Something off about this woman

My heart just breaks for Patty! You can see the toll the stress has taken on her over the years.

You know, they say you die three deaths. The first, is when your physical body ceases to function. The second comes when the last person sees a picture of you. But the third, and only real death, comes at that point in time when your name is spoken for the last time. And thus, it will be a long time before Jacob ever truly dies.

And this animal is currently in a low security federal prison, and will be released in 2033. If you believe in prayer, pray someone decides to serve true justice as soon as possible.

Patty, you are doing such an incredible job helping other families with children. I hope God blesses you and heals you of your loss. I felt so sad when you lost Jacob. I didn't know whether to cry or to feel sad the rest of my life for you. I hope you are well, Patty.

@debyecleide March 4, 2025 - 1:30 pm

Patty, I am a mother of two, and I can't tell you how strong and incredible you are! Jacob is beyond blessed to have a mom like you! My heart aches for your loss, but I am sure you will have him back in your arms.

I'm so sorry for what Jacob, his family and friends lost 20 years ago. The incompetence of the police in this case was horrific.

Small time departments like that in rural Minnesota would do well to get other big time agencies involved who are well versed in abduction and murder investigations. However the F.B.I. was contacted, right?

My kids are grown now, but I remember my horror when a lady reached into my baby's buggy and picked her up without permission. She was 1 and 1/2 months old and her buggy was covered with a thin filmy blanket. In a blink of an eye this stranger had reached in and snatched my baby up and was heading towards the shop door!

My friend and I stopped her and the shop owner called the police. It seemed she had emotional problems after having lost her own baby, but I'm not sure if I could have survived it if she had been taken away.

I am so sorry this family suffered so much and for so long after the unimaginable happened to them. What a hideous excuse for a human being the perp is.

@thestranger9608 March 4, 2025 - 1:30 pm

Jacob's killer got away with murder proof white privilege exists

@who_askednobodyasked6909 March 4, 2025 - 1:30 pm

Beautiful family

@richardhutchison3123 March 4, 2025 - 1:30 pm

Hope is a verb! What a telling statement from a woman/mother who has been there and done just that!

@hhijklmjoe March 4, 2025 - 1:30 pm

She had to of known in her beautiful loving heart of hearts that he was dead and gone. God bless her. Her poor sweet INNOCENT son Jacob was murdered and dead within a couple of hours of his abduction and his mother thought he was alive all these years, never giving up,hope. God bless her. What a strong courageous sweet woman. RIP sweet Jacob. You are finally, after almost 3 decades, HOME.

@sammygirl6910 March 4, 2025 - 1:30 pm

Poor beautiful boy. I'm happy they finally found him. Love to the family.

@gagealton5918 March 4, 2025 - 1:30 pm

that is a horrible man a horrible human being. at least after 27 long years they can put their boy to rest. I lost my cousin a day after he was born I know what it's like to lose somebody but I would never want to lose my child to this. I am not old enough to have kids yet but if anybody ever touch's my kids in the wrong way I will kill them I will go to jail for the rest of my life for them anyone agree?

@wrkin90044 March 4, 2025 - 1:30 pm

Such a cute kid, what a tragedy. R.I.P

@irislow873 March 4, 2025 - 1:30 pm

Really hope he was alive. Such a evil person why do they kill an innocent child 🙁

@MrSoldierperson March 4, 2025 - 1:30 pm

I'm sorry for your loss.

@NolaChick82 March 4, 2025 - 1:30 pm

I hope they look at this recent news with the thought of "he wasn't suffering all these years." He wasn't trapped and scared. He wasn't being tortured. He wasn't being held against his will. He wasn't in pain. He was at peace in a world beyond this one. And his family will see him again.

@beccwolo March 4, 2025 - 1:30 pm

RIP Jacob, prayers to the family

@lafemme2288 March 4, 2025 - 1:30 pm

At least they can have a little peace right now. Wish it could have turned out better for them though

@user-rr5bj3dw1f March 4, 2025 - 1:30 pm

Can't believe Jacob is gone 😓😓😓😓

@miryamishot March 4, 2025 - 1:30 pm

I'm so sad… I really thought he was alive.

@miryamishot March 4, 2025 - 1:30 pm

The key is to never give up. Even until the end. She will never say she didn't try.

@miryamishot March 4, 2025 - 1:30 pm

What a horrible feeling. 🙁 I wish I could take her pain away. So sad

@dontlikenumbers March 4, 2025 - 1:30 pm

Rest in peace Jacob. I feel so sad for his family right now.

@dolosang March 4, 2025 - 1:30 pm

God bless you Patty Wetterling.
Every mother weeps with you.

@ellieecupcakess3743 March 4, 2025 - 1:30 pm

Patty seems like a wonderful mother makes me sad

@janiedoe1542 March 4, 2025 - 1:30 pm

I wonder if Patty Wetterling met Elizabeth Smart, Shawn Hornbeck, Amanda Berry, Gina Dejesus, and Michelle Knight?.

@lazerpete3594 March 4, 2025 - 1:30 pm

Geeze. Everybody says find him, 25 years later  not leads or anything. What is going to change now? Move on with your lives.  So we will have updates  when he is 50 then 70 years old?
