  • S1 E3: The One Who Got Away
    Sep 13 2016

    The closest you can get to a conversation with Jacob Wetterling about his abduction is to talk to Jared Scheierl. Scheierl was walking home from an ice skating rink in Cold Spring in January 1989 when a man who turned out to be Danny Heinrich forced him into a car, assaulted him, and let him go, uttering some chilling parting words: "If they come close to finding out who I am, I'll find you and kill you." That was nine months before Jacob's abduction.

And it would have been harder for them to come back 21 years later to search with backhoes and declare him a "person of interest" in the case.
