If he has autism it's more of an anecdote than a reason for doing what he did. Autism, which is a spectrum disorder meaning that two people with autism can have a completely different severity, doesn't cause violence. There have been many studies looking into the link between autism and violence...

God I feel so stupid for not thinking about it but I was thinking from the perspective of 'oh it's horrible that her parents are dead' and not 'oh it's horrible she probably saw her parents die'

She may have been kept in a room with a window, had been forcibly taken on 'joyrides' with him or had seen photos.

It makes me disgusted to think about it but Edmund Kemper killed his grandparents because after he killed one he didn't want the other one to be sad that they were gone. It may be a similar mindset.

The main information I'm waiting on now is how he knew her or chose his target, and if he admits to other crimes (going from 0 to double homicide and kidnapping isn't impossible but I think it would be more likely that he stalked or did some other crime in the past and just wasn't caught)

That's true but this could at least be used to build the framework so that future cases can get solved without having to play a waiting game. Were there any red flags missed after the abduction, how did he fall under the radar and were there any signs of him planning the abduction. I understand...

Double post, sorry for that!

Gosh, I can tell this guy cares a lot for Jayme but I hope they look into why whatever they did to investigate didn't work. Why did the guy fall under the radar?, why did a child have to save herself?

They literally had no clue who was behind it? What were they doing?

If I went through a big trauma the last thing I'd want is everyone in my school to be clued in and celebrate my return. High School was a struggle and I don't want to think about what it would be like getting pitied from everyone. Maybe I'm just a pessimist.

Not to be rude but that half second of thanks towards Jayme while a full 10mins on how thankful they are for the prayers from departments that helped out.

Sounds like the perp was either out of the house while Jayme escaped or he was trying to escape himself? Jake Thomas Patterson

Possibly just to connect with the community? The perp may have also been a student at some point but we'll have to wait and see

Hearing that a lot of people were in and out of the house makes me worried she may have been exposed or forced to take some drugs as well. It also pains me to know there were possibly many witnesses to the crime that did nothing.

Massive police presence at Walworth County farmhouse Multiple agencies on site of 'ongoing criminal investigation' in Walworth County For the record, it isn't unusual for other departments to take over cases in East Troy! They have a small department so they normally double up with Mukwonago...
