MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – Federal authorities in Minnesota are investigating a man in the disappearance of Jacob Wetterling, whose mother became a national advocate for the cause of missing children after his abduction in 1989.
Authorities say 52 year old Daniel James Heinrich, of Annandale, was identified after being the subject of a child pornography investigation.
The U.S. Attorney’s office said Thursday a search warrant had been executed seeking evidence in a 1989 kidnapping near Cold Spring and Wetterling’s disappearance near St. Joseph.
Heinrich has not been charged in either of those cases but does face charges from a long-term child exploitation investigation.
Heinrich has denied involvement in the disappearance of Wetterling, who was 11 years old at the time.
When asked if Heinrich was a suspect in the Wetterling case Stearns County Sheriff John Sanner said “we refer to him as a person of interest.”
Authorities said most of the child pornography involved young boys. Also found were video tapes Heinrich apparently shot of young boys in public.
Heinrich made an initial court appearance on the pornograpy charges Thursday in U.S. District Court in St. Paul.
An application for a search warrant in that case said authorities wanted to search for items including human remains, a red T-shirt with the name Wetterling on the back and a red hockey team jacket with the name Jacob stitched on the front.
The search was carried out July 28.
Wetterling was 11 when he was abducted Oct. 22, 1989, near his home in the central Minnesota community of St. Joseph.
Patty and Jerry Wetterling issued a statement urging anyone who knows anything about Heinrich and his possible ties to the St. Joseph area in 1989 to call authorities.
The statement said, “The search for Jacob is an ongoing investigation and we will watch and learn like everyone else. Right now we know what is being reported. We know what you all know.”
The Wetterlings also thanked everyone involved in the investigation so far.
“We are so grateful for the prayers, the support and the hope shared in our search for Jacob and the search for answers.”
MINOT, N.D. (AP) – The former superintendent and high school principal in Sawyer who was charged last spring with sex crimes involving a teenage boy is now accused of having two more victims.
Authorities on Wednesday filed three more sex crime-related charges against 51-year-old Charles Soper. Minot Police Capt. John Klug says investigators uncovered additional evidence and identified two additional victims.
Defense attorney Eric Baumann was out of the office Thursday morning and not immediately available for comment. Soper faced an initial hearing Thursday afternoon on the new charges. He pleaded not guilty earlier to other charges including human trafficking.
Soper now faces eight charges. He could face life in prison without parole if convicted of the more serious allegations. He has resigned from the school and remains in the Ward County jail.
WATFORD CITY, N.D. (AP) – Authorities have identified a Georgia man who was killed when struck by a semitrailer in the western North Dakota oil patch.
The Highway Patrol says 20-year-old Benjamin Enterman, of Warner Robins, Georgia, was taking measurements on state Highway 23 in McKenzie County for an engineering company on Tuesday afternoon when he was struck. He died at the scene.
The Arizona man driving the semi was not hurt. No charges were immediately filed in the incident.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A federal judge has awarded legal fees to a national gay rights group that sued North Dakota on behalf of a same-sex couple.
However, U.S. District Judge Ralph Erickson awarded only $57,000, less than half of the $124,000 that Lambda Legal and the Minneapolis-based Faegre Baker Daniels law firm had been seeking.
Erickson said in his ruling that the hourly rate requested for attorneys who worked on the case was too high, that some work was duplicative and that there was “an excessive amount of time spent on simple issues.”
Lambda Legal filed a lawsuit in June 2014 on behalf of Fargo couple Jan Jorgensen and Cindy Phillips. The couple married in Minnesota and sued North Dakota because the state wouldn’t recognize their marriage.
MINOT, N.D. (AP) – Officials in Minot are preparing to open a $94 million airport terminal in four months.
Work began on the facility two years ago and city spokesman Bob Lindee says it’s now about 90 percent complete. The last of four jetways was installed this week.
Officials have scheduled an open house on Feb. 20. The last flight into the current terminal will be Feb. 28, and the inaugural flight at the new terminal will be the following day.
Minot is on the edge of the western oil patch, and passenger numbers at the airport have tripled in recent years. The new terminal will be able to handle about 300,000 annual boardings.
Minot is served by Delta, United and Allegiant. Lindee says the city hopes to attract at least one more airline.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Annual fall fish surveys in North Dakota show a good year on Lake Sakakawea behind Garrison Dam.
They also indicate that the Missouri River below the dam is slowly recovering from major flooding four years ago.
The 2011 Missouri River flood caused by heavy spring snowmelt and rains flushed fish through the dam and changed the river channel downstream. That hurt fish numbers and also damaged sandbar and backwater areas and side channels, where fish like to reproduce.
State Game and Fish Department surveys this year found that Lake Sakakawea is producing good catches of walleye and young perch.
Fisheries official Scott Gangl (GANG’-uhl) says that on the river, more adult game fish are showing up between the dam and Bismarck downstream, though reproduction remains poor.

WASHINGTON (AP) – A spokesman says President Barack Obama is hoping he’ll be able to work together with Paul Ryan, the new speaker of the House. Obama spokesman Josh Earnest says the president has spoken in the past of his respect for Ryan despite the significant differences they have on policy. He says Obama reached out to Ryan Wednesday and wished him well. Ryan was elected speaker in a House vote Thursday morning.
WASHINGTON (AP) – The White House is welcoming China’s move to end its “one-child” policy but says the decision doesn’t go far enough. China said Thursday it will allow all married couples to have two children, signaling the end after 35 years of the unpopular “one-child” policy. The White House calls it a positive step, but adds that the U.S. is looking forward to the day when birth limits in China are abandoned altogether.
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) – Prosecutors are asking a judge to sentence a graduate of an elite New Hampshire prep school to between three and a-half and seven years in prison for using a computer to lure a younger classmate to a nearly deserted school building where he sexually assaulted her. They say they also want 20-year-old Owen Labrie of Vermont to complete a sex offender program. The trial exposed a practice of sexual conquest at the school in which graduating students try to have sex with underclassmen. Labrie also faces life on the state’s sexual offender registry.
DANIA BEACH, Fla. (AP) – The Fort Lauderdale, Florida airport has been shut down Thursday afternoon after a jet fire sent passengers scrambling down evacuation slides. Some injuries are reported after the engine fire on a Dynamic Airways Boeing 767. Meanwhile, a recording that aired on a TV station (WSVN) revealed that an air traffic controller warned the pilot that the engine was leaking fuel before it suddenly caught fire. The plane was taxiing for departure for Venezuela when the fire began.
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) – New York’s governor has canceled his World Series fundraisers — in which donors were paying $5,500 a ticket for Games 3 and 4 between the Mets and the Kansas City Royals at Citi Field. Editorial writers had accused Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo of scalping tickets. And activists questioned how the campaign could buy 40 tickets when most fans are limited to two apiece. The campaign says it bought the tickets from the Mets using traditional channels. Cuomo flew to Game 1 in Kansas City on a plane owned by the team’s owners.
