Jacob Wetterling Anniversary
On
the night of October 22, 1989 Jacob Wetterling was abducted from St. Joseph
Township in Stearns County. Since that
time family, community and law enforcement partners on the Federal, State and
local levels have worked together to find and bring Jacob home. Together
we have worked tirelessly to provide the answers everyone has waited far too
long to hear.
I
would ask that today, October 22, 2014, the 25th anniversary of Jacob's
abduction, we all take a moment out of our day to pause and remember Jacob and
all of the other missing children. In doing so, let us all make a
personal commitment to never forget or take for granted the many blessings we
do have in our lives as they can be taken from us. In addition, on this 25th
anniversary as in previous years, we would ask that everyone leave a porch light
on tonight to remember Jacob.
I
can assure you that the Stearns County Sheriff's Office, the BCA and the FBI
will remain steadfastly committed to providing answers as the passage of time
has in no way diminished our resolve.

the time of his abduction and an age progression photo of what he may
look like today. If you have any information regarding Jacob’s abduction please call the SCSO at 320-259-3700 or call the Center for Missing & Exploited Children at 1-800-THE-LOST.
