I don’t know how this has slipped past me.
I don’t know if my friends purposely chose not to mention this to me, or were waiting for me to mention it to them.
Vernon Seitz / Jacob Wetterling.
I dont want to beleive my eyes or my ears- I don’t want to hear what I am hearing.
I dont understand how he is being over looked. I dont understand how he is being dismissed…. grant it he’s now dead- but anyone whose watched enough t.v. knows this man is questionable.
So the Milwaukee barber ( yes, Milwaukee again) confessed to his therapist and urged her to tell the police that he committed two murders.
Both he explained away…
But this is where it gets delicate…and may go seriously wrong.
Vernon, in response to the abduction of Jacob Wetterling comes to St. Joseph, spends a week in a hotel to help search.
Now there may seem to be nothing unusual about that since Jacob was then and still is a concern to us.
Or was Vernon already here, in the area?
Claiming to be a psychic he thought he could help- odd. ( Although this wasnt the only missing child case he went to with the intent to help).
Is it unlikely for a killer to return to the scene of the crime? No.
Although strange, the mental condition of Vernon may have prompted his “need” to be around and help find Jacob… A need to relate to the victims?
In St. Joseph he talks openly and candidly about a crime that happened to him as a young boy. He reports to have been abducted by a group of men that beat, abused and sexually violated him and then proceeded to force him to murder another boy. He also watched a second teen be killed.
Now that may seem unusual to us but those kinds of experinces were rampant in that era of time. If you were to examine the profiles of some of the most notorious serial killers, especially those with sadistic compulsions towards children, you’ll find a lot of similiarites:
Broken homes, early deliquency, childhood sexual abuse, torture, physical and psychological abuse… often in the hands of parents. There is early on-set chemical issues, criminal tendencies, and a honed ability to manipulate.
Did he seek some absolution there in St. Joseph? Maybe he has regrets- what if, what if he had played out the psychic card better and brought closure? There is no way, if he did do something to Jacob considering the severity in which we all cared he would have led anyone to him. The price would have been too high- he couldnt have done it…he wanted something different- to matter.
Apparently it was when Jacob went missing Vernon was reminded of his own abuse and wanted to help… it’s what put him into therapy… guilt!
So at some point a warrant gets served, and guess what they find?
Child porn /pictures of tortured children / tools of sadism/ pictures of missing children/ books on cannaslism /children’s things such as shoes, clothes- possibly keepsakes? mementos? Things ot hold on to?
Tell me- that doesnt fit familiar profiles?
As revolting as it may be to think about the Wesley Dodd’s, Otis Toole’s, John Gacy’s of the world haven’t gone away. Those particular killers -yes but they still exist. They live among us and we wouldnt know none the wiser. I am sad, sorry, and wounded by the news that he has been ruled out and that his confessions are being scoffed at…
You’d be surprised at how many serial killers tried to stop themselves historically by turning themselves in to police. And were ignored. One of is linked to more then 180 murders- and then suddenly they get caught on a traffic ticket.
Do I think Vernon was a serial killer? so far- but need more background information.
His confessions may have been just a beginning…
What I really need to know about is what is up with Milwaukee and cannibals? Dont talk to boys there?
For the record, the police nor Jacob’s family beleive that Vernon is responsible for Jacob’s kidnapping. There is nothing to lead them to beleive….
As for me- I want answers we wont ever get about who this man truly, madly and deeply was.

I think that Milwaukee police need some retraining. They have previously messed up beleiving a monster to be innocent. The Wetterlings hope their son is still alive as do the rest of us who remember when Jacob went missing. Our parents watched us a little closer and held us a little closer, looked at strangers a little harder and longer. To link this dead man to their sons being missing is to admit their primary link is no longer here to answer their questions or for their actions. I think he knew what happened or was involved in a child porn slave ring and could have ended the suffering for a little boy and his family. There is a place after death for people like Vern. May he burn.
