Minnesotans' hearts broke as one September 3 when the remains of 11 year old Jacob Wetterling, missing since his 1989 abduction, were discovered on a Paynesville farm. The longtime suspect in the case, Danny Heinrich, led authorities to where the boy was buried, and three days later, confessed to abducting, molesting and killing Jacob.
Here in Duluth, there are almost 300 sex offenders living in our community, but thanks to the Wetterling Act, more and better information about them is available to law enforcement and communities.
