'The distance didn't matter': Middleton Fire Battalion Chief aided in search for Jayme Closs
He made the trek, traveling over 200 miles.

"The distance didn't matter," he said. "The feeling goes through your mind that this could indeed be my family."

He said by covering ground and not finding anything, they allowed law enforcement and other search groups to check another spot off their list of areas to search. Subera said helping the family was where he felt the most emotional.

"They're going to see the news clips and go, 'Oh my gosh, that's a lot of love.' On a Tuesday morning in October, middle of the day. Two thousand people are willing to come, drop what they're doing and give that search. It's amazing to see that amount of cars that were coming down the road, turning into the staging area. It was awe-inspiring."

Missing Wisconsin teen's family in emotional plea for her safe return
Investigators sometimes employ remarks from missing people's family members in the hopes of humanizing them in their captors' eyes and making them pause before inflicting harm.

The sheriff added that a new evidence collection team went through the Closs home on Wednesday to ensure previous forensic analysts didn't miss anything. The new team removed what Fitzgerald called "items," but he didn't elaborate.

CBS Minnesota reports the items included a mattress, a nightstand and several boxes.

On day 11 of search for Jayme Closs, Barron residents remain vigilant
No more than two miles from the Closs family house, just off Hwy. 8, a Barron County farmer chopped stalks Thursday with his eyes focused on the cornfield and Jayme.

“You’re always looking. In the back of your mind, maybe something happened and she’s placed here. We’re always looking for her. I’ve got quite a few fields within a short distance of where the scene was,” the farmer said.

The farmer, who asked that we not use his name, said he won’t stop doing his part.

In fact, he and his wife reached out to authorities earlier this week about a “strange” phone call they received from an out-of-area phone number. They were worried it might be connected to the nationwide search.

“They actually asked for Jayme and then kinda acted funny,” the farmer said. “We had the phone number they called from and delivered it to the police department.”

For 1st time since I arrived in Barron on Oct 15, the mobile crime scene trailer is gone from the Closs family home on Hwy 8. No police presence. No crime scene tape. Not sure what it means in the efforts to #FindJayme Perhaps onto next phase of investigation? #FindJaymeCloss



Paul Blume on Twitter

Sherrif confirms to @FOX9. Law enforcement has officially released the scene after 11 days. Investigators are done at the Closs house & turned it back over to family. The question remains though, what happened inside that house? #FindJayme

Investigators Press for Break in Missing Wisconsin Girl Case
Thornton said in any criminal probe, the first 48 hours are critical to getting a quick resolution. But no matter how long it takes, investigators will not give up on missing children cases and will be motivated to follow any lead that comes in.

"You don't lose hope on these things," Thornton said. "You keep following the leads that come up." He said it only takes one lead to go from an unsolved case to "all of a sudden you are on the fast track to a resolution."

Thornton led the FBI's Minneapolis office when the remains of Jacob Wetterling, a boy who was kidnapped in Minnesota in 1989, were found in 2016. He said that despite the decades of not knowing what happened, he always held out hope that Jacob would be found alive.

SPOONER, Wis. (WCCO) — The wait for answers continues in the case of Wisconsin teenager Jayme Closs, who has been missing since Oct. 15. For another family from the same area, the tragedy is all too real.

Sara Bushland was 15 years old when she disappeared 22 years ago.

Long before the press briefings and field searches in Barron, Wisconsin, questions surrounded a home 30 miles north in Spooner in 1996.

“It brings it all home,” Lesley Small said. “It’s the same feeling I get, then multiply it by 22 for 22 years.”
