Found Alive WI - Jayme Closs, 13, Barron, missing after parents found shot, 15 Oct 2018 *Arrest* #34

[Byte]

Gosh, I can tell this guy cares a lot for Jayme but I hope they look into why whatever they did to investigate didn't work. Why did the guy fall under the radar?, why did a child have to save herself?

 

[not.a.muggle]

Really? How did he come up on anyone's radar?

I have no idea, I didn't post the original reference to him. I'll go find it...

JP was just down the road from the residence when arrested.

I'm kind of side-eyeing the self-praise LE is giving itself in this presser. They did not find or rescue her. She rescued herself.

My first thought too??? They did scour tips and put it out there but they did not find her.

 

[Curiousobserver]

He had taken measures to avoid detection.
Like an overseas VPN?

Almost no social media presence for a kid of 21

Zero criminal history!

Yes, no criminal history. Does not exclude delinquent history. Just sayin'

 

[Byte]

Double post, sorry for that!

Zero criminal history!

Which makes me wonder how he got on the radar here when LE never mentioned him or had him as a suspect.

 

[heartgoesout]

He does have a tie to Barron County.

How?

 

[MachoFantastico]

Well one thing is certain, he's going to spend a long time in prison.

The speakers at this conference seem so elated and shocked; like she was found moments ago instead of 18 hours ago, it's like they didn't have time to prepare what to say. Either way, everyone is extremely pleased Jayme was found (due to her own courageousness) and the perp can't hurt anyone else. Anticipating the 4PM (central time I believe) PC.

 

[buggiegirl]

I hope everyone blasts this creep’s full name and everything else about him all over the place.

Why? What does that accomplish? Just makes him famous.

2 houses close by with the same last name

Actually isn't one Peterson and one Patterson?

JAKE THOMAS PATTERSON
Edit : Picture removed

This is NOT JTP, it is someone posting a video comment about the suspect name reveal.

 

[bellesnwhistles]

making me cry...

ETA: happy tears

I can't tell you (you all already know and understand anyway) how nice is it is to follow a case of a young missing girl that ends in a PC filled with smiles and happy tears

 

[sherbetjello]

This kid made sure to keep himself hidden. Anyone having any luck finding anything? I've found his brother but i'm not sleuthing him.

Editing this, Facebook cleared the suspects name as soon as the name was dropped to the press.

[Bravo]

Even if LE had some DNA from crime scene this killer was not in the system. He got lucky getting away with this for as long as he did. Sadly. IMO

 

[MesquiteO21]

Suspect DOES have a tie to Barron County.

did they say what it is? i'm not able to continue watching the presser right now

 

[gitana1]

Gosh I can tell this guy cares a lot for Jayme but I hope they look into why whatever they did to investigate didn't work.

That I think goes way too far. It's not like they failed to do their jobs. If there's not evidence, there's not evidence. LE aren't magicians.

My only issue is the back patting now.

 

[zea mays]

I think that these LE officers are just inexperienced with press conferences and are honestly letting their own emotions come through. They're so very happy that this was resolved peacefully and with Jayme alive. It must be so hard when the trail seems so cold. I do think they're trying to express that Jayme saved herself - just not very articulate. I'll give them a bit of grace for that emotion right now.

As soon as they said he took steps to conceal himself my first thought was I bet he scrubbed and deleted all SM presence. JMO.

 

[bellesnwhistles]

Jayme should get 100% credit for her own rescue, IMO.

Absolutely. But they do deserve praise for the work they did and never giving up searching for Jayme
