Remains of Jacob Wetterling may have been found

ST. JOSEPH, Minn. -- After nearly 27 years of not knowing what happened to Jacob Wetterling -- the 11-year-old boy abducted on a dirt road in 1989 near his home in rural St. Joseph -- there are reports today the boy’s remains may have been found.

According to multiple Twin Cities media reports, during the last two days a key suspect in the case -- Danny Heinrich of Annandale, Minn. -- reportedly led authorities to a Stearns County site where law enforcement have found remains that are being tested for identification.

KARE 11 news is reporting that Wetterling’s mother, Patty Wetterling, has confirmed the remains are that of her son.
