Re: "I have heard absolutely nothing about this case since Spring ... so I would love to know what lines you found to read between." On 5/6/04 KARE 11 reported this with reference to Jacob (most likely linked with Josh): "Investigators are very confident they will finally solve it." Rick Kupchella then added: "There are a few very specific suspects, and those suspects know who they are, they know they are suspects" and "Authorities may be on the verge of identifying the man who kidnapped Jacob Wetterling." About a month later, someone in the Twin Cities familiar with aspects of the investigation named three suspects. Discussions with other sources suggest that the investigation has entered the prosecutorial phase. Also, if you think about it, the most plausible reason for the media’s silence in this matter is that they have been asked by law enforcement to refrain from commenting on progress in the case, so as to avoid public hysteria and undue adverse impact on innocent entities.
