MINNEAPOLIS (Reuters) - The remains of an 11-year-old boy abducted in 1989 while riding his bicycle near his home in central Minnesota have been found and were officially identified on Saturday, authorities said. Jacob Wetterling, whose parents Patty and Jerry Wetterling became tireless advocates for missing children after his disappearance, was identified by dental records, the Stearns County, Minnesota, sheriff said in a statement. Wetterling was abducted near his St. Joseph home in October 1989 while riding a bicycle with his brother and a friend. U.S. Attorney Andrew Luger said in October 2015 the statute of limitations had run out on the sexual assault and Heinrich had denied any involvement in Wetterling’s disappearance. Authorities searched Heinrich’s home in July 2015, finding child pornography in three-ring binders and on a computer hard drive.
