Hope to go.
Then a turning point enjoys research.
She stumbles across a nineteen eighty seven newspaper article from the nearby town of Paynesville.
I found this story about these five cases of young teenage boys who had been followed, assaulted.
Also, very similar language, like when they had been caught, he'd say, Don't turn around or I'll blow your head off.
And it was similar to the language that the boys who were with Jacob had reported.
The town of Painesville, where the incidents happened, is roughly thirty miles from where Jacob Wetterling was kidnapped.
Past Cold Spring, Minnesota, where that other boy, Jarrett Shirel, was abducted months earlier back in nineteen eighty nine.
I shared his story on my blog.
And people were commenting that same thing happened to my brother, or my nephew, or my son.
Chris Bertelson, who grew up in Painesville, told me about a string of frightening incidents that he and his friends had there back in the 80s.
Some of the incidents were reported to authorities back then.
Early in nineteen eighty seven, two friends of mine had been molested.
One a masked man grabbed him.
Grope town.
And then
Another friend of mine had been molested near his home.
Was there a feeling that there was some guy out there who was preying on boys?
It was the talk of everybody, at least of us boys.
І just became kind of a culture to watch out for this guy.
