Wisconsin authorities identify cars in search for 13-year-old Jayme Closs
Earlier, authorities said they’re intensifying their search near the family’s home where Jayme was last known to be more than a week ago and where her parents were shot dead.

Fitzgerald has put the call out for 2,000 volunteers to participate in a six-hour search Tuesday for evidence in connection with the teen’s disappearance and the deaths of her parents, James Closs, 56, and Denise Closs, 46, on Oct. 15 at their home just to the west of the city of Barron.

The sheriff said he could not comment on exactly what the searchers will be looking for on Tuesday: “We will not jeopardize Jayme’s safety over the public having knowledge about this case.”

Volunteers are being directed to report to the staging area at 1883 Hwy. 25 in Barron, also known as the Hungry Hollow Grounds, no later than 9 a.m. Tuesday. No more than 2,000 volunteers will be accepted.

Searchers must be at least 18 years old, have photo identification and be able to walk on uneven terrain. Proper footwear and cold-weather clothing should be worn.

Jayme Closs: Vastly expanded ground search for missing Wisconsin teen
Fitzgerald said investigators have received more than 1,300 tips and have closed 1,100 of them. Some led to the decision to resume the ground search, he said, though he declined to elaborate.

A sheriff's deputy and agents from the state Department of Justice and the FBI mapped the area by helicopter Monday afternoon in preparation for Tuesday's search.

"We've determined we'd like to search a bigger search area based on information our investigators have collected," Fitzgerald said. "These tips have led us to this."

OCT 22, 2018 CNN.com - Transcripts - ASHLEIGH BANFIELD

BANFIELD: Can you walk me through, now that it`s public knowledge, what those first responding officers saw at the front door and beyond?

FITZGERALD: Well, in some degree, I can. And again, the logs that we released aren`t always the evidence that`s collected at the scene. They`re the first initial appearance that an officer goes through. But yeah, our -- the initial appearance with an officer were obviously some kind of commotion, as you stated, last week in the show. Our officers responded, pulled into the driveway, and saw an open door and then saw what they believed to be feet. And then responded up there and found the bodies of James Closs and then went in the house and found Denise Closs.

BANFIELD: How far -- how far -- yeah, how far in the house was Denise Closs? If James Closs was found at the door, and as you just mentioned, I think that`s the first I`ve heard of this, sir, that when you`re officers responded, they could see his feet from the driveway sticking out of the open door of the home. Is that correct?

FITZGERALD: I don`t know exactly where they -- when they picked him up on site. I don`t know if they pulled in the driveway or when they exactly saw them, but the door was ajar. And I can`t comment on where Denise was found in the house. But I think going to any scene like that, that`s what we train our officers to do is their first initial observations and that`s why that`s collected in that call log.

Authorities expand ground search for Jayme Closs
The search for a missing 13-year-old Wisconsin girl whose parents were killed in the family’s home was expanded Tuesday, with as many as 2,000 volunteers expected to take part in a search of the area.

A long line of vehicles streamed into a staging area near Barron on Tuesday morning as volunteers gathered under cloudy skies and in freezing temperatures to begin the search for clues.

Video posted to Twitter by a KMSP-TV reporter showed a line of volunteers, all holding sticks, getting instructions to go slowly and, if they see something, yell “Stop!” and wait for authorities to assess what they find. Other video showed searchers walking in a grid pattern, using the sticks to bat down tall grass and vegetation.
