Suspect Jake Thomas Patterson hosted a Christmas gathering while Jayme Closs was imprisoned in the same house, sources say
this is where i first saw it and posted it from this a.m.
From this article:
"But two law-enforcement sources separately said the visitors included two members of Patterson's immediate family and the people they were dating."
"The family was there," one source said. Patterson "told (Jayme) that if she made a noise or tried to escape, he would kill her."
The sources would only speak on the condition of anonymity because the case is ongoing."
IMO these LE sources are leaking privileged information, even knowing "the case is ongoing." Either the sheriff needs to nip this in the bud, or many things will become tainted in their evidence gathering.
We do know that the 'CC' detailed that, "J.L.C. described how, on one occasion, Patterson got mad at her and hit her “really hard” on her back with what she described as a handle for something used to clean blinds and that it hurt really bad when Patterson hit her with it. J.L.C. stated she did not specifically remember what she did to make him mad on that occasion, but she remembers Patterson telling her that if it happened again the punishment would be worse next time."
I really don't know if Jayme would have not mentioned his threat that, "he would kill her."
Perhaps my perception of anonymous LE sources is setting off my 'huh?' meters?
