That has to be a bit unnerving for the neighbors right now. I bet that they felt a little bit safer with a police presence in the neighborhood, after such a brutal crime being committed. Especially since there is POI or suspect named. I feel for their neighbors right now.Some additional views of the home ...

For 1st time since I arrived in Barron on Oct 15, the mobile crime scene trailer is gone from the Closs family home on Hwy 8. No police presence. No crime scene tape. Not sure what it means in the efforts to #FindJayme Perhaps onto next phase of investigation? #FindJaymeCloss

This door issue is driving me nuts.That's what I'm confused about. If the killer opened the storm door and then kicked the inner door in and shot, then the body would not end up in the doorway, it would have been further inside. He would have had to have either been using his body to hold the storm door open, or gone inside before aiming and taking a shot.
I've been waiting for you to show up and tell us your opinion too, Gitana!![]()
If you see the picture, the wood of the door was split way down about 2 or three inches from the frame, or the jamb.
The wood looked to be about two inches, at least, thick
I'm sure it's unnerving for everybody, especially those with kids as they may be traumatized by this. JmoThat has to be a bit unnerving for the neighbors right now.

IMO he had a very large gunshot wound to the head that at first glance looked to be a suicide - from what I have read murder is not a huge stastical crime - sleuther posted this earlierI'm puzzled by the same thing
First time poster, but I've been watching this thread for a few days now.
The thing I can't make any sense of is the violent nature of the killing of the parents. It just seems really different to have done that if the goal was abducting Jayme.
The flip side of that is if the goal was revenge on the parent(s), taking Jayme still makes very little sense and doesn't seem like other cases I've heard before.
I think this is one of two possible scenarios:
1.) Random sociopath/killer who would indiscriminately kill anyone they felt like and for some reason chose this poor unsuspecting family to kill/abduct.
2.) Someone known to the family or where they worked, who is still in the area and trying to blend in as if nothing happened.
Yes, that was in the dispatcher report but I was actually referring to the news report from WAEU13. It was from the first day and Fitzgerald said bullet casings. That's why some posters questioned the idea that a shotgun was used, as LE would have said " shells" instead of casings.
I'm wondering if both were shot in the head, by someone with experience if all it took was two shots. JmoIMO he had a very large gunshot wound to the head that at first glance looked to be a suicide - from what I have read murder is not a huge stastical crime - a sleuthed posted thise earlier
Apologies if this was already discussed-
In their obituary I noticed that it said Denise was a member of the church, but there wasn't any mention of this for James. I've also seen reports that Denise and Jayme were active members, but again no mention of James. Wondering if someone at church --not even necessarily someone who had been there long--saw Denise and jayme and figured it was a single mom and daughter. Learned their address, and thus weren't expecting a man to be there. Not sure if I really lean towards this theory but at his point I'm looking at anything and everything

It was either the first or second article. Before anything was ever mentioned about the dispatch log.I looked into it several times/places, but I've not seen "casings" mentioned by the sheriff in a quote. I have seen media report it that way, seeming to ad lib from the dispatch log. And I don't doubt you, maybe he did say it. I do think it's safe to assume they were likely casings, not shells; I just haven't heard that come from Fitzgerald.
There is already a double murder...I can’t see hedging over the word “abducted” when a child is missing from the crime scene.
Thats a good question. I wondered if it was shot through, and that's why the family member said that. I don't know what kind of glass is used in those doors, or what a bullet hole would look like in one. Also they didn't mention it in the dispatcher log. It would seem it would have to be open, either with him holding it open with his body or having stepped inside. Jmo
