GORDON, Wisconsin – The man accused of kidnapping Jayme Closs and killing her parents in October had "absolutely" no contact with the family before the brutal slayings, her aunt told Fox News, as the first glimpse of the home where the teenager was allegedly held for months was revealed on Sunday.

Authorities in northern Wisconsin removed the barricade blocking the house in rural Gordon on Sunday morning, where authorities say brave 13-year-old Jayme Closs escaped captivity last Thursday.

Investigators had closed off the entire neighborhood for days as they carefully gathered evidence inside the home of Jayme’s suspected captor, 21-year-old Jake Thomas Patterson. So far, police have not given any details on what type of conditions the house might contain.

The home where Closs was allegedly held captive has two structures -- a two-story house and then a two car garage with what appears to be a boat covered by tarps.

Where did the 21 yrs old pervert get the money for that home?

It’s his dads vacation place.

Well, then he wasn’t going to be able to keep her secreted there forever. I think we got really, really lucky that she had the gumption to escape.

I think so. Also, his brother is a registered sex offender because he met someone on the internets who he thought was 15.

Along the lines of what my theory (FWIW) is.

He was likely trolling the internet and social media, looking for an opportunity such as this.

I’ve been following this story since day one. The one thing that always struck me was the number of selfie style pictures that she had taken. Young kids who take lots of selfies tend to post them to social media. It happens.

I also believe that he may have been an avid computer gamer.

Grand Theft Auto kinda stuff.

He knew how to quickly breach a door with a gauge and storm a building, overwhelming and killing the parents. I’ll bet it was quick.

JMHO.

Of the men who view porn, 99.9% do not murder or abduct kids and kidnap them for months. So I’m not sure we can rightfully blame porn.

When a specific person asserts that, you may address it. What you posted is baseless, generalized libel.

From the article:

“The Barron County Sheriff, Chris Fitzgerald, backs up the family’s claim stating that so far there is no traceable communication between Patterson and the Closses.”

““The suspect had specific intentions to kidnap Jayme and went to great lengths to prepare to take her,” Fitzgerald said at a press conference. The Sheriff said Patterson even shaved his head to alter his appearance and to avoid leaving behind traceable hair at the scene.”

>>>>>FWIW in earlier FR posts about this, I saw two different references to the possibility that he was her boyfriend and she planned it with him.<<<<<

to which neither the media nor law enforcement has suggested this is the case.

the girl is 13, Let’s give her the benefit of the doubt and hope the authorities are smart enough to let her resume whatever normal life she may be able to live after this mess

Ed Gein lived in Plainfield, which is hardly the north woods of Wisconsin. It is in central Wisconsin where potatoes are grown.

I don’t know about that statistic, but won’t challenge it.

However, you will find that almost every perp who has committed sexual crimes against young girls is porn addicted.

Sure, there are trees and lakes there, but it’s not the north woods of Wisconsin’s. It’s south of Green Bay and Stevens Point which are Basucally the midpoint between north and south in the state.

The writers are overly careful to always used “alleged” and “claimed” when it comes to this victim’s captivity.

Use of those words means nothing. They are magic words intended to ward off evil spirits otherwise known as lawyers.

I know it very well. Somewhere between Wausau and Tomahawk you start to pick up the true north woods of lakes, pines and birch. There are plenty of woodsy areas in the bottom 2/3's of the state though as well as the flatter, open dairy and farming lands.

I think the world in general and Jaime Closs in particular are very lucky because it seems she is victim #1.

Common sense dictates that he saw her somehow. To quote Hannibal Lecter, "we begin by coveting what we see every day."

Looks like I was right. The attacker alleges deciding to take her after seeing her get on the school bus.

Exactly...He saw her and was obsessed then started his plan. He’s a real nutjob, maybe paranoid schizophrenic?
