Suspect admits he randomly selected Jayme Closs to abduct
Prior to the night of the abduction, Patterson began planning to take Jayme Closs. He stole license plates and placed them on his red car. He disconnected the dome light in his vehicle "so that when he exited or entered the vehicle it would not illuminate his presence." He also removed the trunk light.

Patterson also admitted he wiped down shotgun shells and used gloves while loading his shotgun, making sure to not leave behind any DNA or fingerprints. He also "shaved his face and shaved all his head hair off and showered before leaving his house. (Patterson) stated he did this so he that he would not leave any DNA or hair at the scene."

When Patterson arrived at his rural home, he ordered Jayme to go into his bedroom and remove all her clothing. After she had disrobed, he put her clothes in a bag. "(Patterson) stated he then took her clothing, the duct tape, and the two pair of gloves he had worn and threw them into a wood fireplace in the basement of the house."

Patterson admitted he randomly selected Jayme Closs to kidnap after seeing her at the bus stop. He "never met (Jayme) through any social media sites and only learned her name after the abduction and when he got back to his house," the complaint states. "(Patterson) stated he learned the names of the two people he shot and killed after seeing their names reported on multiple news programs and social media."

Charges: Suspect taped Jayme's hands, ankles, dragged her to car
A jailed Patterson appeared Monday afternoon via video hookup in Barron County District Court, where he heard the charges against him in connection with the deaths of James and Denise Closs and the abduction of Jayme, who sought help along a road near Gordon upon escape.

Judge James Babler agreed with the prosecution and set bail at $5 million for Patterson, pointing out the seriousness of the charges, the prospect of spending life in prison if convicted and the great lengths the defendant went to conceal the crimes while a fugitive. The defense requested an unspecified lesser amount.

Decked in full jail orange, Patterson sat at a table with a member of his defense team to his right and the charging document in front of him over the 9-minute hearing and answered every question from the judge calmly and with full understanding. He sat with his hands folded at his waist, adjusting his glasses and rubbing his face.

Prosecutors also said Monday afternoon that additional charges based on unspecified allegations could be coming out of Douglas County, where the Patterson property is located, before the defendant is back in Barron County Circuit Court in Barron on Feb. 6.

He spotted Jayme Closs at a bus stop, then launched a deadly plan to kidnap her, police say

“And he showed up at a home in rural Wisconsin in a black coat and a balaclava with one purpose: to kidnap a 13-year-old girl whose name he didn’t even know.

Prosecutors laid out in detail these steps they say Jake Patterson took as he planned the kidnapping of Jayme Closs last year — an act planned after Patterson saw the girl at a bus stop — in a criminal complaint released Monday.“

Man charged with kidnapping Jayme Closs and murdering her parents sits emotionless in court | Daily Mail Online

Jake Patterson's father wept openly, as the charges against his son were read out in court today and bail set at $5 million.

Patterson was not present but appeared via videolink. He sat impassive, dressed in orange prison jumpsuit as the charges were read. His father's shoulders rocked with tears at the sight of him.

Asked if he had been appraised of the charges Patterson answered a strong, 'Yes sir.'

As the first charge was read - that of intentional homicide - Patterson's father, Patrick, let out an anguished wail.

In contrast his youngest son sat impervious. He looked down, following the wording of the complaint as the judge read aloud.

Patterson's older brother, Erik, and father Patrick (pictured together) were the only family present for him in court. They refused to answer questions following the hearing and Patrick shook his head when asked if he knew what had happened at the cabin


Patterson's brother Erik wore a blue and black hooded jacket and sat hunched forward. His father, seated next to him, was dressed in a grey pin stripe suit. He took his glasses from his nose as he sat down and held them in his hands. He fretted with them briefly

Kidnapping suspect discharged early from US Marines
A Wisconsin man suspected of abducting 13-year-old Jayme Closs washed out of the U.S. Marine Corps after little more than a month.

Jake Thomas Patterson wrote in his high school yearbook that he planned to join the Marines after graduation. But military records show he lasted for only about five weeks before being prematurely discharged in October 2015 at the rank of private.

Marine spokeswoman Yvonne Carlock said by email that Patterson’s early discharge indicated “the character of his service was incongruent with Marine Corps’ expectations and standards.”

Charging documents reveal suspect's tactics, horrific new details in Jayme Closs kidnapping
The complaint details how carefully Patterson allegedly planned the crime.

Patterson used his father's 12-gauge Mossberg shotgun because it is commonly used and he thought it would be more difficult to trace, according to the complaint. It says he chose the gauge to do the most damage, and wiped shells and shotguns free of fingerprints and wore gloves to load the gun. The complaint also says Patterson shaved his face and head and showered prior to the attack. He was dressed all in black. It says he took the license plates off his car, put stolen plates on and disconnected the dome and trunk lights. Patterson also removed an anti-kidnapping strap in the trunk of the car so that Jayme couldn't escape once inside.

Patterson took her to a cabin that he said was his, ordered her into a bedroom and told her to take off her clothes and get dressed in his sister's pajamas. He then threw her clothes into a fireplace in the cabin's basement.

Whenever he had friends over, he made clear that no one could know she was there or "bad things could happen to her," so she had to hide under the bed. He would stack totes, laundry bins and barbell weights around the teenager so she couldn't move without him noticing. The complaint says Jayme was forced to stay there for up to 12 hours at a time with no food, water or bathroom breaks.

When his father visited, Patterson told investigators, he turned up the radio in the bedroom to cover any noise she might make.

'All I can think about is her': 911 dispatcher recounts moments Jayme Closs reappeared
In her decade working as a 911 dispatcher, Amy Pullen has answered thousands of emergency calls.

But, none were quite as memorable as the one she received on Thursday night.

“This is the first time in 10 years I've gone into a full body shake and body sweat just because of the severity of the situation and how public it was, and her family was in dire need of finding this girl," she said.

Pullen said she knew right away who the caller was talking about, and her focus quickly turned to getting deputies to Gordon while finding out more information including the name of Jayme's kidnapper Jake Patterson and a description of the car he was driving.

“The sound of her voice, I knew something was different about this and I remember looking at my partner that day and she said, ‘is this legitimate?’ And I said, “I think it is.' You have that gut feeling, you can hear it in her voice, you just kind of knew."

But given everything Jayme had been through, Pullen said she also wanted to let the 13-year-old know she was safe and that help was on the way.

Kidnapped teenager Jayme Closs will not have to give evidence in court against her abductor | Daily Mail Online
Kidnapped teenager Jayme Closs, whose parents were murdered during her abduction, will not have to testify in court, prosecutors said today.

Wisconsin prosecutors praised Closs's bravery but said they are not going to put her through the trauma of giving evidence on the witness stand.

Barron County District Attorney Brian Wright told reporters of the decision minutes after her suspected kidnapper was ordered held on $5 million cash bail, the New York Post reports.

Wright added that the 'unbelievable' teenager will not be asked to take the witness stand, at least at this point.

He said: 'Jayme deserves enormous credit as a 13-year-old and for the bravery of what she has done.

'The prosecution team you see here today wants justice for James and Denise Closs and Jayme Closs.'

The District Attorney said prosecutors would try to mount their case from statements from both Patterson and Closs fingering the 21-year-old suspect — and other undisclosed evidence.

Investigators are also understood to have examined an adjacent basement compartment, a former wine cellar, which was the only room to have its curtains drawn when officers arrived to search the property on Thursday.

Jayme Closs: Mother of man accused of kidnap is 'scared to leave home' | Daily Mail Online
JP's mother is 'distraught,' and 'scared to come out of her house,' in the wake of the horrifying revelations about her son's attack on the Closs house on October 15.

Speaking to DailyMail.com a neighbor who asked not to be named said: 'She's distraught. They're good people. This is just shocking.'

The stark description is the first insight into the family behind the killer and kidnapper whose horrific actions have stunned the nation.

According to the neighbor, DF and her second husband K - Patterson's mother and stepfather - are thoughtful people who get up early each morning to plow snow from driveways.

The neighbor said: 'I would see him [Jake] across the street but not to talk to him. They're good people. But he's a freak.'

Today his mother was described as holed up at home, uncertain how to move forward in the wake of all that has happened and her youngest son's horrifying confessions.

DailyMail.com can also reveal that on the day Jayme Closs escaped, Patterson had made the 56-mile trip from the cabin in which he was holding the 13-year-old to his mother's home in Haugen, Wisconsin.



Those who knew Patterson growing up have described him as 'quiet' 'studious' and a member of Northwood High School's Quiz Bowl team.

But an ex-boyfriend of his sister, K, who dated her in 2009 and often stayed with her in the Patterson family home, recalled Patterson as more troubled than quiet.

'Nobody would really engage with Jake. I never saw him out playing with their dog or taking part in any sporting activity or even with friends.

'He was just always indoors sitting by himself. He'd be watching TV and just staring straight ahead at it. One of the last times I saw him I was getting ready to leave and I sort of said my goodbyes to him and he just kept looking straight ahead, he didn't react at all or turn his head or wave…nothing.

'There was something very flat and emotionless about him. There was nothing behind his eyes. I remember feeling that even back then.'

In a chilling coincidence, Frey drives a bus for the local Rice Lake School District, other residents said.

He said Frey, who remarried just two months ago, is “afraid” of all the attention from the case.

But he said the tiny town has rallied around her by dropping off flowers outside the home where she lives with her new husband and Labradors.

No one answered the Freys’ door Tuesday morning.

Meanwhile, a spokeswoman for the Saputo Cheese Factory — where Patterson worked in nearby Almena for only two days before spotting Jayme and quitting to allegedly concoct his evil plot — said the suspect simply stopped coming to work.

Saputo spokeswoman SV told The Post that Patterson was placed at the cheese-manufacturing facility by a temp agency.

He was making blue cheese at the plant, she said.

Prosecutors have declined to say exactly when Patterson first spotted Jayme, but SV said he worked at the factory Oct. 3 and 4 and then didn’t show up Oct. 5 and beyond.

Police sped past only one car on their way to Jayme Closs's home. She was in the trunk. - CNN
When police finally found Jayme on January 10, they made the decision to drive her away from the area for her safety, wary that the suspect might try to find her.

As one deputy and Jayme drove away from the scene, they saw a red vehicle -- either a Kia or a Ford, the deputy said -- approaching in the other direction. The deputy asked Jayme if that was the suspect's car, but she said she didn't know. She did say she thought his car was a Ford. The deputy informed her police colleagues about the red car she had passed, the complaint states.

The officers ran the license plate of the red vehicle and found that it was registered to someone with the same last name as the man Jayme identified as the suspect. An officer nearby then observed a lone male driver in the red vehicle and noticed the car had a broken taillight and a non-functioning rear license plate light.

So police followed the vehicle and stopped it as another officer approached on the passenger side. The driver was instructed to put his hands in the air and open the door.

He said his name was Jake Patterson and he knew what this was about, the complaint states. "I did it," he told them.

Patterson applied for job the day before Jayme Closs escape
KARE 11's Lou Raguse has confirmed that Jake Patterson applied online for a job at Saratoga Liquors in Superior the day before Jayme's brave escape and his arrest on murder and kidnapping charges. In his application, Patterson wrote "I'm an honest and hardworking guy. Not much work experience, but I show up to work and I'm a quick learner."

On the application, which a Saratoga co-owner shared with KARE 11, Patterson listed his work history without mentioning the two-day stints he spent at Jennie-O and Saputo Cheese, where he was working when he allegedly spotted Jayme getting on the school bus and decided to kidnap her. Among the work experiences he listed:

• Quanex Building Products, Rice Lake, Oct '16-Jan '17
• Marine Corps Boot Camp, San Diego, Apr '17-Dec '17
• Bohmann Concrete, Hayward, WI, Apr '18-Nov '18

Reporter Raguse tweeted that the work history appears embellished, as the Marines kicked Patterson out after just five weeks of basic training, and authorities say he was not working at the time of the kidnapping, which is in direct conflict to the claim he was working at Bohmann Concrete during that time frame.

KB with Bohmann Concrete also called KARE 11 to confirm that Patterson filled out an application to work at Bohmann, but was never employed there.

In another development, Patterson was moved from the Barron County Jail to the lockup in adjoining Polk County. Barron County Sheriff Chris Fitzgerald confirmed that a relative of Jayme's worked at the Barron County Jail but said the move was an administrative decision, and not based on threats or security concerns. Fitzgerald says Patterson will be moved back to Barron County for upcoming court appearances.
