AMBER ALERT WI - Jayme Closs, 13, Barron, missing after parents found shot, 15 Oct 2018 *endangered* #16

[thesnowflakesparkles]

Are we sure there is no retail there? Some of the reviews talk about prices there. I thought it was a plant that also had a small retail area for visitors to purchase from. I know we have some similar facilities nearby that have a "company store" attached.

There is no retail location listed on their website of where to buy. Are these Google reviews or something else?

As far as I know, it used to have a company store back when it was Jerome Foods before being bought out by Hormel but doesn't any longer.

Edit: @raja pointed out that he could have been a cashier at the cafeteria

Results from page 43 to 47

2 Undecided (Margarita25, SkipperKey3)

2 NO (kay74, Lillymac)

4 YES (SandyQLS, Paul S., Jbetty567, Regit)

Anyone else?

Yes- as of now, which means it's based off my gut, since there's so much we don't know.

OT for those looking for a somewhat similar crime with a surviving abductee...

There is the guy with the tree/leaf obsession. Burglary turned murder turned abduction if you believe the perp's version of events in the case.

Still catching up on this thread, but wanted to post this in case it hadn’t yet been shared. Jayme Closs' home burglarized the same day as funeral for parents

Sorry -- I might have been unclear, but I thought you were initially talking about cases in which it was NOT a targeted attack on a child, but just a simple robbery turned kidnapping -- and the Shasta Groene and Jennifer Short cases (as well as the other one you mentioned here) were definitely perpetrated by sexual offenders whose intended targets were the children. I'm googling here and on other sites, but I haven't found any cases in which a burglar or drug offender intending to rob a place just decided to opportunistically kidnap a child. I'll share if I find any!

i'm guessing you won't find any b/c it's such an illogical thing to do if you are not interested in the child.

It don't know how he could be a cashier, there aren't any retail locations here despite the name "Turkey Store"

Thanks for the link. Good info. I wondered about his being a cashier. But, I did not know if Jennie O had a store front or not.

I'm a bit surprised that there aren't more pleas for Jayme, more attempts to keep this in the press. Even the reward amount stays the same.

they literally doubled the reward within the last 3 or 4 days ....

They may have a cafeteria at the plant which may need a cashier.

I know.

Yes, I forgot about that, they do!

Thanks Waterdog.
The article was so informative, listing all the help they have in trying to locate Jayme.

Now that posting has slowed down, I would be very interested in internal polling here. I am not the best poster to setup that sort of thing, but I would like to see condensed opinions as percentages. For example:

YES: You think abduction of Jayme was the primary purpose of this crime.

Or

NO: You do NOT think the abduction of Jayme was the primary purpose of this crime.

I know most of you have considered all the great ideas and multiple scenarios, but what is your strongest gut feeling or thought process on just that Yes or No.

Thank you.

No

My gut says ‘no’ to the reason for all of this was Jayme. It just seems if someone wanted to abduct a kid they wouldn’t have to murder to do it.
Sadly I think jayme was a victim of circumstance.
Whom ever did this was very angry as it was violent.
It’s so scary to think she could be dead and on the other hand scary to think she is still alive. Makes me so sad. I can’t think about.

Sorry about the duplicate post

Thanks for the info. I see google reviews from 6 months ago and 1 year ago mentioning purchasing food.

I also never thought of a cafeteria cashier either.

Another depressing scene at the Closs family home. Crews are busy doing post crime clean-up. We are back in Barron today as Sheriff says tips to #FindJaymeCloss have slowed down in recent days. 13yo now missing 2+ weeks. #FindJayme

Anyone care to venture a guess as to what we are seeing in this first pic ? It almost appears to me to be an interior door, but my eyes are terrible, so I'll bow to better eyes on this.

To me, a kiddie *advertiser censored* ring would operate in a similar manner as sex trafficking of a minor. My mom sits on the board of our state's human trafficking coalition and children who are trafficked are high risk kids: those who have gotten lost in the system, runaways, homeless, etc. They want children who will not be missed right away. This kind of media attention would be a nightmare to a trafficking ring, and I imagine the same would be for a kiddie *advertiser censored* ring. In our state, too, the majority of children who are involved in child *advertiser censored* or trafficked are actually "sold" by their own family members-they are not abducted. This crime does not fit into any of the information I know, both from listening to my mother give talks and as my time as a crisis intervention specialist.

Thank you for the insight.
