getting caught there were no other victims, I wouldn't be surprised if this man is a serial killer.
Agreed, I'm so confused by this. Everyone just accepts this was the last time? That doesn't make any sense
@@jj74554 He may have been spooked enough. That was quite the collection he had there.
If indeed he was responsible for Jacob and others. Knowing he got away with it once...and then twice! oH yeaHh for shiT sure there was others!! (imo) how many? Who knows.
And in this story, they never tell us what all those thousands of home made Child Porn movies come from and who all those victims are. There is no way he just filmed boys bending over to pick up quarters, when he did all this. There is no limit to what our Crooked Cops and Law Enforcement Orgs will do to cover up their incompetence and that is what is happening here.
There has to be evidence of more crimes in all that he has been filming and just to charge him with "Child Porn" is not good enough.
Their ONLY agenda it seems is to some conviction for ANYTHING to end any more people looking at all their failures.
"We called him Chester the molestor...."
It's amazing how someone's behavior was so well known and yet they didn't immediately interview him.
How long did it take to arrest this man after the case date?
@@SpaceXfan2005over 26 years
We had a guy like that in a community I grew up in. We all called him "Rudy the rapist". The police never did catch him, though he was "questioned" multiple times, but all of us girls knew to avoid him (wasn't hard for me to do since he set off all my internal "predator" warnings, no matter how "charming" he was). I'm not sure if it was lack of evidence, witnesses who refused to testify (common in that town), or police incompetence.
I am 62 years old, and EVERY town had a version of "chester the molester" in the 70s. We were all told to stay away from their house. Isn't that awful? Isn't of putting pedos in jail for life, they would get a couple of months in prison. At least that has changed now. I hate this creep's brother so much too. So disgusting!
@RL-cp1cx, and what does it say that the BOYS themselves had to "...arm themselves with knives to try to stop him since the police won't..." And then even when they are arrested and imprisoned, they "separate them from GP" because they know other inmates hate them.
"The police and FBI are idiots!"
-Dan Rassier
Nothing but facts there.
PD at its finest. 😑
@ivy-galactic, I felt so bad for Dan Rassier and his Family being "persecuted" by the same "law enforcement" who caused BOYS "to arm themselves with knives because a man is constantly 'assaulting' them since 'police' seem to have their heads up their @$$..." I mean for this FREAK to jump out in public and "clothesline a boy" and the boy's response is "You already 'got' me...." as in he had already "assaulted" him on a different occasion almost as if, "...you normally 'assault' new victims but you already 'got' me remember...." WTH?! They said at least 8 boys reported being "assaulted" and where were the "Authorities".... Probably interrogating someone's chickens to determine "if the chicken sh** in the neighbor's yard is theirs...." -_-
There aren't even words for that precious boy Jacob Wetterling and his Family.... He had everything to live for and just a simple bike ride to/from a store with his brother and friend to rent a movie, became a real life "movie nightmare" for him and those left behind. All because a "monster" which these days is "politically protected and even promoted" would take the "next step" in this wicked perversion and not only "assault" but murder the victim. I KNEW he did it, soon as they said "he stopped...." He was filling his mind with the wicked images/acts & then he was acting them out by "assaulting" boys, it was likely to lead where it did where he'd not only "assault" a victim but take their life. The details of what happened reminded me of that "creature" from "Jeepers Creepers", stalking it's "prey" to satiate it's appetite, devouring parts of it's victims to "make itself feel whole".... That's what that piece of excrement is... What is even more disgusting is that trash like this is "protected in prison" because they know other inmates can't stand such filth.
Yes
As true today as it's ever been.
Lol 90% of this channels videos are police doing excellent work on cases, but this is the one you hone in on to use as the example 😂
The fact they dismissed him as a suspect because some poor traumatized child missed a few details. That's disgusting
In on it, always.
You are right!!
It was easier to accuse an innocent man than do their job.
@@dulcieparker7425 i think its more likely that he was friends with or related to one or more of the investigators.
County wide cow town incestuous relationship. Everyone's cousins with each other.
My heart breaks for Dan. He didn't deserve all the trauma this case piled on him. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time, always offered to help any way he could, and got 20+ years of torture in return. I hope he's doing well today.
Imagine sexually abusing and killing a child, having hundreds of child pornography sex tapes at home, some home-made, getting sentenced to just 20 years and telling that you are CONCERNED that you will not be free after serving those 20 years. What a remorseless monster, hopefully his cellmates will give him a hard time and make sure he has nothing to be concerned about ever again.
I agree the creep deserves jailhouse justice😡
i can't imagine myself doing that!!! 😢
I always use “imagine” cuz it’s funny asf but in this case I don’t wanna imagine any of that sir
There will never be enough justice in this fumbled mess
Crazy that some drugs dealers that sold weed got more time then this sicko....
They literally had more evidence than most of these cases ever produce and still went after someone totally innocent
Well said! Especially for an older case. You don't usually get two sets of prints and fibers on cases back in the 80s. Hell, you'd be lucky to have that nowadays on top of digital evidence.
His brother was a cop working on the case.
Everybody involved owes Dan Rassier an insane apology.
I hope there was some sort of big news story about Dan's innocence, because he'll never get his reputation back. But he deserves a massive apology from the entire community. And that's assuming they didn't just up and leave the area entirely. Which I probably would after enduring that shit for so long. Dan and the Wetterlings are lucky the police didn't attempt to convict Dan on flimsy or false evidence or Heinrich may have never been found
an millions of dollars.
Agreed!!! 💯 %
Like free Big Macs for life.
Rasseir is just as bad as the other dan, just saying!
What absolutely HORRIBLE initial police work. The commanding officers should be in jail for what they did to that teacher.
the sherriff was for sure employing this guy to make the videos.
The fact they fucked over dan and his life without a simple sorry is the reason police departments end up paying out 100 thousand and millions in lawsuits
….dont think it’s the department that pays.
We the people pay, it’s just another “FU$& YOU” to tax payers
Yet the actual killer got an apology and a handshake.
@@JackPeloquinthat would be us. Paying for government employees who were not elected fuck ups.
@@jakemitchell5015😮😮😮😮😮
I swear. Being a cop is the only profession where you can fuck up so much and still keep your job. It hasn't changed since, either.
That's horrific, yet true!
Other than a weatherman, police officers can fuck up constantly and still have a job Probably why this selfish arrogant personality type likes to be a law enforcement officers
Completely agree unfortunately.
That and a weatherman.
What do you mean? Any politician or person with a government job can screw up constantly and they keep their job! 😂
How ABSOLUTELY SICK is this country where you can plead guilty to possesion of child pornography to avoid being charged for the abduction, rape and murder of a young boy? UNACCEPTABLE!
Just to close afking case! 😮 shocking
If I am not mistaken, if they couldn't find any remains of the boy, then they had no chance convicting the guy for murdering the boy. You need very strong evidence to convict.
It's the government program of 'crime & punishment'
Has nothing to do with justice or morality
'Justice' is how it's sold to us
@@des5748they found him in the field. I was in college when they found him. The guy who was caught used to drive around schools too
It sounds like the justice system here in the UK, but not as bad.
As a Minnesotan who was born shortly after Jacob went missing, this is terribly hard to watch. And I watch loads of videos from this channel.
My entire life, I have heard about this case in bit and pieces. It’s devastating to hear how mishandled this cases was.
Poor innocent family with the mum crying “this is my home” all her possessions hauled out, farm dug up, 30 people tramping through the home ripping up cushions even, and taking stuff. While the suspect that kept popping up on every radar for years…. Not even a peek in his house until almost 30 years later. That guy thought he was sooo protected by the system/local law 🤷♀️ he didn’t get rid of any evidence in 30 years!
It is insane to think they can find several pieces of strong evidence with ease 27 years later, imagine if they searched like a week or two later from the original incident, they would have arrested the same day
I'm pretty sure it was pointed out in the video that his car and house, as well as the houses of his family and friends, were searched in 1990.
Not Heinrich. That was Dan R. @@thewarmachine3732
What's pathetic is how nice they treat him. It's OK to have child p....what the heck
@@jud6menteven in 90 when they brought him in for attacking that boy. They had dna but didn't test it. I know it was early but they should have been sitting on it. It should have been red flagged. I know we had computers, they could have faxed out a warning or something to watch him
They treated Heinrich a lot better then they treated poor Dan.
Dan. Danny is the one who did it
@@godsrevolver9737 Right. Fixed it. Thanks for the correction.
because they knew he was guilty. They didn't have anything against Dan so they tried be aggressive to make him say something that they could use against him. Classic incompetent piglets. Imagine if surgeons did their job how police do theirs :D
They were pressing Dan out of desperation because they had nothing on him and were desperate.
Because he’s one of their own lol. Why do you think he got away with it for so long?
Dan's denial of any involment sounded as sincere and true as you could get.
True. He was also always available for searches, interrogations and felt really guilty for not having done more to prevent what happened.
That man and his family lived their own long nightmare ( i'm not comparing the Wetterings' agony over Jacob's disappearance to them, but still...).
@@golden_leader9227 A false accusation of child rape and murder surpasses the Wetterings' agony.
@@LVQ-so5th i sincerely don't know about that and i hope i'll never know for sure because everything seems like it could be the worst nightmare of my life.
@@golden_leader9227 Luckily Dan was not falsely convicted.
He literally let them 'hypnotize' him...
Jesus those cops were totally incompetent
incopetent
The fact it took 30 years for cops to realize the situation is insane
I'm sorry 30 what!?????
@@hallily7056years
@@hallily7056it’s a gaatdamn travesty.
"the cops investigated themselves, and found no wrong doing"
That’s a lot of BS‼️
Trevor, at that age did an amazing job articulating and recounting important information. There’s grown adults who wouldn’t be that specific and thorough. Kudos!!!
Nah fr when it was revealed he was only 10 at the time is crazy.
Yeah he did an awesome job. Tried his best to help his brother be found from the get go.
fr
Jacob's friend and his brother it was very dramatic for them and will suffer the rest of their lives from this.
I absolutely love how Dan Riser FCKN ROASTED the investigators when they even insinuated he was involved. Good for him!
Why do I feel like the police were protecting Heinrich??
why would the mom expect dan, a stranger, to lose sleep and not go to work because he's a witness? sure, he should care and try to help, but his entire life shouldn't be put on hold for someone he doesn't even know. just goes to show that when the people or the police believe someone is guilty, anything they do will end up being suspicious for no reason
Plus from what I understand he didn't even see the children. He only saw two cars that did some weird turn out of a driveway.I don't think I would have called the cops either... I would have taken my a** to bed and gone to work. The next day, just like he did
This right here. I thought I was the only one thinking that. I realise she’s a grieving mother maybe that’s why but don’t make other feel guilty for going to bed. I would go to bed as well and maybe even forget I saw two cars or anything in the middle of the night.
This! I was so confused when that was brought up as something incriminating!
People don’t tend to be rational when they have no idea whether or not their child is alive.
If he hadn't gone to work, that is ALWAYS seen as a suspicious sign too, cos then they're busy 'getting rid of evidence & cleaning up after their crime'.
You literally cannot win w LE trying to close out a case, ANY way they can.
They had all this evidence against this pervert. None against Dan and his family. Yet it was Dan who was harassed, threatened with arrest whilst this pervert got a handshake and an apology. Brilliant police work!
@suzanhodges415, that's how it works in an evil, regressive world where things are absolutely backwards as God said, "Woe to those who call good evil and evil good...." These "predatory beasts" are seen as "poor victims" whilst actual victims are seen as expendable and at times "themselves at fault...." Dan was in tears feeling GUILTY that "somehow he could've/should've done something and maybe he could've prevented it...." but then the "authorities" almost get him and his Family arrested/killed as they invade their homes and lives with the media in step to be sure they get smeared all over the radio/TV and consider Dan mentioned the fact he was a Teacher and how there were now "parents with concerns about him" where he could lose his livelihood etc. And yet nothing from the "authorities" about making things right with Dan and his Family.
Proof of a dirty department.
Good grief, it is almost laughable how they went all out once they focused on the wrong guy.
The murderer's brother was on the force. They knew he was a "dirty old man" with secrets, it was an open joke. They didn't care, and looked to frame a patsy for him.
Hearing that jacob was asking “what he had done wrong” after being kidnapped, so heartbreaking. He never did anything wrong.
That almost drove me, a grown man, to tears. Kid didnt yet know that real evil existed, thought his suffering at the hands of this monster was because something he did. Nope, you’re an angel kid and I hope the beast that did this to you suffers for the rest of his life.
@@rell0778 But hey, free will right? Right....
Thats with kids a problem which get overlooked all the times, they are trying to get.
WHY did this happen.
They aren’t able to imagine a possibility that fits.
Mainly because they are so innocent, no idea what kind of devilish can host in other people they sure can’t imagine to do what psychopaths do themself
It doesn’t make sense it feels like there is no logic
How can anybody do such a horrible act⁉️
Or is something wrong what I did?
Ive they wrongfully start wondering I’ve there is something wrong about them
Then that is something you can’t Ksst Ksst shove it aside
It all come alonge just fine eventually
NO IT WONT it should be dealt with accordingly
It’s a problem that doesn’t disappear but keeps manifesting for the worst!
It’s unthinkable that he only got 20 years. They could have divided the pornography up so as to charge him with multiple counts. They then could have sentenced him to many consecutive sentences, adding all the years up together for a nice long sentence of time.
So heartbreaking to hear those poor folks being treated like criminals 😢
Plea deals like this should NEVER be allowed. When it involves children, no mercy. No plea deals. Absolutely disgusting.
💯💯💯
yeah but then the family would never get the body, he would have just denied it forever if they didnt offer him the plea deal. he wont live another 20 years anyways.
Plea deals like this are unfortunately sometimes necessary. It may be the only way that officers can use to convince someone to tell where a body is.
The family will never feel at rest until the body gets a proper burial.
Im not opposed to officers using less…lawful…methods of extracting infornation from theses kinds of people.
I think typically they consult the family before giving a deal like this. My guess is they chose closure and finding him over a life sentence and the possibility that he might not be found guilty.
@@FlorenceSlugcat Such as agonising thumb screws or repeated jabbing with an electric cattle prob? Should they use those on all suspects even those inocent farmers who were suspects? What I mean is that they did not know he was guilty untill after the plea deal. So the repeated jabbing with an electric cattle prob would be illegal police action or what could be called punishment before proof of the crime. That sort of ccorrupt policing could lead to the conviction of the offending police along with being kicked out of the Force.
My God… imagine what would’ve happened to this man if the killer had actually hid the body somewhere on his family’s farm? No doubt he’d have been convicted for the murder! That’s terrifying!
Yeah, makes you wonder how many innocent people are in jail for life for evidence that seemed obvious
Sadly its just what happens when humans are allowed to make decisions upon others fate. We cant have people roam free for crimes but humans also cant 100% find truth in every case. Crazy things happen that seem obvious but in reality it was something completely different. For example : theres a case where a man was arrested for a bag of cocaine I seen where police found drugs at the foot of a detained man standing in line for court. They then arrested him and he claimed innocence. I dont remember all the back and forths but they either didnt have video evidence at first or police failed to check cameras and he was I believe convicted of a felony drug charge and contraband charges. Later on at some point either video come to light or they checked cameras and the drugs had actually fell out of a guys pocket standing next to him completely on accident and the man charged for it changed his stance and stood on the bag with a corner sticking out when the police officer noticed it. To anyone with a brain that looked like a no brainer he dropped it and tried to cover it when in reality he had no idea. Any case without concrete evidence there is a chance of false imprisonment but we cant just look the other way either. Just how it goes sometimes. Thats why police need to do their jobs to the best of their abilities.
one of the reasons why death penalty shouldnt exist
@@sayuas4293 Considering Rassier was a 30-something White man, who lived on a farm, had a respectable job, and no criminal record....I would say quite a few.

Well, it is Minnesota! Doesn’t surprise me. Just look at the gov from the state.
@@florabamabelle6413 what would the governor have to do with this?

This is an amazing and very sad story. I hope he never gets released.
this is so infuriating. heinrich was over and over let go and even apologized to while the police RUINED dan and his family's life for no reason

Like Jonbennet.
@@donnahilton471we still don’t know who murdered though, the family didn’t help themselves by refusing to speak….
It wasn't for no reason.... MALICE is the reason
Well they had to get someone for it, or the local community wouldn't shut up about it. And they couldn't go after the actual perpetrator because he had an in with the police with his brother being an officer.
Dan Rassier's case is a perfect example of how cops are not your friends and you should always refrain from talking to them.
Or helping anyone
Thats like saying all black people are criminal thugs.
You got that right....not without an attorney
It definitely illustrates a point made by a police detective who was a friend of my family years ago. He said, if a person is guilty, they really should get a lawyer. If INNOCENT, you MUST get a lawyer and not say a SINGLE word without one. A bad/corrupt/incompetent cop can twist anything you say, and you really have no way of separating the good ones from the bad ones until it's possibly too late.
and they will do ANYTHING needed not to admit they were wrong.
As somebody from Minnesota that was born not long after the Wetterling disappearance, I grew up knowing so much about this case and would occasionally look things up over the years. I can't express the relief that spread through my community when things finally were uncovered.
I was in the same boat. It wasn't too long ago that my mom admitted to me that the reason why she was so strict, was because of Jacob's disappearance.
I was under 10 at the time it happened and also from Mn.
@@speakerpythia Upsetting to hear this. The trauma this man caused to not only these boys and their families but the whole community is irreparable.
Same here. I grew up with this story hanging like a blanket over the whole state. I think it was something that we all felt on some level. And, agreed, it was a huge sense of relief to finally know what happened and who did it. I can't think of anyone who grew up during that time that didn't know the Jacob Wetterling case to some degree. 🤍
my mom once mentioned the same thing. This poor baby’s death was the reason that so many of our parents saved us from the same thing :(
In my honest opinion, this is the most gripping story you've help tell on this channel. Keep up the great work!
If he had skipped going to school the next day they would use that as signs of guilt. He had no way to win. An innocent man would continue his life as best he could, especially if he didn't know he was a suspect.
Idk what they expected him to do at home. He has a job. He has people counting on him. Why the hell not go to work??
He also doesn't know Jacob or the Wetterling family personally. Why wouldn't he go to work the next day? This is mind boggling
It was 100 percent the mother that spread that nonsense. Did you hear the way she tried to interview him. She was fishing like a starving whale, taking anything that could fit.
I’m the same age as Jacob and also from Minnesota. As a child, every time we would drive from northern Minnesota to Minneapolis I always would look in the woods and wonder if he was in there. It’s ridiculous it took so long to find his remains and killer. Thank you for covering this story. Heartbreaking.
Take care❤
my dad would always tell me about him when i would ask to stay out at night as a kid.
❤
I was Jacob’s age when this happened and from MN. This was the end of MN kids playing outside at night without parents watching. A year later me and a friend rode our bikes to a driving range about 1.5 miles away. A storm was approaching so we left, but started raining shortly after we left. On our way, a man with a pickup pulled up next to us and asked if we wanted to throw our bikes in the bed and he’d give us a ride home. Thanks to Jacob’s story we said no and biked away as fast as possible. The pickup went the other direction, but we didn’t stop peddling. I don’t know if the guy had nefarious intentions, but thanks to Jacob we didn’t stick around to find out.
Made the right decision, but odds are he was just a nice man trying to help you all
That was indeed Heinrich, you got lucky brother.
Agree with you, I was born in '86 and grew up about 20 miles south of the twin cities. Growing up our parents didn't let us out of their sight after dark, even during the day they kept a pretty close eye on us. I wasn't old enough to understand at the time, but in hindsight I have no doubt Jacob Wetterling was the reason.
Thankfully the guy wasn't armed like the guy in Jacob's terrible situation.. Me and a buddy were riding our bikes in the neighborhood and we just passed my parents house and my buddy dropped something so he stopped to pick it up and as I'm turning around to look, a white van was pulling up but instead of just passing by it started to come to a stop and there was a driver, front seat passenger and what came to be someone in the back that slid the back door open and asked if I needed a ride. I jumped off my bike and booked it past my friend and to my parents front door and shortly after my buddy showed up and asked what was going on so I told him and I just left my bike in that spot and stayed inside the rest of the day..
I'm glad that you and your friend got away from the Man. If you got in the trunk we might be listening to your story.

Thank you for telling us the entire story of Jacob Wetterling. I remember all of the posters of him around town and his parents on TV. It seemed like every week the reward amount went up. This went on for years, his parents never let the public forget their son. It was heartbreaking. His parents really loved that boy.
Can we just give it up for Dan Rassier and how much of a real one he was? He didn't do anything wrong but took all kinds of tests, got grilled like hell, was treated like crap, carried a lot of guilt, and ended up being an invaluable piece of the investigation.
What a good dude.
Jesus is coming back. Repent of your sins and accept as your savior and obey God. The Bible is all you need.
Let this be a lesson for anyone who wants to come forward with information... Keep your mouth closed!
Rassier was my band teacher!Absolutely a great guy, and the police completely destroyed him and his families reputation. It was so heartbreaking to watch. Stearns county really dug themselves a hole with this one.
He was and he suffered quite unfairly due to police incompetence and possible corruption. His parents too.

My worst nightmare as a Father is something ever happening to my children. My wife gets so mad I dont post them on social media. She has no idea how sick people are out there. Im glad this family got some closure at least in the end.
Social media is the most useless thing in the world. There are serious complications with having yourself and lots of major info avaliable to any global psycho. People on social media are busying comparing lives and having contests- they do NOT care about, nor are they really happy for you. The less of your business in the public, the better.
I got a tracker app that leta me see where my daughter is and I can listen in to her surrounding area. it's really great but then I wonder who else can see where she is
It is insane what people post on social media. Facebook and Instagram have been disastrous.
Also, risks aside, children can not consent to having their photos/videos posted online, and as such, it is unethical to do so.
Show your wife videos like this so she can get a clue. Y’all should both be on the same page with this in regard to your children’s safety
I appreciate you not putting your kids online, Soo many people don't care about their kids and use them for clout.. you my friend have my support.

This is a great reason to never talk to cops or consent to searches. They can get myopic, decide you're guilty and work overtime to pin you for the crime. Thankfully this guy was so clean they came up with nothing, but they still ruined his life.
Yes! Very much so.
If there's anything I've learned from these videos, it's to never try and be helpful if I witness something. The police aren't looking for justice; they're looking for someone to pin it on and wrap these cases up.
Too many egos get together and distort everything
Very true and as soon as u lawyer up every one assumes ur guilty
@@marcosambriz2922 Still the best chance you have. The state is not even allowed to imply to the jury that lawyering up is evidence of guilt, and if they do its either a mistrial or the judge lectures the jury about why (see the Rittenhouse trial).
WHAT!?! They had the answer to the case 27 years ago and they just sat on it?!
ABSOLUTELY WILD 🤯
What's even wilder is that these kids were going around calling him Chester the Molester and NO COPS thought to look into it?!?!?!? All those boys raped and molested all through he 80's and the Cops did NOTHING?!?!? Seems like many on that force were in on the child abuse and protecting an abuser.
crime used to be so easy in the past.... u could get away with easily 200 murders, a guy murdered 280 little girls and raped their corpses for days, they got the killer and they released him after a few years in prison, even after he confessed and showed them corpses of the girls... he spent like 14 years in prison and they released him on good terms, then he espaced and was never found again...
Absolutely disgusting.

Yeah I came here to the comments after that - pretty sure a man who r@p3s a young boy, murd3red him, buried him, dug him up, buried him again, kept souvenirs, and had a long history of hurting and a-🧂-ing boys IS THE DEFINITION OF A MONSTER!!!! Disgusting
He was not Mr. Rogers, for sure.
ofc he didnt stop lol. are you nuts? i would bet my last dollar that he continued committing crimes until the day he got caught.

Or even when he was known around town in the 80s!!
AND.. he said he stopped.. wail.. he said a lot of things.. there was sh*tload of "trophies" in that drawer. Just the tip of the ice berg. He prob just got more cautious.
My parents house was about 5 miles from where they found his body. I rode by that site every day on the way to school and any time I’d go into town. I always thought the field and trees with the river was beautiful. Now every time I’m back in Mn visiting and drive by I think of Jacob. RIP🙏

It should be illegal for media and news companies to plaster people's face and name out when the person has yet to even be convicted of a crime, guilty or not. There's too many examples of innocent people having their lives turned upside down because the news wants to paint a bad picture without waiting for the conclusion of the case.
It got drawn out for decades too.
Absolutely agree. Innocent until proven guilty.
"We live in a society now where it’s just first. Who cares? Get it out there. We don’t care who it hurts, we don’t care who we destroy, we don’t care if it’s true. Just say it, sell it.”
Tell that to the police who are real quick to announce even just "persons of interest" but "don't want to compromise" officer-involved shooting investigations by releasing the officer's name.
I agree. It also opens the possibility of the jury being influenced and becoming a trial by the media. No one should be reported on until a conviction imo
Poor Dan and his family. Poor kids. Yet another example of cops being super useless and harmful.
Another example of parents being useless parents. Who tf allows kids that young to go out that late in the dark to rent a movie.

No, this is a hoax to coverup the real killers, they removed 99% of the CP charges as a reward for reading the confession script. Please do your research if you really want to seek out justice in this case and everything it involves.

In reality, Jacob was tortured for days and probably dismembered, they were desperate to close this case but they were sloppy and made many mistakes with the supposed "evidence" that they "found".

Dragged* but indeed
Dan Rassier, if by chance you ever see this, I have paused at the hypnosis part because I know exactly how you feel. There was a girl murdered just down the road from me. She was attacked at midnight and was still alive until early morning (but not conscious). I don’t sleep well and was up all night that night. The realisation that I could have done something hit me hard. Of course I didn’t know, anymore than you did, but the frustration turned into guilt and I carried her with me, I felt like it was the least I deserved for doing nothing to help her. I have had some counselling for it and it has helped but she’s always with me. Dan, it WASNT OUR FAULT. It was HIS fault (I don’t even want to write his name, he doesn’t deserve one), HE could have done something. Not you, not me, we didn’t even know there was something wrong. I can’t watch anymore so I just wanted to let you know, I know how you feel and I hope your ok xxxx

I'm sorry. I got home one night and saw the local news doing a live broadcast and 3 crime scene vans and other patrol vehicles. Turned out the woman right across the street from my own house had an abusive boyfriend who had been beating her 2yr old son while she was at work. This particular day he had beat the kid so severely he had killed him. I sat outside my house and saw the boy and his bigger sister (about 5 or 6yrs old) playing all summer prior to the event in autumn. Never suspected a thing. Never noticed anything strange.. That was 2017 and I'm still holding myself back from crying now. It wasn't my fault. What happened to the girl wasn't yours. What happened to Jacob wasn't Dan's. It hurts to think of how if we had done one thing different, just one thing somewhere, we could have saved a life. But only these monsters are to blame and NOBODY else.
@songgbirdd It's a very real thing. Sometimes even more so than it probably should.
I really hope Dan Rassier sees your comment. You're absolutely right that neither of you are to blame. In fact, I would argue that the undeserved feelings of guilt, on both your and his part, are proof that you and he are good people.
Dropping the murder charge and keeping only one count of CP is absolute insanity on the court's part. 20 years is not enough.
Unfortunately that’s the only way he was going to admit to the murder
There's a bit of courtyard logic behind it. See, I dunno if you've ever been in or dealt with Max/Fed, but there is exactly one type of criminal that doesn't make it out of there easily. You mess with a kid, you're done. In their eyes, if he would admit to it, it doesn't matter how long he goes in there for, the inmates are gonna handle him. I say this having done camera and tech installations at a few prisons. "Let me see your papers" is a real thing. They don't take your word for it, they will find out why you are there, they have ways, and when they do, you're on a time limit.
That one conviction for twenty years is, in all honestly, a life sentence.

I've seen multiple officers working a case i know very well the person their "locked on" to isn't the perp but they continue to push that innocent person hoping for a quick clean closure of the case. I confronted one of these "officers" once and he his answer made me sick. I wanted to throw my career away over his answer. That is EXACTLY what the Sterns county Sheriffs department did. DISGUSTING!
Do you mind sharing what his answer was? I'm baffled by what kind of mental gymnastics people like that have to put themselves through to justify their actions.

I was molested at a little girl, and he was charged with a fine and released. Now he is out in this world. When I went to dental assisting school, I met a girl who was super sweet and always talked to me. She was talking about her sister and her nephews one day and she said their name, a name that has been tattooed in my brain since I was 15 and I asked my mother. This girls sister, was married to him. I told her and she told me to stay away from her after that.

I would have sent an anymous note and contact police
I'm so sorry for what you went through and this video actually left me speechless I was so mad! It's crazy the evil vile people that are walking our streets.
Say his name, say his address…
What the hell was wrong with the investigators back in 1990? Dismissing a suspect because a kid mistook a column shifter for a stick shift? Police failed this community big time.
Everyone who came in contact with the killer: "He had a deep and raspy voice"
Police, after 15 years of investigating: "Dan Rassier is our prime suspect"
Crazy how close an innocent man came to being put in prison for this. Complete incompetence by the entire justice system.
The police were friends with this guy, his brother was on the force. They were looking hard for a patsy.
I was worried about what would happen if they find the body. What if it was buried on or near Rassiers land or at a location he had any relation to? That could've been the last nail in the coffin for an innocent man.
Happens all the time in America. Look at a non profit called innocence project.

Ever did it again, but kept all the CP?
*SURE JAN*
The press should be required to print that nothing was found at Dan’s house and he was exonerated with a statement from the police as many times as they called him a suspect. It is ridiculous that innocent people have to deal with police incompetence for years after they are exonerated.

Because he was old enough they just wanted to make sure there was no chance he could weasel out of the full murder charges.
We see plea deals so much because lawyers can argue tiny pointless details on bigger charges, all it takes is one unconvinced juror to ruin the case, so if they go for a plea deal at least they can for sure put them behind bars.
And besides, at his age it's basically a life sentence.
you also have to consider the wetterlings were maybe so desperate for closure to 100% know the fate of their son, they might not get another chance

This sends a very familiar chill down my spine. I'm a 40 yr old man now but when I was 9 I was almost kidnapped during gym class. I never could understand why they (a pair of guys) wanted to take me. I ran, hollered for help, and jumped the fence to get to the coach. She however did not believe me. I went to class told the teacher and she did not believe me either. I ran all the way home after school terrified and avoided brown cars. I told my mom and she did not believe me. Days later I took it upon myself to tell the principal and he laughed it off. I was so alone. I fell into a deep depression and became reclusive. It wasn't till I hit puberty that I decided could defend myself. I grew up in a bad neighborhood of Dallas so I had to worry more about getting jumped or robbed lol. I am fortunate that I didnt get taken, but still bear the emotional scars of that day and how adults let me down. What can I say, it sucks.

I can’t believe nobody believed you.. but at the same time I can.. we are the same age and I swear when we were kids adults just did not listen to us at all..

I was an introvert bookworm ffs lol.. I’m sorry that happened to you but props to you for realizing you can defend yourself!❤
I am so sorry that you had to deal with idiots that can't tell when a child is scared. I have had people ignore my voice too. At least some people are listening to children now. I was younger than you and when adults let me down I thought that it was because I wasn't worth anything. May adults open their eyes and ears and protect those they are supposed to!
I'm so sorry! Stories like this is why i always listen to my kids and believe what they tell me with all my heart. How sad to feel so alone and unprotected, failed by those who are supposed to keep you safe. Again, I'm whole heartedly sorry

Poor Dan and his family. The police are so fucked up
the police bungled it, but the media and the public were responsible for their treatment of him

@@elw6150...so so sorry for what happened to you, friend.
@@elw6150 My parents owned a home and resort on a lake back in the 1950's in Canada, nearest neighbor was a 1/2 mile away. I was walking home from school which was thru a forested area when I was 8 in early June of 1958, when I came across a naked man playing with himself, he asked if I wanted to play with him. I took off running, passing a car with two women naked making out. I ran the rest of the way home, my mom took one look at me and asked what was wrong I told her, just happened that day the police were there having coffee at my parent's restaurant. The police questioned me and asked if I got the license plate of the car which I didn't, they then took off right away but the man and the two women in the car were gone. Exactly a week later a little closer to home from the first incident I had to cross the bridge, when I was half way across, a man came running on to the bridge wearing swim trunks and asked me where the change rooms were, I pointed to where they were. He then he took his swim trucks off fast and was about to grab me, when two teenage girls walked on to the bridge, he then ran past me and them. I had noticed a car on the other side of bridge, I wrote the license plate number on a piece paper and ran home, but not before I seen the same man now fully dressed jump into that car and drive off. Before I got home, the police were driving down the road to go for coffee, I waved to them told what happened and gave them the piece paper with the license plate number. The asked if I knew the two teenage girls, I pointed to the two teenage girls who were way up the road by then and they drove up to talk to them. I had a few weeks left of school so my older 16 year old sister walked me to and from school. When we finished school my parents sent my sister and I to spend the summer with our Aunt and Uncle. They then sold their home and business, as the police thought that I was being targeted by a Pedophile ring. My parents bought a new home in a residential area, where neighbors were close by , the walk to school was on a street with houses. When I had my own children when they were school age, I warned both my children about predators.
Even if he did go home and cry, so what? That doesn't bring him back to life.
It’s crazy how spot on that sketch was. And the fact that he had all that child filth and the fatigues. That should have been proof enough.
I can't believe the shoe and tire treads matched and they were just like "Wow, what a coincidence! Well we're pretty sure it's the male teacher, those guys are always pedos"
When I heard that Jacob asked what he did wrong…..I felt physically shaken. That is so awful.
Hearing his parents screaming, they sound just exhausted with the whole thing. It’s so sad that the state treated them and their home/land like that.
I felt particularly sad for him and his parents as well.
