Son of Jerry Lee Wetterling and Patricia Lynn King. He was the second of their four children.
ST. JOSEPH, Minn. — Jacob Wetterling had twinkling eyes, a genuine smile and was nice to everyone at school. He loved the Minnesota Vikings, going fishing and playing hockey. He sneezed when he looked at the sun.
The summer before he disappeared in 1989, before a masked gunman stepped out of the woods on a dark rural road near his house in St. Joseph and took him, the 11-year-old boy was learning to water ski.
More than 2,800 people gathered Sunday morning for a memorial service for Jacob at the College of St. Benedict's Clemens Field House and in a nearby simulcast location. The service, which lasted an hour and 15 minutes, was filled with music, prayer and readings from the Baha'i faith. Among the dignitaries who attended were Gov. Mark Dayton, Sen. Al Franken and Sen. Amy Klobuchar.
