Brenda Bahner admits lying to police about having Jacob Wetterling at her house.

Brenda Bahner is the sister of Michael and Richard Bahner. She admitted she lied to the police when questioned after Jacob was taken. She lived 7 minutes from the abduction site where Jacob Wetterling was taken. Although this is a short clip of a longer conversation, it confirms that Brenda has information about the abduction and chose not to release this to the police. She also told police that Richard was at their grandmother's the night, which she states was also a lie.

@kleenexboxer Yeah, I just noticed that, why I'm checking these videos again, but the name Bahner isn't involved.

@kfresh1313 yeah i know..it would be nice though just for closure for the family.

@kleenexboxer Yeah, we'll see where that goes. They handed this case off to some low level officer in transportation so good luck any of this going somewhere.

I've been heartbroken about this since first hearing about it when I lived in Eastern Montana. I'm so glad that progress is being made on the case, though not surprised at all that the authorities won't pick up on it. I've seen the same sort of thing many times, people in the so called system would also be exposed.
