ST. JOSEPH, Minn. - Investigators are at a St. Joseph property near where 11-year-old Jacob Wetterling was abducted in 1989.

Neighbors report seeing several unmarked law enforcement vehicles Wednesday morning at the property. Aerial photos taken by the St. Cloud Times show as many as 17 vehicles, all-terrain vehicles and trailers on the property.

FBI spokesman E.K. Wilson says the FBI is assisting in search warrant operations in the area.

Patty Wetterling, Jacob's mother, has been in politics a few times, most recently losing to Michele Bachmann in 2006.

I do hope whatever's going on at that property brings some closure. This is such a sad story, all around.
