Still missing tonight, Jacob Wetterling, age 11.

This was one more day of agony for St. Joseph Wetterling was kidnapped in 1989 on a dead-end

country road in a small town in Minnesota.

The search for Jacob was one of the largest searches for any missing person in the history

of the United States.

An extraordinary sweep for clues is more than a hundred National Guardsmen scoured the

countryside.

This has been the largest manhood in the history of Minnesota and it is not going to stop.

This wasn't just any child abduction case.

parents not getting any rights.
