I’m just seeing this stuff for the first time. Can you link to where it is being discussed elsewhere? Do we know why the sheriff would lie?
Just google Jayme Closs. It was all over national news.
Outside Barron, WI, around Oct. 4, this creepy low life looser guy, Patterson, who couldn’t keep a job over a couple days and washed out of the Marines spotted 13 year old Jaymie as she boarded her morning school bus (or so he claims) and decided that’s the girl he was going to kidnap. Two weeks later, at 1 am, he came up to her house and blew her father away when he came to the door. Then he busted down the bathroom door where Jayme and her mom were hiding. The mom called 911 on her cell but the sheriff claims they weren’t able to understand anything but yelling. Patterson then taped Jayme’s mouth and legs and blew her mama’s head off in front of her and dragged Jayme to the car trunk.
He then drove (his sister’s car) off and within seconds pulled over to allow the Barron Co. deputies pass on their way to the Closs house. One deputy reports to have seen the only car on the road that night as Patterson’s maroon Taurus but two different vehicles were put out to the public so no one knew to look for the Taurus. He drove to his father’s home an hour away outside Gordon, WI and kept her basically under his twin sized bed for 88 days. He put weights in totes around the bed and threated her if she moved them or made noise when anyone came to the house. He said his father would visit on Saturdays.
The house is owned by the father but sonny boy had been living there alone. He really had no known source of income so it is speculated daddy was supporting him with free rent and bringing him food and/or spending money. The car wasn’t his but his sister’s.
Grandpa and classmates say he’s smart but didn’t socialize. At 15, he had his one and only gf whom he scared off with his mood swings and the end came when he threw a dead dog’s head at her. Pictures with family and at school show him very awkward with his hands in his pockets. One class picture shows him in the background alone with his head in a book or laptop.
August 2015, after graduating from HS, he joined the Marines but was kicked out in no time for not being Marine material (can’t think of the exact wording).
On Jan. 15, he left his trash dump of a house to go to his mother’s house in a nearby small town where he supposedly posted a job application. While he was gone, Jayme escaped wearing only a shirt, leggings and a pair of his too big shoes on the wrong feet. Very near the house, she approached a woman walking her dog and asked for help. The woman, a retired child protective worker, recognized her and took her to a neighbor’s house where 911 was called. Those neighbors happen to be a middle school teacher of Patterson’s and a retired cop. The cop stood ready with his weapon until the deputies arrived.
When the deputies were taking Jayme, they passed Patterson’s car as he was out looking for her. One deputy turned to pull him over and he immediately said he’d done it and was arrested.
