The Murder of Jacob Wetterling
In October 1989, 11-year-old Jacob Wetterling was abducted in the town of St. Joseph, Minnesota. It became one of the most notorious child abductions in American history and for 27 years, a porch light stayed on as a beacon of hope for the missing boy. In this episode, we chronicle Jacob’s heartbreaking story. We explore the chilling night of his disappearance, the immense strength of his mother, Patty Wetterling, and the shocking 2016 courtroom confession that finally broke the silence. Join us as we look at a tragedy that reshaped national laws, birthed the sex offender registry, and left a lasting legacy of child safety advocacy.
