The 53-year-old man who confessed to abducting and murdering 11-year-old Jacob Wetterling won’t face charges in his murder.
Danny Heinrich confessed to abducting, sexually assaulting and killing Jacob in exchange for a plea deal. He won’t face any charges in the boy’s death.
Instead, prosecutors charged Heinrich with multiple counts of possession of child p0rnography.
Heinrich appeared in federal court in Minneapolis on Tuesday. Also in the courtroom were Jacob’s parents, Patty and Jerry Wetterling.
Heinrich was asked if he abducted, sexually assaulted and murdered Jacob.
“Yes I did,” he responded.
“I was driving on a dead-end road” outside St. Joseph on the evening of Oct. 22, 1989 when he saw three young boys on their bikes with a flashlight, he said.
Heinrich admitted ordering the three boys off their bikes and forcing them to lie face down on the ground. After asking their ages, he told Jacob’s 10-year-old brother, Trevor, and 11-year-old friend, Aaron, to run into the woods.
Heinrich said he handcuffed Jacob, who asked him, “What did I do wrong?”
He told Jacob to duck down in the front passenger seat after hearing about Jacob’s abduction on a police scanner in his car.
He said he drove Jacob to a gravel pit and sexually assaulted him.
“I’m cold,” Jacob told him afterwards.
Heinrich told Jacob he could get dressed and he would take him part of the way home. He said he shot Jacob when the boy started to cry.
“I panicked. I pulled the revolver out of my pocket. I loaded it with two rounds. I told Jacob to turn around,” Heinrich said.
“I told him I had to go to the bathroom,” Heinrich said. “I raised the revolver to his head. I turned my head and it clicked once. I pulled the trigger again and it went off. Looked back, he was still standing.
“I raised the revolver again and shot him again.”
He left the body in the gravel pit and returned the next day with a Bobcat backhoe to dig a hole.
Heinrich said he returned to the site a year later and noticed part of the boy’s jacket sticking out of the ground.
He dug up the remains and buried the body on a farm just outside Paynesville, Minnesota.
That’s where FBI investigators found Jacob’s remains last week after Heinrich confessed.
He faces a maximum of 20 years in prison on the 25 p0rnography counts.
The other charges were dismissed in exchange for his plea and confession.
Sad. In other news: Bill Cosby is blind.
Is lethal injection not an option for this, waste of space?
Crine! as in these two related stories. Funny Not Funny.
Jesus Lord.
5…4….3….2….1….
Billy Cosby is Bline and here comes DUBB @disqus_xxG0Es8dVj:disqus
Let the JOKES begin.
How could they not charge him for his murder, how is that justice.?
Why plea deal with a pedophile????? The only deal I’d offer is lethal injection, electric chair, or get raped daily in jail
You know I love Karma … it will come back to him …… the energies you send out always come back ….
Right! I’m assuming a deal is the only way he would lead them to the body. I still wouldn’t have given him the option. Not this sick fool
Fugg the plea deal let this beast go into the room with his victims parents and let them have 10 minutes alone. You get no mercy when you mess with children the law shouldn’t protect or give plea deal
That’s phucked up! I swear if I was his parent and still alive when he get out I would kill him!!!! USA JUSTICE SYSTEM is A DISGRACE! Smmfh #angrymom
Because they don’t have enough evidence to indict him I would venture to guess
He pled to the porn to avoid getting the harsher sentence he would have gotten at trial…his confession hopefully will give the family closure
My God! This is the criminal justice system in america when the perpetrator can admit guilt and still not get the death penalty for a sick crime like this? Colin Kaepernick should sit down for the national anthem and I’d sit with him. this is a disgrace and the judge/politicians responsible should be punished.
Amen!!
White people are the masters and rulers of chaos and disorder.
Now that is a TRUE statement. Always!!!!!
Hope all is well. : )

Yet we have people serving 20-25+ years for selling weed. Sigh.
#nojustice
Don’t forget about the poor souls that be a passenger or it’s found in their house. Lawd Jesus
Tears…
Damn
Death penalty requires a trial tho
This is pure bs! I do not understand why they even copped a plea deal with this demon! Omg there is no justice in this world?
He would probably enjoy getting raped sick fugg
? exonerating ? why am I not surprised
I’m sure some of his accusers must be thinking:
#justiceatlast.
Nahhh, he likes to be in control, He too sick to like it, in that fashion.
Don’t look ??? good for bill right now.
Probably for the family to get his remains and a proper burial.
Don’t LOOK. HA….
Don’t LOOK. HA….
If I felt Bill was innocent maybe I’d feel more sorry for him. But I do feel somewhat sorry for him still.

Yup. Just sitting in the back seat of the wrong car at the wrong time… and ending up stuck with a felony conviction for life. Sad.

I knew there was a plea deal in the works in exchange for his confession. He will go to prison for child port and those boys in there will administer the proper justice.
Wait……..kidnapping, sexual assault, murder (execution style), no remorse, got a back hoe and dug, went back to scene and saw jacket, so moved body to prevent getting caught…………..was all dismissed for sexual pornography and plea.confession and only 20 years…..meanwhile, Ray sold drugs and is in for the same amount or a little less years?
Why is this cartoon so true?
They have COMPLETE OWNERSHIP of it!!
In this case he’s a poor fat slob with hopefully clogged art and need of medical attention he will never get. Also don’t forget about intimates that with shank his arse.
Arierl Castro (killed himself – Yeah okay)
Jeffery Dalmer (killed by another prisoner)
This clown will die or be killed before sentence is completed.

I remember this story. So sad. RIP! I wonder why he chose this boy out of the three. ?

That’s what I always thought, but according to the write up his brother was 10 & friend was also 11.

New post
I think if he had the choice, he’d rather serve 25 years in prison than 10 minutes in a closed room with that boy’s father.
God bless that poor child. I could only imagine what the other kids are going through in life.
Thanks Goodness. HI Doll
True, all one can hope for is prison justice
True, all one can hope for is prison justice
A part of me hopes that he’s “loved on” severely but I have a feeling that he’d like it. I hope this POS dies painfully.
Everything is going well … did I miss your birthday … If so Happy Belated gal … hope it was marvelous <3 https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/cccb186ddde3806f896a92611de175a9ff6dd8cf202f98128d5f9edafedfd835.gif
I can’t wait until they torture him in jail. White men are pedophiles.
That’s it, my son will not be riding his bike in the neighborhood anymore…I’m just so afraid of perverts like this, I can’t imagine this happening to my baby boy, he’s 11, this world is just to WICKED!!!!
Poor Jacob…he must have been terrified. This man is the lowest life form. god only knows how many other children he’s harmed!
Good.
Bubba nem shalt be waiting smdh poor baby and his parents
what he did to this child is monstrous. reading that the baby said he was cold after being violated breaks my heart and enrages me at the same time. innocence lost.
peace to jacob’s family. no child or family deserves this.
Homosexual pedophile who committed murder & he is proof of why some gays like this gay pedophile deserve to be bashed-of course Judy Lynn Shepard (whose son Methew W. Shepard molested 8 year old boys when he was 15 years old) sees nothing wrong with what this homosexual pedophile did as Judy L. Shepard thinks homosexual pedophilia is OK.
I would rather have a case where a jury decides if a man’s reaction to bashing or killing a homosexual is justified or excess vs. the man doesn’t do enough and the gay does something worse. Most men and boys who are victims of gays usu. won’t call cops to report that a gay is committing indecent exposure, harassment or in worst cases molestation until some1 reacts violently and bashes the gay.
Jesus! 20 years?
Notice how no one on this board mentions race when a miscarriage of justice involves only white people.
Fcukkk this system mayne!
Because of perverts like this, that is why kids needs to be escorted by adults. And why were cops not patrolling this area? That’s because the cops were in another neighborhood doing police brutality!
There was a judge here in Atlanta who broke a plea and gor dragged mercilessly until she decided to quit.
I would put money on big bubs book to torture him daily.
The same about for residue and paraphernalia. A damn shame.
Pedos should be burnt alive.
Sad rip to this baby,this sick freak should have been put down.
Chile….
Wait she decided to put the bad guy away instead taking a deal and folks got mad???
Yeah she told the defendant that I aint agreed to no deal. They dragged her all on the news and she had to answer to bar and the judicial committee. She quit.
Amen to that, guilty by association.
And they paint us as the aggressors. Cues christopher first degree murderer columbus.
I’m heading the hell on up outta here ain’t no justice when a white person is the accused ain’t no way he would have got a plea deal like this being black they would have stacked charges until they couldn’t think of anything else then let the jury decide where the chips fall. And they most certainly would have at all cost set his azz up like they did OJ had he got off OJ sitting in jail for dang near life for trying to take back HIS stolen property from some thugs who committed crimes and then called the cops on him ain’t that about a bih. Let me go before my pressure go up
Sadly that is the nature of “plea bargains”
That poor boy knew everything that happen to him…until the very end..My goodness..Jacob was still standing after the first shot..What a horrifying story. .you can’t write this stuff. What a demon!!! Where are the others like him? Get rid of this type of monster.

Wtf? Sick azz will get it in prison
white privilege.
He’ll be killed or die in prison either way. I hope they do him what he did to those children 50x a day.
Richard Ramirez who was “The Nightstalker” in Los Angeles in the 1980’s died in prison as a result of complications from cancer. That was shocking. If anyone deserves to be executed, he did. He terrorized the city until some brave Latinos apprehended him and held him until police arrived. If not for him, he would’ve probably continued to kill like Lonnie Franklin aka “The Grim Sleeper.” That nigga killed countless beautiful Black women over the course of at least 30 years. Smh.
But they not sick huh!!! Lowdown, inhuman animal!!!
Yep, to find the boys’s remains, poor family.
There are way more heterosexual paedophiles than homosexual. Your post advocates violence towards innocent people. Flagged.
Yeah, my stomach hurt naming the two I mentioned. I could have gone on and on. I am crime junkie and gleefully celebrate when they catch these pieces of waste of life.
Crime junkie?!. ???
I used to find myself watching movies about serial killers. There are really good movies about Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy and John Wayne Gacy. I used to watch a lot of things, having had a preoccupation with death. I don’t really keep up anymore.
I wonder if they have the family an option, if it were me I wouldn’t need the body. Him confessing is enough.
And they will keep protecting him. Most child abusers get put into protection in prison. To keep them safe away from the other inmates.
Detective, who dun it, american greed, fraud….its how I eat…not so much muder and serial killers. I Do Not litterally have a map in my bedroom with pins of unsolved cases. HA?
American Greed was my show. I like For My Man and there’s another similar show that I’ve been watching lately, Fatal Attraction.
Off-topic: I miss the show on OWN that was about cheaters. I forgot the name, but I remember seeing a marathon of the show. It contained re-enactments about couples and the party who strayed in the relationship. At the end, it stated whether or not they stayed together.
I also like shows that delve into the Mafia and certain other criminal enterprises, like Gangland. My favorite Gangland episode is the BMF ep. It rarely airs, but when it airs, I record it.
UM, because it was White in White crime and we are still outraged that he got off lightly…..however he did NOT get off entirely and with paid vacation….I mean administrative leave.
Here we go with the BS.

As unfair as it sounds I’m sure the parents had to agree to it before it was offered to him. At this point they probably just wanted what was left of their baby, SMH.
Use to watch cheaters back in 03, but Fatal Attraction, in spurts…yessss. how to get away, snapped (the dumbbest). Smh
My God! What a horrible confession!!! I am speechless. May his family finally have some closure and that baby’s soul may rest now.
So did the brother and friend not tell anyone about the man and running into the woods?
Even though the Law fails providing due justice a lot of times, justice will be served amongst the prisoners.
ikr!!
Jesus!
So, instead of the death penalty,this monster gets the old “Hi ho! Hi ho! It’s off to protective custody he go” treatment? smh

Castration with no anesthesia
So, they tested the remains & confirmed……………………………………….
Why even allow a plea deal when he confessed? Plea deals shouldn’t be allowed in cases like this! Pedophiles who admit to killing/sexually assaulting children don’t even deserve a trial, just throw them in gen pop, and let the other convicts take care of them!
Have you researched this or are you a gay apologist?
From my experience gays do not acknowledge any homosexuality in child molest cases. “They just happen to be same sex.”
So sad….
White priviledge
Black people do it to.
The grim sleeper killed prostitutes and drug addicts? I would not have called any of them beautiful.
I didn’t ask you what you’d call anyone. Goodbye.
Yes, they did. The demon heard the report of the missing kid on a scanner. Panicked and shot Jacob twice. The first shot in the head did not kill him.
Jailhouse justice. He won’t make it. He will have the same fate as poor Jacob did. Just evil plain and simple.
reading this was painful it made me cry this was so sad.
SAD!!!!
Uhm so how this happen? How is this fool about to be free….naw! This world….God what you doing….
IM SO Addicted to those two shows. I don’t know if its because its black folk or what but I can watch those 2 before I watch snapped.
They lurk after kids out alone. I used to be like why people don’t let they kids go outside…I just had mines and I get it. Me and mines will ride bikes together, skate together, hoola hoop and play with Barbie dolls in the park together. These fools out here wreckless! Its sad because I see soooo many kids outside selling water on the cornder during work house and Im trying to find out why they arse not in school! Hate to say it but some of these kids are easy prey and I have no idea what they parents could be doing while they on the corner trying to sell water bottles for a darn $1!!!
Hate seeing kids walk to bus stop by themselves. That mess scares me!!
Black people typically make shows better, IMO. There’s just a flare we bring to anything we do. And I like seeing our stories depicted by us, for us. It’s long overdue.
I didn’t want to say that!! But I was REALLY THINKING THAT ha ha ha!! Thanks……For the longest I couldn’t watch or get into snapped or the ID channel…I figured that out when they brought Fatal Attraction on and now For my Man!!!
Ill go google these people online after watching these episodes. Am I the only that do this?
It’s like that for me even when it came down to watching Jerry Springer or Maury once upon a time. The Black guests were always “lit.” They were always really animated and engaging.
I watch reality shows, but sometimes the on and off camera ignorance from certain cast members is too much. I’d love to see some reality shows revolving around successful, professional PoC. We can all use a little motivation.
Maybe we should consider honor killing for people who can commit these type of crimes. I don’t know how people can work in this field without turning into the EQUALIZER.
Yeah I agree. Remember when MTV had MTV Cribs. I hated they never showed black engineers, lawyers and doctors cribs. Made me so mad because I saw how that would lead children to thinking that being a rapper or singer would be the only way to success. I have to limit my reality TV show pleasures. I struggle watching shahs, Real House wives of BH (Don’t matter how much money you really got), Mob Wives (lost interest after season 2). The only white reality show I wish never ended was The Hills (although teeny bopperish)

I liked The Hills. But beyond The Hills, I loved Baldwin Hills. I hate the fact that shows like Baldwin Hills and College Hill were cancelled. They should’ve lasted as long as Road Rules or The Real World, but because the casts are Black…
Nothing that depicts us in a positive light manages to last long. I have been holding out hope for ages that BET would’ve resurrected Teen Summit. The fact that 106 & Park outlasted Teen Summit is an abomination.
A child murder and rapist gets to sit in jail and chill. America… America…
They found a way to charge OJ twice… and Child rapist and gets to sit in jail and kick it on the tax payers dime. He had to tell them what he did because they would have never found him… Crazy.
Well I told you anyway. I guess you kind of like me since you needed to respond n * g let.
Bitch, go finish sucking a rancid dick. Your mother is a niglet. Your father is also your uncle. Your grandfather is a transgender eunuch prostitute and your grandmother had more trains run on her than the world’s oldest train tracks.
You’ve been blocked.
You’re right.
I grew up in this area, and his family has NEVER given up HOPE, as this is what we all had as signs all over the neighborhood and state, She stated that up until this day, They always held out HOPE he was alive. This just shook our whole town back up. I’m sure they wanted him to have a proper burial.
This story broke my heart…that poor child didn’t deserve that …I’m glad that man confessed now this young angel can rest in peace and his family can now have closure…tears came to my eyes when I read this story sometimes it’s best not to read things like this it hurts?????
Killing his sick ass not good enough . He violated that sweet boy and he deserves to be tortured rape and to lose his penis ! I hope he is raped repeatedly in jail and suffers a painful slow death .
Any human that violates a helpless child or animal will suffer due justice in hell
Of course you did not, N i gl et it does not fit your narrative. Sorry your allergic to facts and logic. N i gg ers just don’t understand. Black people need to boycott N i gg ers like you.

Wow, so he confessed to abducting, killing, and raping a 10- year old boy, and only going to jail 20+ years for child pornography? #WhitePrivilegeGoals Conviction rates of Whites are extremely different that non-whites. #AmericaIsNotGreat.
must be nice to be above the law
At its worst the man is a child killer and rapist who gets away with murder Wow! Where is the justice for Jacob???????

The law is fawked up, I see why some parents have killed predators like this bish.
I’m with you and then plead insanity.
Exactly how in the hell is this justice for Jacob???
They have over and over and we know a bl@ck man wouldn’t have been given this type of option. I wonder what the child’s family said about this evil creature after he confessed.
that’s because were not the real racists. Everytime something happens to a black person the Race Card comes out automatically and the attacker or killer always has to be white. No one it seems in this case automatically assumed it was a black kidnapper???
black racists
Seriously stay in your lane. I was not speaking to you and it is impossible for me to be racist my husband is white really white from Switzerland..
They got their son back for a proper burial and they know what happened. Now if by some magic he makes it out of prison alive he will have to register as an offender and then we will all know his address and I’m sure he won’t make it another birthday after that.
