Wetterlings To Address Latest Developments Tuesday

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- The parents of Jacob Wetterling will be addressing the latest developments in the 26-year-old abduction case.

Last Wednesday night, 52-year-old Danny Heinrich, of Annandale, was arrested on charges of possessing child pornography, but was also named a person of interest in Jacob Wetterling's abduction.

He was questioned in 1990 in connection to the abduction case but never charged. A DNA sample was taken at the time.

Currently, authorities say there is no physical evidence linking Heinrich to Wetterling's disappearance, but he remains a "person of interest" in the investigation. He is also suspected in a series of unsolved attacks in the late 1980s near Paynesville, most of which were just blocks from where he lived at the time.

When authorities announced the arrest and charges for Heinrich, Jerry and Patty Wetterling released a statement in reaction.
