Editing Danny Heinrich (section)

==Aftermath==
The attacks remained unsolved for 27 years. Heinrich was ultimately arrested by the FBI in a [[Child Pornography|child pornography]] investigation. In August 2016 he led authorities to Wetterling's body as part of his plea deal.

Heinrich claimed remorse, stating he spent the time since the murder thinking about the victim and attempting to find a way to anonymously give up the body's location. He lived in Paynesville and was a suspect, so he felt he would inevitably be caught if he did so. Heinrich further claimed he did not want his family to suffer by his imprisonment.

He further claimed to have himself suffered sexual abuse as a child, to have had a difficult upbringing, and to have suffered a head injury as a child.

Heinrich is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence at the Federal Medical Center, Devens, in Harvard, Massachusetts.
