Yes. The article said she was hidden away or locked up whenever people came over
When you live an isolated existence, you don’t have to work particularly hard to conceal a kidnapping victim.Then you consider him just lucky to take and conceal a 13 year old girl the whole state is looking for?
Leave not one clue as to his identity in a home where he slaughtered two people and kidnapped another! Leaving nothing on social media. Has the locals, state and fbi using almost four months of manpower with nothing!
I'd call him brilliant!
Following in his brother's footsteps? Read that article about the brother's criminal record. It might shed a little light.
Thank you! <modsnip: unnecessary>

Authorities investigating criminal history of Closs suspect's brother
Gordon may indeed be quaint, but it's a wonderful way of life, country living and woods and water; God's Country in my book. Which is why I spent over 30+ years there. I moved for my career after divorce; options for decent paying jobs in the area are nil. A few little restaurants between Solon Springs, Gordon, Barnes, Wascott & Minong. All within driving distance but don't leave home on emptyGordon wi is almost quaint bygone era cabins right ... I’m guessing if you want restaurant or anything at all u go to Duluth or Barron .... and maybe perp just drove by closs home quite a bit...
I can’t believe you’d raise kids in Gordon wi...600 people is small ... and not enough for schooling... did he commute to school..
that’s just odd place to raise family...not odd to have getaway place odd to raise family there
I doubt it. If he had served that long, there would likely be some documentation of it somewhere. If anything, he would not have made it very far. I think that's what the assumption is. ImoIf this guy is just now 21, is it even possible to have served an entire enlistment of 4 years (which most branches of our military require 3+ at a minimum, as far as I know). I thought 18 was the minimum age to enlist..
I didn’t say that LE needs to find how the suspect is known to the family. I said connected to—how he even knew who Jayme was. And I am speaking as a parent. I want to know how he chose her. And if someone 70 miles from me can choose my child to abduct, how is he/she choosing?
Ooh, maybe from residents who are away right now! They might come up with footage in the coming days.I wonder if there are any cameras in that little group of houses? I’m thinking no?

Great post, I was feeling the same way. I think it may be empowering for her to testify and something she may regret not doing. I bet she is tougher than some think. She did nothing wrong, she is a survivor. If she did indeed suffer sexual assault the shame would be feeling she had to be protected from it. She is strong, she will get through this. I understand wanting to protect her but that's not real nor therapeutic in my opinion
It doesn’t take a lot of intelligence to do what he did.
He brazenly attacked a home in the middle of the night, ultimately escaping by the skin of his teeth.
He apparently had a living situation already in place that allowed him and Jayme to remain undiscovered.
He was served well by an apparent lack of direct connection to his victims.
He’s not a criminal mastermind. Far from it.
This crime didn’t require one to be “bright.”

On account of the Sheriff’s statement that he was captured while apparently searching for Jayme, this seems unlikely.Wondering.....is it possible the perp left the cabin this time and "let" Jayme escape.....wasn't he captured within(minutes)moments of her escape...
There are laws about search. Have to have a reason. A pd can’t randomly search a property without reason or they could get sued. Just like they can’t search ur vehicle if u get stopped...unless u give permission or have reason.Hindsight is 20/20 but how about if law enforcement had started looking at these rural cabin properties in general terms such as: lets identify properties occupied by lone males (especially unemployed) who over-winter.
