The disappearance of 11-year-old Jacob Wetterling, who was abducted one evening nearly 27 years ago while riding bike not far from his St. Joseph, Minnesota home, has shaped a significant piece of who I am, how I live. As a teenager at the time, case made me immediately fearful of strangers and watchful of my surroundings. Later, as a media professional, I wrote many stories and was involved in a number of investigations into the unsolved case. As a parent, Jacob's story was never far from mind as I sought-- as we all seek-- to keep my children safe from harm.
Today, today comes the news that Jacob's remains have finally been found and identified. Love go his family. Peace to all:
