Episode Details

The abduction of eleven-year-old Jacob Wetterling from a rural Minnesota road was not just a tragedy but a devastating indictment of institutional negligence, as critical leads were dismissed, innocent men were destroyed by suspicion, and a predator continued his reign of terror for nearly three decades before DNA technology and a calculated confession finally brought the truth to light. This is the story of a boy who asked what he had done wrong, a mother who never stopped fighting, and the dark secrets that festered in the shadows of an unsuspecting community.
