This Case Changed the Law Forever | The Jacob Wetterling Story | Minnesota True Crime

In October 1989, 11-year-old Jacob Wetterling was abducted while riding his bike home in the quiet town of St. Joseph, Minnesota. His disappearance shook the state, changed how parents thought about safety, and led to the creation of the national sex offender registry.

For 27 years, Jacob’s case remained unsolved. Rumors spread, tips poured in, and his family held onto hope. But when the truth finally came out, it was darker than anyone wanted to believe.

This video dives deep into the Jacob Wetterling case — from the night he vanished, to the decades-long investigation, and the devastating answers that finally came.

If you grew up in Minnesota, you know Jacob’s name. This is the story of the boy who never came home.
