Despite an unparalleled effort to find him, his whereabouts remained a mystery for 27 years--until his kidnapper, arrested on another charge, confessed to Wetterling's murder and led authorities to his buried remains in September 2016.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Wetterling's disappearance--and the national media attention that followed--had far-reaching effects.
