The Minnesota Department of Transportation is holding an open house on future plans to expand Highway 23 to four lanes between Paynesville and Richmond.
A farm about a mile east of Paynesville, along old Highway 23, is the place where Jacob Wetterling's remains were found last week, after nearly 27 years of search. Doug Voss of Paynesville says when authorities knocked on his door last week, saying they wanted to search his property, he didn't know what to think.
There have been unconfirmed reports that remains were recently found that are those of Jacob Wetterling. KARE 11-TV is reporting that Patty Wetterling has confirmed that the remains are Jacob. KSTP-TV reports that over the last few days searchers have been in Stearns County looking for the remains of Jacob Wetterling.
A Paynesville woman was hurt in a broadside crash in Clara City on Friday night. The crash happened just before 5:20 p.m. at the intersection of Highway 23 and Highway 7.
