About the Program:
On October 22, 1989, in the small town of St. Joseph, Minnesota, eleven-year-old Jacob Wetterling was kidnapped at gunpoint. 
The disappearance of Jacob was a story that haunted Minnesota and transformed the nation. In this special author visit, Patty Wetterling shares the intimate, behind-the-scenes account of those decades - not just as a search for a missing son, but as a testament to a mother’s unwavering love and a community’s resilience. Together with Joy Baker, the blogger whose independent research helped lead to the breakthrough in the case, they will discuss the bond they formed and the power of never giving up.

Patty Wetterling is a national advocate, visionary and educator on the prevention of child abduction and exploitation.

Joy Baker works as an independent marketing consultant, professional copywriter, and writing coach. 

The program is free and open to the public.  Light refreshments will be served.  Programs at the Lyon County Museum are sponsored by members.  For more information, contact the Lyon County Museum at 507-537-6580.
