I saw a casino was right near Turtle Lake. Gambling debts for anyone? Or a random stopover after murdering two people and taking a thirteen year old? jmo
The casino is not near Turtle Lake, it is in Turtle Lake city limits. A small part of Turtle Lake is also in Polk County.
As a semi-local to the Barron area, but who was born and raised in Northwestern Wisconsin, I want to say that even though it’s been 20 years since I was Jayme’s age, some things still don’t change, and by that, I mean the love that our communities have for its citizens, and the love that the citizens have for their communities.
Even with drugs, and cell phones, and the internet, and whatever, we are still hardworking (mostly blue-collar) people who know our neighbors, care about the cities we live in, and we will do anything to help each other out.
If there is any group of people who can find Jayme, it’s Sheriff Fitzgerald and the citizens of Northwestern Wisconsin. We know this area inside and out; we know what happens in our neighborhoods, on our streets.
I don’t know Jayme or her family, but I hold firm that Jayme is with someone that she knows, and that she is somewhere close by. I hope Polk County is actively searching throughout the county for Jayme.
