Suspect chose Jayme Closs because he saw her boarding school bus, according to complaint

The suspect in the disappearance of 13-year-old Jayme Closs and the murder of her parents in the family's Barron County, Wisconsin residence on Oct. 15 reportedly told authorities he decided to abduct her after seeing her boarding a school bus.

That's according to the criminal complaint filed against 21-year-old Jake Thomas Patterson Monday. He was due to make his first court appearance later Monday afternoon.

The complaint lists two counts of first-degree homicide, one count of kidnapping and one count of armed burglary.

Patterson was arrested Thursday in Gordon, Wisconsin - shortly after authorities say Jayme was able to escape from a home at which she was being held when Patterson was out.

She approached a woman who was walking her dog for help. That woman took Jayme to a neighbor's residence where they called 911. A description Jayme provided led to Patterson's arrest a short time later.

Jayme's parents James and Denise were found dead at their Barron County residence on Oct. 15, and Jayme had not been seen since.

According to the complaint, Patterson confessed to killing James and Denise and kidnapping Jayme. He allegedly told authorities he worked at a cheese factory south of Almena - which is also in Barron County - for two days before quitting. On his drive to the cheese factory on one of his two mornings there, he had stopped behind a school bus on Highway 7 and said he watched Jayme get on.

You, and the others, may indeed be correct.

We’ll have to see how it all shakes out in the end.

He should be marched out the back door to an awaiting Gallows and hanged then and there.


Don’t disagree, but apparently the people of Wisconsin do. They abolished the death penalty before the Civil War. So unless something happens to him in prison, he’s going to be taken care of by the Wisconsin taxpayer for a long time.

It said in the report that there were women’s diapers around.

Equally so, women (or girls of age) under severe traumatic circumstances will often have a cessation of menses.

I hope the young girl is not involved in some way, but I have this feeling.....
*************************************************
Yes, the 21 year-old’s confession is all too pat. He must be taking the fall for the 13 year old vixen who he helped escape after she murdered her parents. He went to the girl’s house in a vain attempt to stop her murders but got there seconds too late. You having that type of “feeling”? /s

They must have been the generic, true diaper-like pads. They still exist for ease of use in hospitals. Otherwise, I would hope if it were female someone should have noticed, if they knew him, I guess.

“No, he didn’t “Need” to do anything for her. He was holding her captive and didn’t care if she suffered.”
____________________________________

Actually, this is a true case of “Need.”

Unless the kidnapper wanted to have menstrual blood flow over everything it would need to be contained. Now, as to what level of comfort he wanted her at, yes, that’s a debatable issue. Since he had her in his residence and in many cases literally under his bed, he would indeed “Need” to have something on hand for her use.

Hoping she was just a spoiled slut who caused the whole thing? So, far, nobody has come forth to say they saw her talking or anywhere near the perp...can’t imagine all the kids in her age group missing something like that.
