Parents of Minnesota boy who vanished in 1989 seek new clues
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The parents of a Minnesota boy abducted 26 years ago say they have as many questions as everyone else after federal authorities identified a "person of interest" in the case.
Patty and Jerry Wetterling gave brief statements Tuesday outside their central Minnesota home, not far from where their 11-year-old son Jacob was abducted in 1989.
Last week, authorities identified 52-year-old Daniel James Heinrich as a "person of interest" in Jacob's disappearance, but refused to call him a suspect. They say Heinrich has denied involvement. He faces unrelated child pornography charges.
