The parents of Jacob Wetterling spoke publicly for the first time today (Tues) after last week’s new developments in the case of their son who was abducted in 1989. Patty Wetterling says they hope and pray that one day they’ll have the answer to the question, where is Jacob? “Somebody knows and we’re begging for those answers,” she says. Last week authorities said they had charged 52-year-old Daniel Heinrich (HINE-rick) of Annandale with receiving and possessing child pornography and identified him as a “person of interest” in Jacob’s disappearance.
