From the Green Bay Press Gazette:
Jayme Closs' kidnapper targeted her after seeing her get on a school bus, then carefully planned her abduction and made her hide under his bed when he had visitors, according to a criminal complaint issued Monday against Jake Thomas Patterson, 21.
Patterson told police he was driving to a job at the Saputo Cheese factory west of Barron in Almena and was behind the bus when it stopped to pick up Jayme one day last fall. He worked at that job for only two days. Less than two weeks later, in the early morning hours of Oct. 15, he kidnapped 13-year-old Jayme.
“The defendant stated he had no idea who she was nor did he know who lived at the house or how many people lived at the house," the complaint says. “The defendant stated, when he saw (Jayme), he knew that was the girl he was going to take.”
Patterson decided ahead of time he would kill anyone else in the house so there would be no witnesses, and he followed through on that plan by fatally shooting Jayme’s parents with a 12-gauge shotgun, the complaint said.
Less than a minute after leaving Jayme’s house, Patterson drove past several squad cars rushing there in response to a 911 call her mother made before she was shot. They did not pull him over.
Jayme spent much of the time during the 88 days of her captivity under a twin bed in Patterson’s childhood home in Gordon. She escaped Thursday afternoon.
Jayme gave police a description of Patterson’s car, which they quickly located and pulled over. When the officer asked Patterson if he knew the reason for the stop, he immediately said: “I did it.”
He is charged with kidnapping, armed burglary and two counts of first-degree intentional homicide in the deaths of Jayme’s parents, James M. Closs, 56, and Denise J. Closs, 46. If convicted, he faces a mandatory sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole.
It seems like Patterson wanted to be famous, and was imagining which actor would play him in the movie.
He doesn't deserve any fame. He's scum.
What he did to the Closs family is unspeakably evil.
I understand the attention the case is receiving, because it reads like a movie.
Last Friday, listening to a BBC network radio program, the Jayme Closs case was included in a very brief news segment. The story is getting worldwide attention.
People in Europe and Australia are following the case.

It's important to remember that the case is not entertainment.
I don't like it being consumed that way.
Two people were murdered. A little girl experienced the violent deaths of both her parents just minutes apart. Following that horror, she was dragged out of her home and thrown into the trunk of a car, taken to a cabin, and held hostage there for 88 days by the murderer of her parents.
Jayme Closs is an amazing person. She freed herself. She escaped. This 13-year-old girl got away from that monster. What an incredibly strong and brave individual!
She is no snowflake.
She's tougher and smarter than murderer and kidnapper Jake Patterson.
Giving Patterson the notoriety he sought is a mistake.
The deaths of James and Denise Closs and the kidnapping of their daughter, Jayme Closs, are horrific crimes, not something to be exploited and sold as entertainment.
