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

Curious as to what his occupation would have to do with this, care to offer some insight?

He could have brought a predator into their lives through his work.

Whenever I see a teen missing and her parents killed I tend to think it has to do with someone who wants that teen. I'll bet we find out more to this story pretty soon and today.

By far, my "favorite" of the theories thus far.

Okay.

Sleuthing Help Wanted - What was her Dad, James Closs's occupation?.... Thank you.

Says he works at Moto Reinhard on his Facebook. Which doesn't seem feasible. So no idea!

UPDATE: Adults found dead in Barron Co. were parents of missing 13-year-old girl

Is she the one who called 911 or was it one of her parents or someone else?

I wonder if the 911 call was made on a landline?

Anything missing from the house? Signs of a struggle? I've heard of robberies going wrong where the robbers took a hostage with them. Usually that doesn't end well.

Found a separate Facebook for James. Last public post in 2015 (lived in Ladysmith back then):

Have you seen this child? JAYME CLOSS

Thanks cyber, (doh, I should have thought to look there myself! ).
Ok so if that photo was taken in July it was only 3 months ago.
She still looks so young. She is so young.

According to the Barron School District calendar there were conferences on Thursday and no school on Friday.

Hubby is from this area (about 2 hours away).

The area is very rural. Cell phone coverage is spotty; people in DH's town had to drive to the top of a hill to make a cell phone call. You can drive Highway 8 for miles and see few, if any, vehicles.

Farming and manufacturing (paper mills, logging) were the two occupations until the 1980's, when many jobs were outsourced. Harley Davidson has a factory in Park Falls, but some of those jobs supposedly will be outsourced. However, according to my Dad, meth is prevalent.

The area is very conservative; I very much doubt that the Closs Family was tied to illegal drugs. I suspect they, like many, were eking out an existence. But then, one never knows.

I'm thinking this will be drug related. And I suspect the perps are heading towards the Twin Cities (Minneapolis, St. Paul) where they can hide.

JMVHO.

What line of work brings predators into the family home? I know your heart is in the right place, but this line of questioning seems slightly accusatory toward a dead father. Is there some reason you think he was knowingly associating with predators? And why are you not asking what the mother did for a living as well? Let's keep in mind Jayme and her parents are victims according to the TOS of the site. JMO.

At the time of publication, an amber alert had not been issued for Closs. For an amber alert to be issued, police must confirm that the child was abducted and that the child must be at risk for serious bodily harm or death. Other requirements include:

• Enough descriptive information about the victim and the abduction for law enforcement to issue an amber alert to assist in the recovery of the child.
• The abduction is of a child who is 17 years old or younger.
• The child’s name and other critical data elements, including the child abduction flag, have been entered into the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) system.

Fitzgerald, who described the scene as "tragic," said he was unsure if Closs had been kidnapped or left the home on her own. During an interview with the Associated Press, the sheriff said the police department had no suspect or vehicle information related to the teen’s disappearance.

After catching up, id be more interested on crime scene clues, tire marks or footprints.. shell casing info etc...

 

[cody22]

He could have brought a predator into their lives unknowingly through his work........ and I still have not found out his current occupation.....Good luck with your sleuthing.

 

[Jethro4WS]

Right now we don't even know if this crime is classified as a double homicide or a murder-suicide. Would make quite a bit of difference if law enforcement would clarify at least that much.

We have to wait for MSM or LE to give us those facts. Occupations can be found on the Internet....Good luck with your sleuthing.

The sheriff says the girl is missing and in danger and is not a suspect in her parents' deaths. He says investigators have been talking with Jayme's friends, but so far have no leads on a possible suspect.
