 Standing in the same room that almost 25 years ago housed the phone bank for callers to report tips about the Jacob Wetterling abduction, Patty Wetterling on Tuesday again asked for help finding her son. 
  
 This time it was part of a billboard campaign that will see six billboards placed around the St. Cloud area. Those billboards will have Jacob's picture at the time he was abducted, an age-enhanced picture of what Jacob might look like today and a phone number to report tips, 800-THE-LOST. 
  
 "This was part of what was the command center, with all of the phone banks for people to call with information," Patty Wetterling said. "And that is our primary message today — we're still asking people to call." 
  
 Jacob was abducted Oct. 22, 1989, while biking home from the store with his brother and a friend. He hasn't been seen or heard from since. 
  
 The announcement of the billboard campaign comes eight days before the 25th anniversary of Jacob's abduction. The billboards will be up through the end of the month. 
  
 The case has generated more than 50,000 leads, said Stearns County Sheriff John Sanner, including many when the case was featured recently on CNN's program "The Hunt," with John Walsh. 
  
 "If we get tips today, we treat this case as if it happened yesterday," Sanner said. "We'll treat it with the same energy and enthusiasm as if it was one day old, not 25 years old. We will continue to do that." 
  
 Statistics from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children shows that children can be found after being missing for years. 
  
 From 2009-13, more than 160 kids who had been missing 11-20 years were found, said John Ryan, president and CEO of the center. 
  
 In the same time, 42 children who had been missing for more than 20 years were found, Ryan said. 
  
 It's that hope that buoys the Wetterlings. 
  
 Jerry Wetterling joked at the news conference Tuesday that he's the one who usually listens while Patty is the one who speaks at events like these. But he took to the podium to encourage others to listen as well. 
  
 "I would like to urge the public to listen," Jerry Wetterling said. "Listen. Listen to something that is said innocently at a cafe. ... Something you hear that when you listen, inside of your gut didn't feel right about a situation. Think back, respond." 
  
 And call law enforcement with anything that you think might help, officials said. 
  
 "We know someone has information that can finally give Patty and Jerry answers they deserve," Ryan said.

 A masked stranger grabbed the 11-year-old as he biked home from a store in St. Joseph nearly 25 years ago. Now, WCCO-TV has learned that a cluster of at least six unsolved sexual assaults on boys were never looked at as a possible lead in Wetterling’s case. 
  
 Those attacks happened two years prior to Wetterling’s kidnapping, just 30 miles away in Paynesville. They are now being investigated by the Stearns County Sheriff’s Office. 
  
 This new development in Minnesota’s most notorious kidnapping case begins in the most unlikely of places. 
  
 For four years, Joy Baker, a blogger from New London, has written a detailed blog about the Wetterling case. Last summer, her research uncovered articles in the Paynesville Press in 1986 and 1987. They detailed six unsolved sexual assaults on boys just two years before Wetterling’s abduction. 
  
 “The police chief is asking for the public’s help in finding this guy who has been assaulting 12-16 year old boys,” Baker said of one article. “What went through my mind is that they have to be connected. How many psychopathic pedophiles can exist in a 20-mile radius?” 
  
 WCCO-TV asked Patty Wetterling if she had ever heard of the Paynesville cases and showed her two of the original police reports from the Paynesville attacks. 
  
 “We did not know about these cases until Joy Baker put it on her blog, and it was like, ‘Wow,'” Patty Wetterling said. 
  
 Those reports, as well as the newspaper accounts, list a series of striking parallels with Jacob Wetterling’s kidnapping. He was abducted at 9 p.m. as he rode his bike home from a convenience store with his brother and friend. The Paynesville attacks also all happened at night as the victims were heading home. 
  
 In two cases boys were attacked while riding bikes. They were sexually assaulted. The attacker sometimes wore a mask, which in one case was described as made from candy-striped, indoor-outdoor carpeting. He had a low, gruff voice and he threatened the boys with a knife or a gun, saying he would blow their heads off. 
  
 “Some of these were taken from a group of boys. That is really rare,” Patty Wetterling said. “The threat of a gun, the age of the victims, they were close to Jacob’s age. I do think there is a strong possibility they are connected to Jacob’s case.” 
  
 While two of the Paynesville victims were questioned by law enforcement after Jacob Wetterling disappeared, one Paynesville victim, who is now 40 and did not want to be named, told WCCO-TV he and other victims he knows were not, and that to this day they feel their cases both individually and as a group were overlooked. 
  
 Patty Wetterling said it’s frustrating to learn so many years later about the Paynesville cases, but she is also understanding. 
  
 “It was a different world back then. We didn’t have the Internet, we worked hard so that each law enforcement agency had a fax machine,” she said. 
  
 Current Stearns County Sheriff John Sanner agreed the lack of Internet and the fact that small town law enforcement agencies often acted independently may have kept the Paynesville cases from becoming a significant part of the Jacob Wetterling investigation. 
  
 “We can’t look back. We are actively investigating these cases now. We want anyone with any information to come forward no matter how small. You could hold the key,” Sanner said. 
  
 ——- 
  
 Sanner stressed there is another unsolved case that investigators have always linked to the abduction. Just months before Jacob Wetterling disappeared, a stranger kidnapped a 12-year-old boy named Jared in nearby Cold Spring. Jared told WCCO-TV the threat his kidnapper left him with: “I was told to run, don’t look back or he would shoot.” 
  
 Jared is speaking out for the first time in years. On Thursday, hear why he’s convinced the same man is behind all of these unsolved crimes against boys. 
  
 If you have any information about any of these cases, please call the Stearns County Sheriff at (320) 251-4240. You can also call the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at 1-800-THE-LOST. 
  
 Read Part 2: Abduction Victim Speaks Out On Wetterling Case ||||| Billboards will blanket the St. Joseph, Minn., area in a new effort to find Jacob Wetterling, who was abducted 25 years ago this month. 
  
 Officials will announce the new campaign at a Tuesday news conference in St. Cloud. The six billboards will feature a photo of Jacob as a kid and a picture of what Jacob might look like at age 36. 
  
 Jacob was biking home from a convenience store with his brother and his best friend when a masked gunman jumped out and ordered the boys to the ground. He let the other boys go, but Jacob was never seen again. 
  
 Backed by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, the Stearns County Sheriff’s Office and the FBI, among others, the new campaign seeks the public’s help in the search. The billboards, placed in spots near the abduction, will urge anyone with information to call 1-800-THE-LOST.

Output:
Twenty-five years is a long stretch by most measures, but especially when a parent is looking for a missing child. Patty and Jerry Wetterling of Minnesota have known this interminable passing of time since their 11-year-old son, Jacob, was abducted on Oct. 22, 1989. But as the 25th anniversary of his disappearance approaches, the Wetterlings still refuse to give up their search, the St. Cloud Times reports. Six new billboards have been placed around St. Cloud with Jacob's picture as an 11-year-old, an age-enhanced photo showing what he could look like now at age 36, and the 1-800-THE-LOST phone number for tips, the Star Tribune reports. Jacob was riding his bike with his brother and a friend when they were reportedly approached by a masked gunman, who ordered the boys to get down, then took off with Jacob. More than 50,000 leads have poured in since 1989, the Times notes, including the discovery in May that six unsolved sexual assaults in the area were never examined after Jacob disappeared, WCCO reports. And keeping Jacob's case (recently featured on John Walsh's The Hunt) in the public eye is key: The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children says 42 children gone more than 20 years were found between 2009 and 2013—a fact that's not lost on those looking for Jacob. "We'll treat [a new tip] with the same energy and enthusiasm as if it was one day old, not 25 years old," the Stearns County sheriff tells the Times. Jacob's dad implores the public: "Listen to something that is said innocently at a cafe. ... Something you hear that … inside of your gut didn't feel right." The billboards will stay up through the end of October.
