Despite an unparalleled effort to find him, his whereabouts remained a mystery for 27 years--until his kidnapper, arrested on another charge, confessed to Wetterling''s murder and led authorities to his buried remains in September 2016.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e   Wetterling''s disappearance--and the national media attention that followed--had far-reaching effects. No longer was small-town America considered safe from the exploitation of children. In 1993, Congress passed the Jacob Wetterling Act, setting up a nationwide registry for offenders convicted of crimes against children.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e   Based in part on earlier publications by the author, this detailed account chronicles the decades-long search for Wetterling and his abductor.
