“The search area is going to be one mile west of the scene to the city limits of Turtle Lake. We’re searching the ditch line of State Trunk Highway 8. The east and west bound ditch lines of Highway 8. We’re not doing extensive wooden searches. There’s no aerial assets involved today. It’s engaging the civilian core to help us out to search a large area, looking for any items of interest. What that may be, we don’t know until we see it.”

Search for Jayme Closs enters 4th day as Wisconsin police prepare to comb area near girl's home
Authorities on Thursday prepared to comb through the area near the Wisconsin home where 13-year-old Jayme Closs vanished after her parents were murdered while she was inside, prompting a massive search that entered its fourth day.

Barron County Sheriff’s Department asked for 100 volunteers to meet at the intersection of State Highway 8 and 16th Street to help assist officers looking for Closs, who Sheriff Chris Fitzgerald said was inside the home when her parents, James and Denise Closs, were shot and killed in a town about 80 miles northeast of Minneapolis, Minn.

“At this time, we are requesting the public’s assistance in conducting a routine search for articles of evidentiary value that may be related to the incident,” the department wrote on its Facebook page.

[Pi Thoughts]

Since authorities received a cryptic 911 call and discovered the bodies of Jayme's parents in their home near the town of Barron early Monday, investigators have received more than 400 tips and have not confirmed any credible sightings of the girl.
But the sheriff said he has a "100% expectation that she's alive."

What we know about disappearance of Wis. girl Jayme Closs

I wonder how they know with certainty that Jayme is alive?

What We Know About the Missing Teen Whose Parents Were Shot to Death

Closs's disappearance shattered the peace in Barron, a county in Northwestern Wisconsin that last year had an estimated population of 45,251 and three homicides, but zero murders the two previous years, according to statistics from the state’s Department of Justice.

The search for the teen girl has led to wild speculation by Internet sleuths that she was abducted by human sex traffickers, along with one more promising lead that appeared to be a dud. But as Barron County’s top law enforcement official has scrambled to control the flow of information, the search for Closs has highlighted how technological advances don’t always make it any easier or faster to find missing kids.

Closs’s disappearance conjured up memories of another high profile missing teenager case from 16 years ago. On June 5, 2002, 14-year-old Elizabeth Smart vanished from her house in Salt Lake City, Utah. She turned up nine months later approximately 18 miles away after police received tips from two callers who had seen a man named Brian David Mitchell, a suspect in Smart’s disappearance.

There’s one big difference in the Closs disappearance: So far, Fitzgerald, whose investigation is getting an assist from the FBI, has been careful to avoid suggesting Jayme was kidnapped.

But Lauth pointed to the remoteness of the location—it’s not in a city blanketed with cameras—as a serious obstacle. “When a neighbor’s camera captures an unusual car or an unusual person going by, the camera becomes the smoking gun to solving a crime,” he explained.

Jayme Closs: FBI Atlanta now asking people in Georgia to be on lookout for missing Wisconsin teen
The FBI's Atlanta field office is now asking the public throughout the state to be on the lookout for 13-year-old Jayme Closs.

The FBI will be posting digital billboards of the missing poster for Closs across the country, including here in Georgia.

Right now, investigators have no specific information on the search for Closs within Georgia, but the FBI is spreading the teen's photo nationwide in hopes of finding her.

Former Minneapolis Homicide Investigator Offers Insight Into Search for Barron County Teen
Martin contends that the more investigators begin to rule things out, the more they might have to rule in the possibility that the person or persons responsible have no connection to the Closs family whatsoever.

"If you asked me on the first day this occurred, I would have said those odds are very low," Martin said of the chances a complete stranger abducted Jayme.

"Unfortunately, those odds are getting greater as they eliminate other possibilities."

Dozens of volunteers help in foot search for missing Wisconsin 13-year-old
One of the volunteers was Jerry Carpenter, who showed up from nearby Almena with daughter Kelsey and their bulldog-lab mix JoJo. “We’re here to support the community and help find Jayme,” said Carpenter, whose sentiments were echoed by others joining the effort. “We live 8 miles from the house. It’s just too close to home.

Roughly 2 hours into the search, Fitzgerald said, “nothing of evidentiary value has been recovered.” Fitzgerald said that if more volunteers were needed, “we will make those requests via social media,” he wrote.

An online fundraising campaign was started Wednesday to support relatives of the Closses with expenses in the wake of the killings. One of those behind the effort, Michelle Saffert, said he children and Jayme “have spent a lot of time growing up.”

Saffert said, “We love that family. We’ve been friends of that family for a long time. We just want Jayme to get home. She’s a great kid who comes from a good family.”

OCT 18, 2018 911 CALL
Dozens of volunteers help in foot search for missing Wisconsin 13-year-old
JS and her husband, TS, had gone to bed about 12:15 a.m. Monday when minutes later she said she heard "BOOM!" Within seconds came another but more muffled bang.

"Was that a gunshot?" she asked her husband.

"Yeah, from a really big gun," he told her.

Hearing gunshots in this rural and wooded community isn't unusual. "Maybe it's just a neighbor trying to keep a bear away from their dog," TS said to his wife.

About a half hour later, JS got out of bed, as she often does. Their English shepherd seemed to be snuffing around a bit, too, so she looked out her front windows to see what was up. But, she said, she saw nothing unusual.

What she didn't know was police were responding to a 911 call to the Closs residence about 200 yards away. She figured she wasn't aware because deputies didn't turn on the sirens, and the dense woods and brush between the homes would have kept her from seeing the emergency lights.

"I should have called police," she added. "Maybe I could have saved Jayme. … I want to tell her I'm sorry."

Wisconsin authorities are desperately searching for #JaymeCloss. The 13-year-old was likely at her family's home when her parents were shot dead, and she vanished moments later, investigators believe. Her whereabouts and safety are still in question: https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/17/us/wisconsin-missing-girl-jayme-closs/index.html …
