Jacob Wetterling, an eleven year old from St. Joseph, is kidnapped while riding his bike. His parents launch a search for him, and Jacob's photograph appears on posters from coast to coast. In 1990, Jerry and Patty Wetterling established a nonprofit foundation to focus national attention on missing children and their families. Twenty-seven years after the kidnapping, in September 2016, Daniel James Heinrich of Annandale confessed to abducting, sexually assaulting, and murdering Wetterling.
