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.
 
The latest post by the Barron County Sheriff's Department provides some greater detail about what behavior to be on the lookout for.

Even more interesting, IMO, is the last paragraph that asks for info from anyone who has spent time with the parents' family recently, or who ever had "misunderstandings" with any of their family members:

Barron County Sheriff's Department
In addition, we are seeking information about the victims, Denise and James Closs. We are hopeful to learn more about the Closs family to help bring Jayme home. If you spent time with members of the Closs family recently, or if you have ever had a misunderstanding with members of the Closs family, or know someone who has, please call the tipline.

One of my questions on this is could it be a classmate that she wasn't getting along with? Was there any money that the family came into that someone younger might think they could get easily? Had Jayme or anyone in her family been awarded any money, trips, etc? Just motive searching, atm

HUGE thank you to the mods working with us here!! I do not know how yall manage to keep up but yall are doing a great job! Thanks for keeping everything on track
 
Stepping back from the focus on Jayme and looking at the whole case is utterly heartbreaking. They were so loved and appeared to have a very close family. I cannot imagine losing my brother and his wife like this. Then you add in Jayme missing. She may miss her parents funeral. How does a family heal and move forward from this? This one will bother me for quite awhile and imagine it is only going to get worse.

I know, it’s truly horrific. Right now they just want answers, and there simply don’t appear to be any.

Not knowing who did this is terrible, but not knowing where Jayme is, is worse.
