Dear Members,

In no way will we allow ANYONE to suggest that a minority group, a gang, the Nazi's or a coven of witches are the ones who killed Jayme's parents and kidnapped her.

If anyone hints, talks around or in anyway suggests a group is responsible for this horrible crime that person will be gone from the discussion. Same thing if you mention anyone as a suspect without evidence.

If any reliable information comes out about the suspect or suspects then, of course, we can discuss the new information.

Until then, please stay on topic, do not start discussing any other cases, and remember while Websleuths is first a true crime discussion forum a very close second is we are a victim friendly forum. 99.9% of the time we can easily be both. In Jayme's case, there is no reason to disparage the parents or Jayme. There is no evidence of any issues with Jayme's parents or with Jayme herself.

PLEASE STAY ON TOPIC. We know teenagers can be very difficult, however, there is no evidence to suggest Jayme is anything but a victim.

If your post starts with "Me", "My", "I" it very well could be off topic.

We have the best sleuths in the world on Websleuths. We need to keep on topic to make sure the topics are easy to read. When a post is made about anything that is not directly related to the topics it makes the thread harder to read and way off topic.

The work the mods are having to do on this thread alone is overwhelming.

The rules are easy to follow on Websleuths. Thousands of people follow the rules every day with no problem.

Thank you for your cooperation,

Tricia
 
WS does not tolerate bashing LE. Everyone knows that some LEAs are corrupt and some aren't. Some LEOs are corrupt and some aren't. A small town police force can be just as great or just as bad as a large city police force.

I see nothing in this case indicating that LE has botched the entire thing or is not asking for the help from other agencies that they require.

Unless and until LE in this case proves to be incompetent, there is no reason to bash their efforts to find Jayme.
 
Search For Jayme Closs Continues; Parents’ Deaths Ruled Homicides
About 200 people attended a residents-only town hall Wednesday night at Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College in Rice Lake. Sheriff Fitzgerald held the meeting to discuss concerns. He also repeated his call for locals to come forward if they notice anything suspicious.

FBI agents and local investigators executed a search warrant Wednesday at a property just a half a mile west of the Closs home along Highway 8. One woman was taken away in handcuffs. It is still unclear why they were there, but Sheriff Fitzgerald says this was all unrelated to the search for Jayme.

Authorities said they had already received more than 400 tips from the community and the nation at large. They cannot say whether or not the Closs family was targeted. They do believe Jayme is still in danger.
 

"Jayme Closs's great uncle lives in Manitowoc. Edward Downing says he prays multiple times a day that Jayme Closs is safe. He says all the family can hope for right now is that whoever may have her releases her unharmed."

Hmmmmmm. Interesting.
 
Re: the discussion in the last thread about LE possibly having an eye on them now and waiting for the right time to move in: I don’t think this is the case here at this time, moo.

If they had eyes on them they’d take the perp(s) down at the first opportunity, unless the current situation is such that they just can’t move in or “get a shot”.

:eek: No wonder they issued that disclaimer on the Sheriff's fb page about there being an unrelated arrest. With it being only 1/2 mile away, all of social media would be losing their minds if nothing had been said. It appears one of Jayme's neighbors had some secret that came tumbling out during the investigation to find Jayme. At least some good is coming of this-- although we don't know what the crime was yet, a crime may have been solved and a criminal may have been caught due to the search for Jayme.
