That J 12,166 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Somewhere Out There is one of the saddest songs in my opinion. Baby Come To Me reminds me sooooo clearly of the 80s. He was so young too. A sad loss. The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than The Driver Of The Screw Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long story short, Jacob was kidnapped from riding home with 2 other boys on their bikes. He was less than a mile away. This was around the time this song was popular and it became the theme song from Jacob's mom to Jacob. Finally after many years, closure was given last year when a man confessed to his kidnapping and his murder. He led police to the remains. He said he took Jacob into the woods, hit him, assaulted him and told him to turn around. Jacob's last words were said thru cries..."What did I do wrong?"...and he was shot in the head. Because our system is a joke, that closure was given in a plea deal. The man will spend his life in jail for child pics of a bad nature but NO CHARGES FILED on Jacob. His mother said she needed the closure more. Proceeds from the rerelease of this song went to the Jacob Wetterling Foundation. A terribly sad story but James Ingram joined the fight for Jacob and I always found that such a good gesture. . "It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky..." Give Jacob a hug for his mom, Mr Ingram! The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than The Driver Of The Screw Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
