Hi Margarita5
Its a great idea you had. And a couple of Websleuthers have provided great links to some of those cases. I don't remember all of them, but you can read the 2 links below for yourself to get you data. (There's more on previous threads; I'll keep looking)
You all remember the case in Tennessee?
The Bain Family was moving from Tennessee to Arizona. A “close family friend”, Adam Mayes, was “helping” them move. He killed the mother and oldest daughter. He spared the two younger daughters. (He claimed they were his bio-daughters, which I believe was determined to be unlikely). On the run, he was eventually was confronted by LE, in a forest, and turned the gun on himself. The girls with him were “unharmed” except for dehydration, poison ivy and bug bites. The Father of the family was the least impacted because he was already in Arizona with the first load of their stuff. AM’s wife and mother were also complicit in this murder/kidnapping and convicted.

A couple of on-point Websleuthers have brought up the Canadian case.
The Liknes Disappearances:
Disappearance of Nathan O'Brien, Kathryn Liknes and Alvin Liknes - Wikipedia
Here’s one similarity: Both Garland was related to the Liknes family through marriage, AND Adam Mayes was related to the Bain family though marriage.
Garland likely killed the grandson to make sure there were no witnesses.
Mayes was a career criminal and likely involved in a lot domestic abuse towards his wife.
Pure conjecture and my own opinion is below:
I’m getting the some of the same ‘vibe’ with the Closs case in Wisconsin. I believe the perp could have some combo of these qualities
1) Someone who knows the Closs family and may even be related to them through extended ties.
2) Someone who knows the area of Barron really well.
3) Someone who knows their habits
4) Someone who perceives himself/herself to be very very important to Denise, James or Jayme (this view is likely inflated and not reciprocated by the Closses, such as “I paved their driveway for them”, “I works so hard for him. He owes me.” “I tell her everything that is going on in my life.” (Pure Conjecture examples; MOO) ...or..
5) Someone who perceives they have been slighted, betrayed, mistreated, disrespected or severely let down by Denise or James, recently, or even going very far back (such as a friendship/relationship that has been cut off; asked to not communicate with them anymore; business venture which did not work out, reprimanded at a job, covered for them at work, then not compensated, shared a confidence but then it was divulged; etc.) (Pure conjecture; MOO)
6) Someone who feels that they ……cannot “save face”.
7) Someone who is likely controlling, & possible emotionally/physically abusive to those closest to him/her.
8) Someone with a lot rage, and a short temper.
9) Someone with a lot of bitterness/jealousy towards Denise or James (such as, “JC can retire at 56 and I can’t”, “She has such a great relationship with her daughter/friends/mother-in-law/fill-in-the-blank-with-any-name and I don’t.” )
10) Someone who is majorly stressed in other arenas of their life and #5) was the last straw.

I am praying for Jayme’s safe return.
I am praying for her whole family.
I am praying for the entire surrounding community of Barrron.
There are really no words. This is so horrific.
