On October 22, 1989, just after 9:00 p.m., Jacob Wetterling (11), his younger brother Trevor (10), and a friend Aaron (11), were cycling home from a convenience store where they had gone to rent a video, [1] when a masked gunman came out of a driveway and ordered the boys to throw their bikes into a ditch and lie face down on the ground. He then asked each boy his age. Jacob's brother was told to run toward a nearby wooded area and not look back or else he would be shot. The gunman then demanded to view the faces of the two remaining boys. He picked Jacob, and told his friend to run away and not look back otherwise he would shoot. [2] This was the last time Jacob was ever seen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_Wetterling Sources tell 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS the remains of Jacob Wetterling have been found after Danny Heinrich, who authorities had named as a person of interest in his 1989 kidnapping, agreed to cooperate and provide information.

My father was the one who found her body in the river with my dog Shadow. My sister and I went to school with her. I was 8 or 9 and my sister was about her age as they were in the same grade. My father never got over seeing this little girl who he thought was a doll. I remember this vividly even now. I still pray her family finds piece.

DeleteTY for you comment. I am so sorry you dad has had to deal with such a terrible thing.
DeleteWow, I was coming in to say my next door neighbor found this little girl’s body. I also remember A’s father telling my mum about it & it was clear how shaken he was. I didn’t go to the same school, but this happened right before my birthday. It was such a sad case. I periodically look in hopes of seeing that an arrest was made. I continue to hope her parents will one day have answers. It won’t bring Rosie back, but at least I hope they’re able to see her killer brought to justice.
