The Latest: Sheriff: 'Awesome' smile from Jayme Closs
A Wisconsin sheriff says 13-year-old Jayme Closs had a smile on her face when he saw her Sunday, just days after she fled the remote cabin where she says she was held for three months.
Barron County Sheriff Chris Fitzgerald said it was the first time he had met Jayme since she apparently escaped from her captor on Thursday.
Fitzgerald called it "awesome" and a moment he'll never forget. He says Jayme showed him the room where she is staying with an aunt in Barron, Wisconsin.

“She’s still a young, shy girl but with a smile on her face,” said Barron County Sheriff Chris Fitzgerald.
Fitzgerald, who went to visit the 13-year-old girl at her aunt’s house in Barron Sunday night, also said she was doing “awesome.”
The teen showed the sheriff her new room,
accompanied by her dog Molly, who was “very protective, barking,” Fitzgerald recalled.
“Our goal is to make sure Jayme is safe,” Fitzgerald said.
Asked about her plans for the future, Fitzgerald said Jayme may go back to school “if she chooses.”
The family is taking a “whatever Jayme wants” approach, he added.
