Jake Thomas Patterson: Arrest, Charges

Patterson has been accused of kidnapping a 13 years old girl named Jayme Closs and for the murder of Closs’ parents, James Closs and Denise Closs.

He was arrested by the authorities on Thursday, 11th January of the year 2019 on suspicion of two counts of 1st-degree intentional homicide for murders of Denise Closs and James Closs and one count of kidnapping Jayme Closs.

Patterson is being held in Barron County Jail and he has not been charged yet. According to CNN, a woman who first spotted Jayme on Thursday was Jeanne Nutter. Jeanne was walking her dog in the heavily wooded neighborhood near a small town of Gordon which is about 96.5 km north of Barron.

Jeanne described Closs as a disheveled teenage girl who called for help and quickly grabbed her. It was only then when Jayme revealed her identity. Jayme then gave a description of Patterson’s vehicle to the investigators.

A short time later, a patrol officer saw the vehicle which matched with the description and pulled it over. Jake Thomas was subsequently arrested just down the road from his residence outside of Gordon.

Jake Thomas planned his actions and also took many proactive steps for hiding his identity from the law enforcement and the general public. One of the steps included shaving the head so that he would not leave any hair behind the scene of murders and kidnapping of Jayme.

After the arrest, the authorities recovered a gun which is consistent with the gun that was used at the scene of the killings. But they are waiting for a confirmation from the Wisconsin State Crime Lab to confirm it was the same weapon that was used to kill.

Patterson used a shotgun that night to shoot open the door to the home of Jayme.

Besides that, Jake Thomas was unemployed and has no criminal history locally or in Wisconsin.
