BARRON, Wis. (WBAY) — Newly released photos from the family of Jayme Closs say she is ‘full of big smiles’ Saturday.
Jayme’s aunt, Jennifer Smith, posted the photos on Facebook.
In the post, Jennifer writes ‘Everyone is so proud of you, Jayme!!’
Closs was found alive nearly three months to the day she was abducted from her western Wisconsin home where her parents were found shot and killed. A 911 call was placed from Denise Closs’s cell phone. Jayme was inside the home when her parents were killed. She was gone by the time police arrived on scene.
Sheriff Fitzgerald says Jayme was being held against her will in a home in the Douglas County community of Gordon, about an hour north of Barron. At some point on Thursday, she escaped the home on foot and found her way to safety.
Douglas County Sheriff Tom Dalbec says his office received a 911 call at about 4:30 p.m. saying Jayme Closs had been located. Jayme had approached a woman who was out walking her dog. That woman brought Jayme to the home of neighbors Peter and Kristin Kasinskas. They called for help.
Patterson was quickly identified as a suspect and taken into custody. It took about 11 minutes to find him.
The 21-year-old suspect has been arrested and will appear in court on Monday.
