Jayme Closs

“She is enjoying dance, school activities and many other things. ... She is surrounded by lots of loved ones," Jayme Closs' aunt and guardian said of her recovery from 88 days in captivity.

Newly released documents reveal that Jake Patterson believed he used mind control to keep Jayme Closs captive during the 88 days he kept her at his cabin.

Jake Patterson allegedly punched a man who told him to leave an area of the prison because of what he did to the Wisconsin teen.

“I am very happy at home and getting back to the activities I enjoy," the Wisconsin teen wrote in a statement one year after her horrific 88-day ordeal began. 

Jake Patterson fatally shot Jayme Closs' parents to death in the Wisconsin home.

Authorities say Ritchie German Jr. had been sexting Laile Vang, who didn't know him, before he blasted his way into her home with a shotgun, killing the 24-year-old and gravely injured her parents.

In October 2018, Jake Patterson kidnapped 13-year-old Jayme Closs after fatally shooting both of her parents.

Patterson killed James and Denise Closs before abducting their 13-year-old daughter and keeping her captive for 88 days.

A probation and parole agent is trying to gather information on Jake Patterson for a judge to weigh in determining his sentence, but the Wisconsin man says his lawyer has advised him not to talk.

Patterson previously told a reporter he loved his 13-year-old captive.
