“Thirty-five years ago on this day—October 22—our 11-year-old son Jacob was stolen from us and our lives changed forever.” In the years after Jacob’s disappearance, his mother, Patty Wetterling, helped found the Jacob Wetterling Resource Center, which provides victim assistance to families of missing children and adults, as well as educates families and communities to prevent the abductions and sexual exploitations of children.
