had it been me which I'd never hope for I'd put the money in some sort of savings account for Jayme for when she grew older, which might have already happened.
@@darren6589 he means the extra mile as in like cutting through backyards and having the presence of mind to go to a neighbors home instead of her home which was closer to his. i feel like a lot of people might just go straight to their own home as fast as they could. shortest route down the street. since he had been out actively looking for her at that time, there's a high chance that she would have been spotted by him and likely would have fled town. i do consider her actions 'the extra mile' because she, again, had presence of mind in that situation.
@@darren6589 it's pretty rare, alot of people see bad things going on and they continue walking by and dont help because they dont want to be involved and think it's not their problem or buisness. You'd be surprised how often this happens. Especially if its a stranger and the person doesn't want to pick them up or have them in their vehicle, not knowing if it's a set up.
It’s so disturbing that someone is capable of committing such a horrible crime. I hope the other inmates are aware of what he did and punish him accordingly. I can’t imagine going through something that horrific. She is one strong lady and I applaud her bravery for escaping.
I hope not because that would traumatize themselves further messing up their brains and then don't forget the trauma that CO's and staff would go through, and then also other nonviolent and even violent criminals around and wrongfully incarcerated people too. 💁💁
@@Sailor183💯but sadly inmates WILL find out and if she was a minor theyll def want to do something. Tho, it doesn’t mean they will..depends on a a few factors.
@@Sailor183 yeah and some of those inmates are doing life sentences with no parole too, they got nothing else left to lose atp. Word will get around that he's a predator and all it takes is 30 seconds alone in a blind spot then it's lights out
Jeanne's call with the operator and when she said the deputy wanted her to lock the doors and peter's affirming "yep" almost made me tear up. Then he posted up outside with the shotgun. Mann, they had her and they were going to KEEP her safe. It's so hard to like people these days but that really got me and it's humbling to be reminded that not everyone in the world is evil.
yeah, the tears came once our narrator started describing the events. i cannot imagine being jayme and witnessing what she did....i hope her mental health is doing okay..
I agree. The whole story of the people who help Jayme when she escaped made me cry with absolute love for every single one of those people who helped her. They are truly angels and heroes, every one of them. I wish them all the very best.
To not only have to witness your parents murders but then to also be held captive by their killer for this long is absolutely unthinkable, and then she escaped! What a strong girl 👏
All the work the EWU put in to not making the outcome obvious absolutely smashed to bits by this comment being at the top of the list at time of viewing… glad you had time to watch it without knowing the outcome 👍
Dude, no joke, I have to remind myself that this kind of thing happens to people all the time, all over the world. I don’t mean this specific scenario, just murder, abductions, etc….it’s crazy to me. Like, this stuff actually happens. I can’t even begin to imagine any of it…so for a little girl to have to go through all this? It f**** me up to think about smh And then for the people that do this s*** to others? Idek, man. They’re not even people…how tf could you do something like this to somebody? Anybody? Smh
Theres a case in Mexico where a teenager was kidnapped and held for ransom and her parents where made to pay monthly to get her back and they would never deliver her to the parents as promised but every time they wanted money they would send them pieces of her hair an or videos of her being abused and stuff like that and this went on for three years and then they finally killed her after three years
And you heard Jeanes voice break for the first time in the whole situation. Like the cops were there and she could let her guard down. I felt it when I heard it.
It's so creepy that her abductor planned this so well. Authorities had no idea who did this. Everyone in WI was hoping shed be found. She saved herself and got lucky that someone was out and saw her. It's so scary.
If he actually had a place to keep her secure she probably would have never been found. He had her laying under her bed. With his Dad there. Ultimately I think his lack of preparedness is what saved her. Imagine if he was one of those lunatics who had a dungeon at a house in the middle of the woods to lock her up in. This could have been so much worse. And it absolutely blows my mind that the weirdo would do something like this and bring her back to his Dads house and hide her under the bed as if that was going to work. Thank God that criminals typically arent that smart.
It’s been a few years now. This girl is an absolute survivor and has my utmost respect. Jayme if by some wicked reason you see this know that you have your whole life ahead of you. You’re an absolute inspiration to everyone especially women everywhere.
So true!! And I'm also glad that she had her dog back 🙏🥲Thank God the evil oje did not dare harm the poor dog too. At least Jamie can hug her dog when shes missing Mom. And Dad😭 cz they were. Both attached to the pet aswell. I cant imagine how many predators we might be passing by on the road as we travel. In this day and age evil has worsened.
@@elitarantula2833 So let me understand this correctly You say thank " god " that the dog wasn't hurt ?!? So " god" watched over the dog but was OK with the little girl getting kidnapped??!! I'm big time confused!!
@@dewalt459it’s just a phrase people use. Of course no omnipotent god would allow a 12 year old girl to be kidnapped and subjected to torture. Right? Not Jesus of course. The “blindly follow me or be subjected to an eternal punishment”. Not that peaceful loving god of course. 😂
I worked with her parents at the local Turkey store in Barron. She was the sweetest. He had a humorous personality. As it only 10 minutes away from my house at the time. It was certainly frightening. I remembered thinking to myself, "where did they take her?" If Jamie ever reads this, my heart will always go out to you. You are one of the bravest people I've ever heard of. Your parents were not just wonderful people, but absolute pure and loving. May you enjoy your life at the absolute best you possibly can. Always in your heart honey. ♥
Imagine being the woman who Jayme came up to while she was walking her dogs. My heart would have been going a MILLION miles a minute. You’re watching this whole case unfold and the girl who is missing is right in front of you. Thank God she called the cops right away and got her help. Thank God for that family they went to and the man staying by the door with a shotgun. Thank God Jayme saved herself!!!! It’s a miracle she had no injuries. Praying for Jayme still. I know she has to still be traumatized. Probably for life. Lord have mercy. I was crying my eyes out when they told about her being in the bathtub with her mom trying to protect her 😭 I hope they gave Jayme that $50k reward for saving herself. She deserves it.
I was gonna say I’d love if the money had been given to Jeanne but she gave it/split it with Jayme. While she acted quickly and did the right thing to keep Jayme safe that girl found the courage to save herself ❤
Would that be the same "god" who permitted the kidnapping to happen? The same "god" who knew that it was already going to happen, and did nothing to stop it? The same "god" who originated the idea of it when it "created" the whole world? Really?
my ex wife was a dispatcher she always hated the job i use to always push her to stay good money and benefits but not everyone is cut out for that type of action
@@KingwavyyTv pushing her to stay in a job she hates that has major potential to destroy mental health and cause PTSD just because it paid decent money is kind of awful
When he got caught, he was literally out looking to reclaim her. She is so lucky that neighbor found her and that the other neighbors also helped. Thank God he didn't find her first. ❤
Naw he was driving back from wherever he went to and she finally felt the confidence to get out even tho there were no lock or chains she was just traumatized seeing her mom and dad like that and I don’t blame her one bit
First it seemed that he was just on his way home and got caught cause Jayme escaped, but later they say he got caught cause he was out looking for her?….
Huge props to the lady who initially saw her and got her to a safe location and the guy standing guard until police arrived. (Love that the first cop told him to stay put while he covered the back) We spend so much time talking about the bad ones that it’s important to remember there are still good people out there willing to help when called upon.
I’ve heard a ton of about this case, but it never ceases to horrify and absolutely amaze me. The father who misinterpreted information from the other side of the door leading to his death, the mother trying to protect her daughter as she herself was being M’ed, to the daughter that witnessed BOTH of her parents die right in front of her only to be kidnapped with god knows what in store for her. She is absolutely AMAZING. She wasn’t found, she RESCUED HERSELF. There’s been a few cases I’ve heard like this where the intended victim manipulates their kidnapper, takes in all the information they can, and gauge the best moment to make their move to escape or flag an alert to someone. The STRENGTH it takes to not only FIGHT, but to carefully weigh out your options and plan in such a high state of fear is truly remarkable. No one knows how they will act in a state of life-threatening fear-you got fight, flight, freeze, and fawn.. and sometimes the best way to get out of it is to fawn when needed to lull the perp into a false sense of security, and fight when you have your moment. As an autistic/adhd person, lm generally a freezer (shutdown) or a fawner and my mind cannot process the information in a helpful way or in a speedy way, so I’m always in awe of folks that meet these kinds of odds and get THEMSELVES out of it.
What do you mean by M'ed? Do you mean murdered or is it something else? Surely youtube wouldn't punish you for saying murdered or does it mean something else? It's a genuine question, promise I'm not trying to be funny - there's nothing funny at all in this article.....x
I do like how the officers ask if there was anything they could've done to help. It shows that they both want to save lives and also take responsibility for not finding a way to save them.
they also had to live with themselves, and to know from a medical professional, that there was nothing that could have been done, helps them to deal with it, not 'if I had only...' kind of things
Okay, the 911 Call at 24:56 genuinely made me start crying. Imagine hugging your mother really hard feeling scared for your life knowing that your father is possibly deceased. I cannot imagine the horrors this child saw.
If he ended up murdering her, this case would have absolutely gone cold. There just wasn’t any evidence to link him to the crime. It’s CRAZY he decided to murder her parents just to kidnap her, like really?
Anybody who is willing to commit such horrible acts is doing it for what they consider a reason. Why would anybody break into a house, kill everybody, and NOT take any valuables? Jayme was the valuable he wanted. If she put up a strong fight after he got her to his dad's house, and he killed her there, then there would be evidence linking him. I'm just so glad she's still alive and that horrible monster is behind bars.
@@theclearsounds3911 guess the point was that he could've taken her when she was alone outside the house. people are vulnerable especially when they're alone waiting for something like a bus stop. if there's no other people around the attacker could just calmly get out of the car, open the trunk and while the victim might find it strange they wouldn't necessarily expect anything to be wrong until they have a gun in their face and they were told to get in the trunk and at that point they're out of options.
@@snooks5607 I agree that I missed the point on that one. But he spent so much time and effort into not getting caught, I don't think he wanted to risk taking her in broad daylight in front of her own house, with the bus coming at any time, and other traffic zooming by. So many potential witnesses. When you have no morals, you don't mind killing people to get away with doing what you want to.
It’s definitely surreal hearing the officers discover the bodies and being able to listen to their initial reaction. 😳 I hope they receive some type of help for having to see such horrific deaths like this.
I find it to be one of those deeply odd things in life when you see someone and want to just say something nice to them or even give them a big old hug; but it'd either be wildly inappropriate or taken badly because you don't know them well enough. This has to be like one of the most extreme cases of this. You wouldn't want to say anything to her because you wouldn't want her to know that others are recognising her. It's likely really hard for her to go to shops already as it is. I hope she has a good life
@Inu253 buddy i literally do.. my school raised money and we all wore green "bring jayme home" shirts💀 why would i even lie about that this happened in barron, wi and i drive past where her house was almost on a daily
That's awesome to hear! I was just commenting about her, that this awful test will become a testimony of strength to all who hear it. Lord bless and keep her.💝🙏
I'm absolutely speechless... being the father of an 11 year old daughter, I can't imagine how helpless Jaymes parents must have felt in their final moments... Hopefully, her parents are watching over her. And are proud of her! And even though they died, the strength they gifted to Jayme, is ultimately what saved her life. My heart goes out to the Closs family and friends. And most importantly to Jayme herself. God bless. 🙌😇
True, but the dead knows nothing. Our aspirations and hope is in that we will be caught up with the Saints. That we all will see our loved ones and reign with God forever.
I would be willing to bet that while she was captive, she was getting comfort and love from them, and guidance. Because the timing of her escape was divine.
That interview with Kyle was infuriating, regardless of the delusional thinking. Him saying he was trying to help and all his tangential nonsense, yet was caught in their house taking Jamie’s underwear, and still has the nerve to say “all child molesters need to die”. You don’t take an underage missing girls underwear to “help” in anyway, except to help your own fetishes.
It wasn’t delusional thinking. He was literally just saying anything he could to paint himself as a hero and not the degenerate he actually is. He knew what he was doing.
I really appreciate that you always include the fates of pets, and I'm so happy Jayme is reunited with her pup. The media heartlessly omit whatever happens to our furry buds, but they are our loving family whose experiences and lives matter too.
I remember "watching" this case go down in real time. . .and the speculations while Jayme was STILL MISSING made my stomach turn. The Facebook posts in this video are just a blip of the stuff I saw. So many people saying she was suspect number one while she was missing--and then even after the girl had been found and was safe there were STILL people analyzing her body language, her facial expressions, her speech patterns. . .it was disgusting. Shock and grief effects everyone differently and it's awful to think it's okay to read someone's body language, which can just not match up at all (for example, some Autistic folks like myself just go completely blank when under pressure and it makes us look cold and unfeeling when really we're trying to prevent a meltdown of emotion), and assume the girl was in on it. And double down further that you think she's lying when the police have cleared her because you "know better" than trained police officers. Give me a break.
The internet brings out all the ppl who think they're experts on solving crimes. Yeah the body language reading is ridiculous. They're all pseudo-intellects. Full of ego and little sense.
Same with Idaho quad murder survivors, and the husband of the Cancer doc who shot herself and baby. Social media gives these mouth breathers a platform to keep the conspiracies whirling around and it just turns into a storm
I can just barely imagine the strength of the instinct that she must of had to stay smart and stay alive despite the shock, fear and horror of her parent’s murder on top of her own violent abduction. She did so well in dealing with such a horrific and potentially fatal situation and such a deranged individual.
So many sick people. The man who shot this innocent family, the monster who stole this child, Kyle who raided intimate items from their home, the hidden monsters on media accusing a 13 year old of a heinous crime. God bless you brave Jayme I sincerely hope you are able to go on to have a good life 🙏
As a father this had me all over my emotions. I have 2 daughters and 3 sons. My biggest fear like many other parents is that something happens to any of my children let alone my girls. Im so happy she was found alive. May her parents rest in peace 🕊️.
Yeah no kidding when Im a father Im going to watch my kids like a hawk and Im not going to shelter them from reality Im going to teach them that there are evil people out there and what they are capable of. You just gotta find the right balance between informing them without making them terrified to live their lives. My kids will also be learning how and when to use weapons at a young age.
@@Shreddittrading theres another story of a 8 year old Shasta Groene which was more brutual than this,her parents and 9 year old brother killed in front of her.and he tried to kill her also.
On the other hand, imagine being the father of this guy and learning that he killed two parents and then kept their daughter in your house even while you were there visiting.
Can you imagine the horror Jamie felt after seeing her mother’s head blown up and then seeing her deceased father? And then the horror of being held captive? She will be forever with open wounds to her soul! 🥺
I don't live far from Barron and this case gripped all of us for the entirety. Her picture was everywhere and burned in our brains. I can recognize it from the tiniest of thumbnails. NOTHING violent happens around here and this family seemed like a random target right from the beginning because of their genuine, sweet nature. I still think about that sweet child at least monthly and hope so much for peace in her heart
i live about an hour south of barron. jayme is about the same age as me, and i still vividly remember receiving her amber alert in the middle of class in high school, the fear and sadness that washed over the room as our phones starting going off. some of my classmates had competed with her in sports (maybe cross country?). i still think about her and her family to this day and we were all so relieved to hear she was found and safe. rip the closs family
Although it may be quite and quaint up there, just south about 45 miles is Eau Claire. That, and places like La Crosse aren't much different than septic tanks like Detroit, near me. Sometimes they back up and make a mess. I remember this very well myself, and I'm so thankful she's alive and can hopefully be able to deal with the mountain of trauma she has endured. I strongly feel that you don't have to serve in the military to suffer from combat induced PTSD. That young lady was literally at war with the devil himself. I personally couldn't be more inspired by her strength and bravery!
the wait for the police to arrive was absolutely tense. no one knew if the police was coming first or if the kidnapper was going to track her down guns blazing. i hope jamie recovers well and lives her best life, and thank you to the kind hearted individuals who protected her while they waited for the authorities.
I mean I kind of knew he wasn't going to find them at some neighbors house like how would he even know? Maybe during the escape on the street yeah that must be terrifying but once inside she was safe especially with a man holding a shotgun at the door. Still 30 minutes for responder? Why do they always take so long? We need dispatcher there like in 5 min. I'll be so anxious waiting that long.
Idk why hearing that the neighbor loaded his gun to guard the door made me feel emotional. Just awesome to know there are people out there the are the exact opposite of the piece of shit murderer
That is the definition of a victim. We have the technology and tools to protect ourselves better but yet we are at still risk of becoming victims. I isn't fair. ❤
@@babble2leezayeah yeah, set yourself up in as much ideas of your comfort cause you set up protective barometers to surround yourself with. Predators seek to always find the holes and the element of surprise to catch you off guard. He bursts his ass in the front door with such vigor with that shotgun. They had no chance. How many cases you want me to give examples of how predators will wait you out until they prounce would you like?
This ia hands down the best true crime channel out there. The amount of time put into every video you guys do shows. Its scary though knowing there is so many sick people out there and that 80% of these videos I havent even heard about. Props to the narrator! I could listen to him talk all day. As for Jaymie is such a brave and strong girl. Unbelievable that she survived through all this.
totally agree on the quality of the narrator - i keep looking for more vids of theirs just to hear this guy tell the stories - found that a lot of their earlier vids arent done by him tho
The woman whom Jayme found was a social worker, so that was fortunate. Here’s a quote about it: “I went to her and she just sort of grabbed onto me and she told me who she was. I’ve been a social worker my whole life. I was in child protection, so I believe my CPS personality just turned on.”
AW you didn't have too. I wasn't picking on you, I actually went back to see who got it right and it appears that we both were right. Lady was out with dog and Jayme was on the street too - so I guess they found each other. Have a good one TRex @@TRex-fu7bt
I hope the young girl can move on after this. I was fostered out at her age after my last remaining parent died and it was a horrible, cold and confusing time. I'm in my sixties now and it still haunts me. It's good she's with loving grandparents.
Jeanne Nutter is my grandmother:s sister in law. She is ex social worker and while her background helped her know what to do and stay calm in the situation, she knows she was just in the right place at the right time. she commends Jayme for her bravery to rescue herself from such a terrifying situation.
Just a tip from a carpenter: make sure you have 3 inch screws in your door jam into the stud to prevent the door from being kicked in. This also applies to the catch on the door if you have a solid wood door. Not all locks are equal so make sure you pick quality over price!
To think people thought on Social media this little girl could kill her parents, the ones that loved and cared for her and she loved them very much is disgusting, then claimed she was guilty of doing such a gruesome crime without any evidence pointing to that being the case. Police had already dismissed that theory. 88 days frightened after witnessing her parents being murdered by this nut case and finally working up the courage to escape. You should never pass judgement on something without truly knowing the facts 1st hand. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Poor girl. So glad for her to hear, that she is thriving and staying with her grandparents but still not something anyone as a child would want to experience or be exposed to...ever. I've just seen this.
Jeanne is my great aunt. She was walking her dog Henry when jayme approached her. Jeanne was a social worker for a long time, so she was the perfect person for Jayme to approach
Jayme I hope that you wherever you are you’re still able to move past what this monster did to you and your parents. You deserve at this he very least happiness for the rest of your days after the strength you have shown
i’m so happy she was reunited with her pup… the single surviving, loving member of her family home. after all she witnessed, she immediately said she wanted to go home, even knowing for a fact her parents were gone. she’s a very tough, brave girl…
The police also tried to take all the credit of finding her. When she rescued herself. The community had to push on them to give Jayme the reward money when they didn't want to at first.
It’s a miracle Jayme is even alive. I cannot even begin to imagine the amount of terror during the home invasion. I truly hope she got all the help she needed afterwards and the perpetrator suffers on the highest possible level.
I live 15 min away from where this happened and my niece was in her grade and were friends, they just graduated this last school year. I was obviously at the graduation for my niece and got to watch Jayme walk across that stage and receive her diploma, needless to say, I bawled my eyes out!
Awe, I'm glad she's moving on in life and not letting this keep her from living, as tragic as it is.. her ultimate revenge is to heal and live to the fullest 😢
Videos like this one are what I am going to try to remember when looking downrange defending my familys home after society completely collapses. People suck, Thanks for sharing
I cry for things like this. The empathy I have for these kids that experience horrible shit is beyond words. They don't deserve this shit, no kid does. I hope wherever Jayme is, she can heal and know that people love her
I grew up less than 5 miles from the scene where she lived. This was a shock to our small community. Last I heard Jamie is doing well but I don't know her personally. But thank you for sharing the story
I agree with the comments regarding the bravery and caring of the neighbors who helped Jaimie stay safe until law enforcement arrived. I wasn’t completely surprised though, coming from a similar small town In Michigan. That is exactly what complete strangers do for each other regardless of the risk of their own lives in these areas. I applaud them and pray for jaymies well being.
The 3 that protected her without a moments hesitation, you are the heroes this world needs! Jayme was able to be safe for the first time in months, thanks to your nurturing natures. I hope... really, really hope that Jayme is able to live a life that is fit for a warrior. She is a monumental warrior. Her parents would be so proud how she got out. I'm sorry as heck for her loss, I can't even imagine.
I just want to take the time to thank everyone at EWU for the consistent amazing content! Im a long time follower and you guys are my number one crime channel! Keep up the great work everyone!
I would also like to thank ewu too. The cases they cover are so good 👍It's unfortunate that there has to be victims involved for me to enjoy crime documentary.
Facts… they are the best by far and they literally deserve a big time deal and to get paid by Netflix or HBO but then again i want them to be there own boss and keep running stuff like they r and not be controlled by the main stream but ever since i found them i have been addicted and no other channel comes close
I remember this case, staff and teachers at my school were on edge hearing of this case. We had all hoped for a good out come, that Jayme would be found and be returned to her family. I remember coming home every single day after school and just looking up any update there was. Then came the update everyone hoped for. The day that Jayme was found alive! I just remember crying out of joy knowing that she's alive and was able to go back to the rest of her family and her dog.
Jayme is a true hero, she survived an unimaginable situation, my heart goes out to her for the horrible loss of her parents. I'm glad to hear this creep will never step back into society
This case was huge pretty much across the whole Midwest when it was still a mystery where she was. It was the most relieving thing when she was said to be alive and safe. It’s so horrible and twisted what that man did to her and her parents. I can’t imagine the pain she lives with everyday. I hope she continues to be strong and has a long, wonderful life ahead of her ❤️
Jayme displayed so much strength and courage throughout such a hellacious situation on top of witnessing her parents being murdered prior to her kidnapping. The fact that she was able to escape and find a good samaritan to assist her is an incredible act of bravery. I hope that she is doing well and is continuing to heal from the immense loss and trauma that she had to endure. 💞
I remember this case like it happened yesterday. I think everyone in Wisconsin was cheering when it was announced on the news that she had escaped her kidnapper and saved herself. We were all shocked to find out she was still alive. It was such a joyous day, especially for her remaining relatives.
I'm from nearby and she was found during a varsity basketball game. They stopped everything and announced it over the loudspeakers. Then in the following weeks we would force teachers to play press conferences during class. Our math teacher had gone to school with her mom.
The photo of Jayme and her dad at the end really hit me, reminded me of me and my daughter. This is a lesson for parents in this world -- locking doors might not always be enough.
No one said how he got into their house. Did he break in or was the door unlocked? The 911 operator told the neighbors who found her to lock the door. Maybe it was the custom there to not lock doors, and the killer just walked in. I was amazed that anyone had to be told to lock doors in 2018.
the video states that the door was kicked in. There is a picture of the door all bashed in and their were several heavy locks on the door, which i assume they used.
I remember in 8th grade, when Jayme Closs first went missing, I remember seeing her picture all over the internet and I remember when she was found, I will never forget how I felt during that time, it was the first time in my life that I realized that stuff like this could happen to someone that was my age.
This brought tears to my eyes. I can’t even imagine what Jayme witnessed. I hope she has the most comfort in the world from her loved ones. I’m so tired of sick depraved men taking from women and I’m so sorry Jayme had to endure this heartbreaking trauma at the hands of such a sick man. She’s such a strong and brave girl to have escaped.
So youre not sick of depraved women doing the same thing to men? So annoying how you weirdos cant resist always having to turn things that everyone should be agreeing on into a race/gender argument.
I have wondered how Jaime is doing now. She is one smart strong and brave girl. The fact she left that despicable creeps house as soon as she could. I think if she had tried to escape before she had lulled him into a sense of false security that she was happy to be there and wouldn’t leave. That was enough to not lock her up and away. And shortly after he left she grabbed what she could to be warm enough outside in the Midwest winter. I’m so proud she found someone to help her on her journey outside of that house. I don’t remember why the dog walker didn’t bring her to her house. I’m just happy that the first house that they came to got her inside and helped her. And even after the creep was arrested. I’m glad he realized he didn’t have a chance of getting away with it and he just pled guilty. So Jaime wouldn’t have to go through explaining everything that she knew. At least he was considerate of not making her testify. I hope he is scared to death daily in his prison cell. And I hope he is forced to think about the fact he will never see her again.
I was obsessed with this case and there is information not put in this 1 90 percent of the time because he was up on on her never letting her alone he was unemployed he was at home it was only very little amount of time that she was under the bed he was there constantly 2 They shared the same bed very weird 3 He didn’t exactly say he did it right away like they said but it did confess very soon after he was arrested 4 When police came to get Jayme once she found out they arrested patterson they officers said she smiled a lot 5 When she was found and at the neighbors house she was said to be in a very dazed extremely exhausted shaking not reacting shock type of state hair extremely matted Very skinny just very flat state emotions 6 The FBI was investigating involved with this case from day one it was extremely throughly investigated from the start 7 She was given a ton of physical test done and the hospital and a mental evaluation and wasn’t reunited with her aunt/her moms older sister until late the next afternoon to legally adopt her . She gave her aunt a massive hug when she saw her aunt. 8 All her family members have said they can totally see the trauma and damage. She is different after she got back 9 Her aunt made her get into trauma therapy soon after they got her home 10 He confessed in prison had a goal of killing multiple family’s and stealing their very young preteen/early teen daughters and torturing them play mind games with them he said he wanted to see the world burn. 11 He made her play games with him all the time and forced her to act like a wife and cook all homemade food for him 12 I know from following the case in real time that they dropped the charges in the county he held Jayme in. He did sexual assault/r@pe her. But her aunt who adopted her and her aunts and uncles from both sides decided to not take those charges to trial so as to not traumatize her and make those details public. They made sure to put as little information as to what happened to her in the public records. He’s a registered sex offender 13 Her cousin who is a woman is a police officer and they saw her picture with in the house recognized her as a colleague called her then that was how they found out she lived there. 14 Her police cousin is the daughter of the older sister of Jayme mom who adopted her. 15 Jayme has said that she would reveal what happened to her and do an interview but it would be in several years so she can be healed enough emotionally to do so 16 Jayme is 18 years old this year and at college 17 Her family is extremely protective of her and came together won’t do interviews until Jayme is emotionally ready and only after she does hers 18 Barron has only had 3 murders in Almost 40 years. 19 They tore down jayme home she wanted it torn down so she wouldn’t be traumatized by seeing it 20 Her aunt who adopted her had a daycare service she also lives in Barron she looked after Jayme everyday of the week sometimes Saturdays while her parents worked for 12 years straight she was basically a second mom to Jayme.,
@@vntajones How do you know all this information? And what did you mean about her cousin? She was a officer and they saw her picture and that was how they knew it was her house? What???? How’s picture and who’s house? And what did it have to do with her cousin the cop? Sorry I understood most of that. But that spot got me confused.
21:45 even if he had no intentions of shooting anyone, the fact that man loaded a shotgun and stood guard at the door to make this girl feel safer is really really cool. he sounds like a good person.
Not only that, but the deputies then told him to stay in position while they continued to formulate a plan. Very atypical, normally they would remove the loaded firearm from the situation.
I know so many girls that complain that they are constantly accosted by weird men from the age of 12. Jamie is just another example of why they feel the way they do. The way Some men men act around women is atrocious. Kyle heard about the crime and got excited. That boy went over there to sniff some panties and got caught in the act. He wasn't there to solve the crime and find the girl. Mental illness can be weird as heck without proper treatment.
I'm 25 and still getting cat called on a near-daily basis. I live in a pretty popular neighborhood. It's terrifying to be on guard every time I step outside to walk to the pharmacy or to the market. I cannot possibly imagine how terrifying it was for Jayme.
I’m twice your age and still get weird men trying to talk to me and ask me to go places. I’ve been followed in stores, and just walking around. I always have pepper spray in my hand, and am constantly on high alert. It’s not only scary, but exhausting. I’d love to feel safe on a walk alone, especially at night. It’s horrible always feeling like this.
@@acovenofmany333 why? Its not safe for men to walk alone at night either, if not more dangerous. You should never feel comfortable walking alone at night, be aware of your surroundings or try to avoid that situation at all costs, there's too many crazy people out there.
This is the gold standard of a true crime documentary. The full story, all the players and their parts, no dramatisation or imagining what people are thinking, no distracting music, no sound effects or gratuitous use of slide transitions or it's evil cousin the bright flash of white in the middle of a dark scenes, fantastically clear narration, and finally, a conclusion. I thank each and every one of you at EWU.
The near immediate sense of urgency in the initial officers' voices and words tells you the severity of the situation before the story even began to unfold. You get that sense, even without hearing the prior 911 call. Some audio clips tell the story with a somewhat steady sense of progression, but hearing the one officer say "Get a long gun. QUICK" takes it from 1 to 100.
I will never know how officers are able to stomach the site of a dead body. I know i wouldn’t be able to handle the site of someone who was dead if i was an officer.
Ain't no different than a living person. We're all the same. Ya get used to it. Those who don't, get used to the bottle and the comfort of the coldness of their gun.
I don’t know about this situation and country, but with some traumatic situation they’re going to a room after they’re done. There they can talk with each other and/or with a professionals (if needed). This is for medics, firefighters and police. I’ve seen this on tv, where a paramedic said this and showed the room. I don’t if it’s special room or a break room or whatever. Dispatchers can also take a break after a heavy situation (I can imagine after hearing the lady scream, you’ll need a break).
This is so terrible what happened to this girl. I'm really relieved that this monster didn't abused her, because all the trauma she has already suffered is bad enough
ive heard a million 911 calls and this one always rings in my nightmares, you can hear the fear in her mothers voice trying to protect her baby.. and i cant imagine that poor girl going through that then keeping her cool for 88 days..
I am glad she got to be reuined with her dog. Pets are family and she likely feels like she at least gets to be with one family member from her home as she remembers it.
Like so many of you out there that watched, prayed, followed this when it happened, it still rips my heart to pieces. I often think of Jayme and pray for her. I can’t imagine all of the horror she experienced. God bless her and keep her always.
As crazy as this story was, what in the hell was Kyle upto... not only was he on some sicko shit, he wasted cops time investing him as a suspect. Someone needs to put that guy on a registry.
He stole her underwear. Then made up some BS excuse about a homeless shelter, then that he'd getting gender-changing surgery. He didn't want to admit he was a sick pervert. At least he didn't kidnap her, but the cops need to keep an eye on this guy.
Today I have been rewatching all of EWU channel’s (main channel, story time and body cam) previous videos and ran out of content. Thank you for uploading exactly when we needed it❤
There was also a huge reward for the lady who found her, but she refused to take it saying Jayme deserved it more
That’s amazing. Absolutely the right thing to do.
A true and honest soul.
That's so wholesome. I want to force that woman to accept money.
Oh really ❤
had it been me which I'd never hope for I'd put the money in some sort of savings account for Jayme for when she grew older, which might have already happened.
Shout out to the lady who went the extra mile to keep this girl safe. We need more people like her who actually care.
Showout. To the lady who went the extra mile. To keep this gril. Safe we need More people like her who. Aco care

@@darren6589 he means the extra mile as in like cutting through backyards and having the presence of mind to go to a neighbors home instead of her home which was closer to his. i feel like a lot of people might just go straight to their own home as fast as they could. shortest route down the street. since he had been out actively looking for her at that time, there's a high chance that she would have been spotted by him and likely would have fled town. i do consider her actions 'the extra mile' because she, again, had presence of mind in that situation.
@@darren6589 it's pretty rare, alot of people see bad things going on and they continue walking by and dont help because they dont want to be involved and think it's not their problem or buisness.

It’s so disturbing that someone is capable of committing such a horrible crime. I hope the other inmates are aware of what he did and punish him accordingly. I can’t imagine going through something that horrific. She is one strong lady and I applaud her bravery for escaping.

I hope not because that would traumatize themselves further messing up their brains and then don't forget the trauma that CO's and staff would go through, and then also other nonviolent and even violent criminals around and wrongfully incarcerated people too. 💁💁

Jeanne's call with the operator and when she said the deputy wanted her to lock the doors and peter's affirming "yep" almost made me tear up. Then he posted up outside with the shotgun. Mann, they had her and they were going to KEEP her safe. It's so hard to like people these days but that really got me and it's humbling to be reminded that not everyone in the world is evil.
yeah, the tears came once our narrator started describing the events. i cannot imagine being jayme and witnessing what she did....i hope her mental health is doing okay..
..
I was shocked they had to be told to lock the doors!
I agree. The whole story of the people who help Jayme when she escaped made me cry with absolute love for every single one of those people who helped her. They are truly angels and heroes, every one of them. I wish them all the very best.
@@ORSkieI think they already had them locked before the 911 call, from what I recall reading about this back when it happened.

@ExposingEverythingwtf are you talking about?
Those screams during the 911 audio is what hell sounds like
So true
My thoughts exactly!!!!
Cop on the line: hello??
I could barely listen to it 😢💔
Yea then the dispatcher just: (unamused)Hellooo
To not only have to witness your parents murders but then to also be held captive by their killer for this long is absolutely unthinkable, and then she escaped! What a strong girl 👏
All the work the EWU put in to not making the outcome obvious absolutely smashed to bits by this comment being at the top of the list at time of viewing… glad you had time to watch it without knowing the outcome 👍
Dude, no joke, I have to remind myself that this kind of thing happens to people all the time, all over the world. I don’t mean this specific scenario, just murder, abductions, etc….it’s crazy to me. Like, this stuff actually happens. I can’t even begin to imagine any of it…so for a little girl to have to go through all this? It f**** me up to think about smh And then for the people that do this s*** to others? Idek, man. They’re not even people…how tf could you do something like this to somebody? Anybody? Smh
Not to mention he made her sleep in his bed every night with him for over two months. Jeezuss.
@@MAJ0RMEL0DY personally I don't read the comments until after I watch the video
Theres a case in Mexico where a teenager was kidnapped and held for ransom and her parents where made to pay monthly to get her back and they would never deliver her to the parents as promised but every time they wanted money they would send them pieces of her hair an or videos of her being abused and stuff like that and this went on for three years and then they finally killed her after three years
Ending with “and was reunited with her dog” made me SO happy.
Right?! At least another living being made it out of the house with her. That definitely helped to provide some comfort
Yeah that probably helped her get through this even more than she knows. Doggos always help make everything better.
@@Shreddittrading Except when the dog was the first to run off and hide lol.
Literally probably the only reason the dog survived @@nexrole884

And what Peter did, getting his gun and guarding the front of the house 😙
And you heard Jeanes voice break for the first time in the whole situation. Like the cops were there and she could let her guard down. I felt it when I heard it.
It's so creepy that her abductor planned this so well. Authorities had no idea who did this. Everyone in WI was hoping shed be found. She saved herself and got lucky that someone was out and saw her. It's so scary.
The scary part is how random it was.. that's how he got away with it for so long
He admitted he didn't plan this at all! He even expected to be caught alot sooner
@@shirleycooper5674nah he did plan it bro 30:12
If he actually had a place to keep her secure she probably would have never been found. He had her laying under her bed. With his Dad there. Ultimately I think his lack of preparedness is what saved her. Imagine if he was one of those lunatics who had a dungeon at a house in the middle of the woods to lock her up in. This could have been so much worse. And it absolutely blows my mind that the weirdo would do something like this and bring her back to his Dads house and hide her under the bed as if that was going to work. Thank God that criminals typically arent that smart.
@@ShreddittradingI agree
It’s been a few years now. This girl is an absolute survivor and has my utmost respect. Jayme if by some wicked reason you see this know that you have your whole life ahead of you. You’re an absolute inspiration to everyone especially women everywhere.
So true!! And I'm also glad that she had her dog back 🙏🥲Thank God the evil oje did not dare harm the poor dog too. At least Jamie can hug her dog when shes missing Mom. And Dad😭 cz they were. Both attached to the pet aswell. I cant imagine how many predators we might be passing by on the road as we travel. In this day and age evil has worsened.

hearing what she went through is absolutely heartbreaking. im glad that she is apparently doing well these days.
Right?? Its unimaginable! I hope she gets all the mental help she will surely need! 🙏🏾❤️
I worked with her parents at the local Turkey store in Barron. She was the sweetest. He had a humorous personality. As it only 10 minutes away from my house at the time. It was certainly frightening. I remembered thinking to myself, "where did they take her?" If Jamie ever reads this, my heart will always go out to you. You are one of the bravest people I've ever heard of. Your parents were not just wonderful people, but absolute pure and loving. May you enjoy your life at the absolute best you possibly can. Always in your heart honey. ♥
That’s sad I am really sorry for your lose

Always that one who know all the family, and apparently the people who die are always the best people in the village.

@@AlexandreGwell the worst people in the village are generally the ones who did the killing.
Imagine being the woman who Jayme came up to while she was walking her dogs. My heart would have been going a MILLION miles a minute. You’re watching this whole case unfold and the girl who is missing is right in front of you. Thank God she called the cops right away and got her help. Thank God for that family they went to and the man staying by the door with a shotgun. Thank God Jayme saved herself!!!! It’s a miracle she had no injuries. Praying for Jayme still. I know she has to still be traumatized. Probably for life. Lord have mercy. I was crying my eyes out when they told about her being in the bathtub with her mom trying to protect her 😭 I hope they gave Jayme that $50k reward for saving herself. She deserves it.
The money was offered to the lady she met on the road. She refused it and Said Jamie should have it to pay the therapist bills Annie
@@mikelarsen7594 oh that’s awesome!!!!!! I hope they gave it to her:
Oh yeah, thank god also for saving Jayme's parents. Stop drinking.
I was gonna say I’d love if the money had been given to Jeanne but she gave it/split it with Jayme. While she acted quickly and did the right thing to keep Jayme safe that girl found the courage to save herself ❤
Would that be the same "god" who permitted the kidnapping to happen? The same "god" who knew that it was already going to happen, and did nothing to stop it? The same "god" who originated the idea of it when it "created" the whole world? Really?
This happened 20 minutes from where we live. I had to drive past her house every day to get to work. My prayers are still with this sweet girl
There seems to be a lot of people in the comments who live 10 or 20 minutes away from her 😂

Huge props to the lady who initially saw her and got her to a safe location and the guy standing guard until police arrived. (Love that the first cop told him to stay put while he covered the back)
We spend so much time talking about the bad ones that it’s important to remember there are still good people out there willing to help when called upon.
I think the majority of humans are actually more than willing to help. We are shown only the bad as a way to break our spirit.
That poor girl, being kidnapped and having no parents to go back to. Absolutely horrific. I truly hope she finds happiness & peace
The only good thing really is her dog… bless her, I hope she’s doing better now
She wasn’t “found”. She rescued herself.
Still found in the street, but i agree, and heartbreaking.
Damn right
It's legal terminology. I really wish yall would understand that. They will never go to trial and say she rescued herself. Yall weird.
Who gives a fuck as long as she was alive.
Uhh..🤓 excuse me uh...🤓🤓 you made a grammatical error🤓🤓🤓. lol stfu you spoiled the story
I’ve heard a ton of about this case, but it never ceases to horrify and absolutely amaze me. The father who misinterpreted information from the other side of the door leading to his death, the mother trying to protect her daughter as she herself was being M’ed, to the daughter that witnessed BOTH of her parents die right in front of her only to be kidnapped with god knows what in store for her.
She is absolutely AMAZING. She wasn’t found, she RESCUED HERSELF. There’s been a few cases I’ve heard like this where the intended victim manipulates their kidnapper, takes in all the information they can, and gauge the best moment to make their move to escape or flag an alert to someone. The STRENGTH it takes to not only FIGHT, but to carefully weigh out your options and plan in such a high state of fear is truly remarkable. No one knows how they will act in a state of life-threatening fear-you got fight, flight, freeze, and fawn.. and sometimes the best way to get out of it is to fawn when needed to lull the perp into a false sense of security, and fight when you have your moment. As an autistic/adhd person, lm generally a freezer (shutdown) or a fawner and my mind cannot process the information in a helpful way or in a speedy way, so I’m always in awe of folks that meet these kinds of odds and get THEMSELVES out of it.
I think we're all amazed by this girl
What do you mean by M'ed? Do you mean murdered or is it something else? Surely youtube wouldn't punish you for saying murdered or does it mean something else? It's a genuine question, promise I'm not trying to be funny - there's nothing funny at all in this article.....x
@@nicolaclark yeah, the Mom was killed so pretty sure M'd means murdered.

When? I like to skip that part.
*nerve racking
@@jsalome17 I meant to put that but thank you!
I do like how the officers ask if there was anything they could've done to help. It shows that they both want to save lives and also take responsibility for not finding a way to save them.
they also had to live with themselves, and to know from a medical professional, that there was nothing that could have been done, helps them to deal with it, not 'if I had only...' kind of things
Okay, the 911 Call at 24:56 genuinely made me start crying. Imagine hugging your mother really hard feeling scared for your life knowing that your father is possibly deceased. I cannot imagine the horrors this child saw.
If he ended up murdering her, this case would have absolutely gone cold. There just wasn’t any evidence to link him to the crime. It’s CRAZY he decided to murder her parents just to kidnap her, like really?
Anybody who is willing to commit such horrible acts is doing it for what they consider a reason. Why would anybody break into a house, kill everybody, and NOT take any valuables? Jayme was the valuable he wanted. If she put up a strong fight after he got her to his dad's house, and he killed her there, then there would be evidence linking him. I'm just so glad she's still alive and that horrible monster is behind bars.
@@theclearsounds3911 guess the point was that he could've taken her when she was alone outside the house.
people are vulnerable especially when they're alone waiting for something like a bus stop. if there's no other people around the attacker could just calmly get out of the car, open the trunk and while the victim might find it strange they wouldn't necessarily expect anything to be wrong until they have a gun in their face and they were told to get in the trunk and at that point they're out of options.
Good point. Very possible. He is an animal, and that’s an insult to animals as they don’t kill their own unless they are threatened.
@@snooks5607 I agree that I missed the point on that one. But he spent so much time and effort into not getting caught, I don't think he wanted to risk taking her in broad daylight in front of her own house, with the bus coming at any time, and other traffic zooming by. So many potential witnesses. When you have no morals, you don't mind killing people to get away with doing what you want to.
Many cold cases got solved after some years. It all comes to light one day through mysterious circumstances and modern day technology.
It’s definitely surreal hearing the officers discover the bodies and being able to listen to their initial reaction. 😳 I hope they receive some type of help for having to see such horrific deaths like this.

I find it to be one of those deeply odd things in life when you see someone and want to just say something nice to them or even give them a big old hug; but it'd either be wildly inappropriate or taken badly because you don't know them well enough.

I remember "watching" this case go down in real time. . .and the speculations while Jayme was STILL MISSING made my stomach turn. The Facebook posts in this video are just a blip of the stuff I saw. So many people saying she was suspect number one while she was missing--and then even after the girl had been found and was safe there were STILL people analyzing her body language, her facial expressions, her speech patterns. . .it was disgusting. Shock and grief effects everyone differently and it's awful to think it's okay to read someone's body language, which can just not match up at all (for example, some Autistic folks like myself just go completely blank when under pressure and it makes us look cold and unfeeling when really we're trying to prevent a meltdown of emotion), and assume the girl was in on it. And double down further that you think she's lying when the police have cleared her because you "know better" than trained police officers. Give me a break.
The internet brings out all the ppl who think they're experts on solving crimes. Yeah the body language reading is ridiculous.
They're all pseudo-intellects. Full of ego and little sense.

Not getting help and why parents aren't up there kids arse ,my son is grown and I AM STILL UP HIS ARSE,
@@elaynewrightberman2336 I don't understand why you brought the "government" into this... they didn't do anything wrong in this case.
I hope she has a really strong support network around her 🙏
I don't live far from Barron and this case gripped all of us for the entirety. Her picture was everywhere and burned in our brains. I can recognize it from the tiniest of thumbnails. NOTHING violent happens around here and this family seemed like a random target right from the beginning because of their genuine, sweet nature. I still think about that sweet child at least monthly and hope so much for peace in her heart
i live about an hour south of barron. jayme is about the same age as me, and i still vividly remember receiving her amber alert in the middle of class in high school, the fear and sadness that washed over the room as our phones starting going off. some of my classmates had competed with her in sports (maybe cross country?). i still think about her and her family to this day and we were all so relieved to hear she was found and safe. rip the closs family
Although it may be quite and quaint up there, just south about 45 miles is Eau Claire. That, and places like La Crosse aren't much different than septic tanks like Detroit, near me. Sometimes they back up and make a mess.
I remember this very well myself, and I'm so thankful she's alive and can hopefully be able to deal with the mountain of trauma she has endured. I strongly feel that you don't have to serve in the military to suffer from combat induced PTSD. That young lady was literally at war with the devil himself. I personally couldn't be more inspired by her strength and bravery!
I'm in Prescott, WI, and I remember this case so well. RIP Denise and James. Hugs and love to Jayme ❤
The fact that he wanted to have a future with her, and casually playing board games... she is powerful and i hope she knows it. RIP to the Closses
the wait for the police to arrive was absolutely tense. no one knew if the police was coming first or if the kidnapper was going to track her down guns blazing. i hope jamie recovers well and lives her best life, and thank you to the kind hearted individuals who protected her while they waited for the authorities.
I mean I kind of knew he wasn't going to find them at some neighbors house like how would he even know? Maybe during the escape on the street yeah that must be terrifying but once inside she was safe especially with a man holding a shotgun at the door. Still 30 minutes for responder? Why do they always take so long? We need dispatcher there like in 5 min. I'll be so anxious waiting that long.
@@samle9131they were going as fast as they could considering the icy conditions of the roads.
Idk why hearing that the neighbor loaded his gun to guard the door made me feel emotional. Just awesome to know there are people out there the are the exact opposite of the piece of shit murderer
@@JaceB-tf3vfMe too! I pictured him thinking “No one is going to hurt you again honey” and taking up his position by the door to keep that promise.
You'd think the police would have studded tires
This case is absolutely terrifying because the man did this for no real reason at all these people did nothing to provoke this
That is the definition of a victim. We have the technology and tools to protect ourselves better but yet we are at still risk of becoming victims. I isn't fair. ❤
@@babble2leeza It*
@@samle9131I doesn't fairness
@@babble2leezayeah yeah, set yourself up in as much ideas of your comfort cause you set up protective barometers to surround yourself with. Predators seek to always find the holes and the element of surprise to catch you off guard. He bursts his ass in the front door with such vigor with that shotgun. They had no chance. How many cases you want me to give examples of how predators will wait you out until they prounce would you like?
@@babble2leezaand it will continue til the end of days no matter how advanced the technology
Idk why I almost teared up when the narrator said “-and she reunited with her dog”
She got her only piece of normalcy back.
This ia hands down the best true crime channel out there. The amount of time put into every video you guys do shows. Its scary though knowing there is so many sick people out there and that 80% of these videos I havent even heard about. Props to the narrator! I could listen to him talk all day. As for Jaymie is such a brave and strong girl. Unbelievable that she survived through all this.
totally agree on the quality of the narrator - i keep looking for more vids of theirs just to hear this guy tell the stories - found that a lot of their earlier vids arent done by him tho
❤
The woman whom Jayme found was a social worker, so that was fortunate. Here’s a quote about it: “I went to her and she just sort of grabbed onto me and she told me who she was. I’ve been a social worker my whole life. I was in child protection, so I believe my CPS personality just turned on.”
I believe Jayme found the lady
@@kimwalsh fixed that
AW you didn't have too. I wasn't picking on you, I actually went back to see who got it right and it appears that we both were right. Lady was out with dog and Jayme was on the street too - so I guess they found each other. Have a good one TRex @@TRex-fu7bt
I hope the young girl can move on after this. I was fostered out at her age after my last remaining parent died and it was a horrible, cold and confusing time. I'm in my sixties now and it still haunts me. It's good she's with loving grandparents.
Jeanne Nutter is my grandmother:s sister in law. She is ex social worker and while her background helped her know what to do and stay calm in the situation, she knows she was just in the right place at the right time. she commends Jayme for her bravery to rescue herself from such a terrifying situation.
❤ she’s an absolute angel regardless of Jayme rescuing herself, Jeanne ensured her safety after that and will forever be a hero ❤
Just a tip from a carpenter: make sure you have 3 inch screws in your door jam into the stud to prevent the door from being kicked in. This also applies to the catch on the door if you have a solid wood door. Not all locks are equal so make sure you pick quality over price!
This is one of the most horrific things I’ve ever heard I’m so glad she’s ok
To think people thought on Social media this little girl could kill her parents, the ones that loved and cared for her and she loved them very much is disgusting, then claimed she was guilty of doing such a gruesome crime without any evidence pointing to that being the case. Police had already dismissed that theory. 88 days frightened after witnessing her parents being murdered by this nut case and finally working up the courage to escape.
You should never pass judgement on something without truly knowing the facts 1st hand. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Poor girl.
So glad for her to hear, that she is thriving and staying with her grandparents but still not something anyone as a child would want to experience or be exposed to...ever.
I've just seen this.
To think that people on social media believe its impossible for a kid to kill their parents...
Stranger things have happened
Jeanne is my great aunt. She was walking her dog Henry when jayme approached her. Jeanne was a social worker for a long time, so she was the perfect person for Jayme to approach
She really was in the right place at the right time! What a blessing!
Jayme I hope that you wherever you are you’re still able to move past what this monster did to you and your parents. You deserve at this he very least happiness for the rest of your days after the strength you have shown
i’m so happy she was reunited with her pup… the single surviving, loving member of her family home. after all she witnessed, she immediately said she wanted to go home, even knowing for a fact her parents were gone. she’s a very tough, brave girl…
The police also tried to take all the credit of finding her. When she rescued herself. The community had to push on them to give Jayme the reward money when they didn't want to at first.
Really good how the dog was reunited with a owner leaves a good ending
It’s a miracle Jayme is even alive. I cannot even begin to imagine the amount of terror during the home invasion.
I truly hope she got all the help she needed afterwards and the perpetrator suffers on the highest possible level.
I live 15 min away from where this happened and my niece was in her grade and were friends, they just graduated this last school year. I was obviously at the graduation for my niece and got to watch Jayme walk across that stage and receive her diploma, needless to say, I bawled my eyes out!
Eye roll
@@terrytownsend5583you’re pretty lame and weird, Terry. Get help.
Awe, I'm glad she's moving on in life and not letting this keep her from living, as tragic as it is.. her ultimate revenge is to heal and live to the fullest 😢

Videos like this one are what I am going to try to remember when looking downrange defending my familys home after society completely collapses. People suck, Thanks for sharing
that 911 call is absolutely heart wrenching and terrifying
I cry for things like this. The empathy I have for these kids that experience horrible shit is beyond words. They don't deserve this shit, no kid does. I hope wherever Jayme is, she can heal and know that people love her
I grew up less than 5 miles from the scene where she lived. This was a shock to our small community. Last I heard Jamie is doing well but I don't know her personally. But thank you for sharing the story
I remember when this happened. My heart just hurt so much for her losses. I’m so thankful she was able to escape.
I agree with the comments regarding the bravery and caring of the neighbors who helped Jaimie stay safe until law enforcement arrived. I wasn’t completely surprised though, coming from a similar small town In Michigan. That is exactly what complete strangers do for each other regardless of the risk of their own lives in these areas. I applaud them and pray for jaymies well being.
The 3 that protected her without a moments hesitation, you are the heroes this world needs!
Jayme was able to be safe for the first time in months, thanks to your nurturing natures.
I hope... really, really hope that Jayme is able to live a life that is fit for a warrior. She is a monumental warrior. Her parents would be so proud how she got out. I'm sorry as heck for her loss, I can't even imagine.
I just want to take the time to thank everyone at EWU for the consistent amazing content! Im a long time follower and you guys are my number one crime channel! Keep up the great work everyone!
I would also like to thank ewu too. The cases they cover are so good 👍It's unfortunate that there has to be victims involved for me to enjoy crime documentary.
Yep. That was a story well told!
Best on da tube
Thank you for not saying “Can we all just take a moment to… _blah blah blah…”_
Facts… they are the best by far and they literally deserve a big time deal and to get paid by Netflix or HBO but then again i want them to be there own boss and keep running stuff like they r and not be controlled by the main stream but ever since i found them i have been addicted and no other channel comes close
I remember this case, staff and teachers at my school were on edge hearing of this case. We had all hoped for a good out come, that Jayme would be found and be returned to her family. I remember coming home every single day after school and just looking up any update there was. Then came the update everyone hoped for. The day that Jayme was found alive! I just remember crying out of joy knowing that she's alive and was able to go back to the rest of her family and her dog.
1:10 all seriousness aside, the “knock like you got a pair” made me chuckle lol
lol yeah, he did knock softly for a cop, they usually do the cop-knock that would wake the dead
Yeah he didn't do the notorious cop knock where they nearly knock a door of its hinges 😂😂
Jayme is a true hero, she survived an unimaginable situation, my heart goes out to her for the horrible loss of her parents. I'm glad to hear this creep will never step back into society
This case was huge pretty much across the whole Midwest when it was still a mystery where she was. It was the most relieving thing when she was said to be alive and safe. It’s so horrible and twisted what that man did to her and her parents.
I can’t imagine the pain she lives with everyday. I hope she continues to be strong and has a long, wonderful life ahead of her ❤️
That bit at the end about her being reunited with her dog. It's a small thing in a way...but I know that is a huge comfort for her.
Jayme displayed so much strength and courage throughout such a hellacious situation on top of witnessing her parents being murdered prior to her kidnapping. The fact that she was able to escape and find a good samaritan to assist her is an incredible act of bravery. I hope that she is doing well and is continuing to heal from the immense loss and trauma that she had to endure. 💞
Being kidnapped is already hell on it's own. But having your family murdered and being kidnaped is trauma and hell time 10M. What an absolute hell.
I remember this case like it happened yesterday. I think everyone in Wisconsin was cheering when it was announced on the news that she had escaped her kidnapper and saved herself. We were all shocked to find out she was still alive. It was such a joyous day, especially for her remaining relatives.
I'm from nearby and she was found during a varsity basketball game. They stopped everything and announced it over the loudspeakers. Then in the following weeks we would force teachers to play press conferences during class. Our math teacher had gone to school with her mom.
The photo of Jayme and her dad at the end really hit me, reminded me of me and my daughter. This is a lesson for parents in this world -- locking doors might not always be enough.
No one said how he got into their house. Did he break in or was the door unlocked? The 911 operator told the neighbors who found her to lock the door. Maybe it was the custom there to not lock doors, and the killer just walked in. I was amazed that anyone had to be told to lock doors in 2018.
@@Ceerads They showed a picture of the door multiple times, and you can see that the deadbolt was out, meaning that it was locked.
Security is needed in this world. And protection. Awareness and intelligence survallience tactics tactical training and guns
Protect you children
the video states that the door was kicked in. There is a picture of the door all bashed in and their were several heavy locks on the door, which i assume they used.
I can’t imagine what Jake’s father must think. That your son abducted a girl, and you spent time in the house for months without noticing.
I remember in 8th grade, when Jayme Closs first went missing, I remember seeing her picture all over the internet and I remember when she was found, I will never forget how I felt during that time, it was the first time in my life that I realized that stuff like this could happen to someone that was my age.
This brought tears to my eyes. I can’t even imagine what Jayme witnessed. I hope she has the most comfort in the world from her loved ones. I’m so tired of sick depraved men taking from women and I’m so sorry Jayme had to endure this heartbreaking trauma at the hands of such a sick man. She’s such a strong and brave girl to have escaped.
You peeling onions
OH BOOHOO! women are killers too, STFU KAREN!
im sick and tired of women killers!
So youre not sick of depraved women doing the same thing to men? So annoying how you weirdos cant resist always having to turn things that everyone should be agreeing on into a race/gender argument.
I have wondered how Jaime is doing now. She is one smart strong and brave girl. The fact she left that despicable creeps house as soon as she could. I think if she had tried to escape before she had lulled him into a sense of false security that she was happy to be there and wouldn’t leave. That was enough to not lock her up and away. And shortly after he left she grabbed what she could to be warm enough outside in the Midwest winter. I’m so proud she found someone to help her on her journey outside of that house. I don’t remember why the dog walker didn’t bring her to her house. I’m just happy that the first house that they came to got her inside and helped her. And even after the creep was arrested. I’m glad he realized he didn’t have a chance of getting away with it and he just pled guilty. So Jaime wouldn’t have to go through explaining everything that she knew. At least he was considerate of not making her testify. I hope he is scared to death daily in his prison cell. And I hope he is forced to think about the fact he will never see her again.
I was obsessed with this case and there is information not put in this
1
90 percent of the time because he was up on on her never letting her alone he was unemployed he was at home it was only very little amount of time that she was under the bed he was there constantly
2
They shared the same bed very weird
3
He didn’t exactly say he did it right away like they said but it did confess very soon after he was arrested
4
When police came to get Jayme once she found out they arrested patterson they officers said she smiled a lot
5
When she was found and at the neighbors house she was said to be in a very dazed extremely exhausted shaking not reacting shock type of state hair extremely matted
Very skinny just very flat state emotions
6
The FBI was investigating involved with this case from day one it was extremely throughly investigated from the start
7
She was given a ton of physical test done and the hospital and a mental evaluation and wasn’t reunited with her aunt/her moms older sister until late the next afternoon to legally adopt her . She gave her aunt a massive hug when she saw her aunt.
8
All her family members have said they can totally see the trauma and damage. She is different after she got back
9
Her aunt made her get into trauma therapy soon after they got her home
10
He confessed in prison had a goal of killing multiple family’s and stealing their very young preteen/early teen daughters and torturing them play mind games with them he said he wanted to see the world burn.
11
He made her play games with him all the time and forced her to act like a wife and cook all homemade food for him
12
I know from following the case in real time that they dropped the charges in the county he held Jayme in. He did sexual assault/r@pe her. But her aunt who adopted her and her aunts and uncles from both sides decided to not take those charges to trial so as to not traumatize her and make those details public. They made sure to put as little information as to what happened to her in the public records. He’s a registered sex offender
13
Her cousin who is a woman is a police officer and they saw her picture with in the house recognized her as a colleague called her then that was how they found out she lived there.
14
Her police cousin is the daughter of the older sister of Jayme mom who adopted her.
15
Jayme has said that she would reveal what happened to her and do an interview but it would be in several years so she can be healed enough emotionally to do so
16
Jayme is 18 years old this year and at college
17
Her family is extremely protective of her and came together won’t do interviews until Jayme is emotionally ready and only after she does hers
18
Barron has only had 3 murders in Almost 40 years.
19
They tore down jayme home she wanted it torn down so she wouldn’t be traumatized by seeing it
20
Her aunt who adopted her had a daycare service she also lives in Barron she looked after Jayme everyday of the week sometimes Saturdays while her parents worked for 12 years straight she was basically a second mom to Jayme.,
@@vntajones
How do you know all this information? And what did you mean about her cousin? She was a officer and they saw her picture and that was how they knew it was her house? What???? How’s picture and who’s house? And what did it have to do with her cousin the cop? Sorry I understood most of that. But that spot got me confused.
21:45 even if he had no intentions of shooting anyone, the fact that man loaded a shotgun and stood guard at the door to make this girl feel safer is really really cool. he sounds like a good person.
Not only that, but the deputies then told him to stay in position while they continued to formulate a plan.
Very atypical, normally they would remove the loaded firearm from the situation.
He'd be a great dad.
I know so many girls that complain that they are constantly accosted by weird men from the age of 12. Jamie is just another example of why they feel the way they do. The way Some men men act around women is atrocious.
Kyle heard about the crime and got excited. That boy went over there to sniff some panties and got caught in the act. He wasn't there to solve the crime and find the girl. Mental illness can be weird as heck without proper treatment.
Another case of delusioned and entitled man.
I'm 25 and still getting cat called on a near-daily basis. I live in a pretty popular neighborhood. It's terrifying to be on guard every time I step outside to walk to the pharmacy or to the market. I cannot possibly imagine how terrifying it was for Jayme.
I’m twice your age and still get weird men trying to talk to me and ask me to go places. I’ve been followed in stores, and just walking around.
I always have pepper spray in my hand, and am constantly on high alert.
It’s not only scary, but exhausting.
I’d love to feel safe on a walk alone, especially at night.
It’s horrible always feeling like this.
@@acovenofmany333 why? Its not safe for men to walk alone at night either, if not more dangerous. You should never feel comfortable walking alone at night, be aware of your surroundings or try to avoid that situation at all costs, there's too many crazy people out there.
Not To mention all the boys that have to experience this from women. Women are almost never persecuted for their actions.
Jayme if you’re reading this I pray you’re well. You’re so awe inspiring. You’re the epitome of bravery. May God bless you, and keep you safe❣️
Police are brave AF walking into a scene like that not knowing if the killer is still there. Not to mention what they have to see while doing it.
Thank you, EWU your soothing voice is comforting watching these vile horrific crimes. James & Denise Closs rest in peace, Jayme I wish you healing.
This is the gold standard of a true crime documentary.
The full story, all the players and their parts, no dramatisation or imagining what people are thinking, no distracting music, no sound effects or gratuitous use of slide transitions or it's evil cousin the bright flash of white in the middle of a dark scenes, fantastically clear narration, and finally, a conclusion.
I thank each and every one of you at EWU.
So happy to know jayme and her dog were reunited ! thank you for this final note !
The near immediate sense of urgency in the initial officers' voices and words tells you the severity of the situation before the story even began to unfold. You get that sense, even without hearing the prior 911 call. Some audio clips tell the story with a somewhat steady sense of progression, but hearing the one officer say "Get a long gun. QUICK" takes it from 1 to 100.
Thanks!
This is the best channel for "True Crime". They do a great job producing these documentaries. 5 ⭐
I will never know how officers are able to stomach the site of a dead body. I know i wouldn’t be able to handle the site of someone who was dead if i was an officer.
I could handle seeing it, the smell, not so much
Ain't no different than a living person. We're all the same. Ya get used to it. Those who don't, get used to the bottle and the comfort of the coldness of their gun.
@@natasha675 I can agree I wouldn’t be able to handle the smell either
That’s why more people need to join and serve your community for a while so the trauma does not kill our people.
I don’t know about this situation and country, but with some traumatic situation they’re going to a room after they’re done. There they can talk with each other and/or with a professionals (if needed). This is for medics, firefighters and police. I’ve seen this on tv, where a paramedic said this and showed the room. I don’t if it’s special room or a break room or whatever. Dispatchers can also take a break after a heavy situation (I can imagine after hearing the lady scream, you’ll need a break).
This is so terrible what happened to this girl. I'm really relieved that this monster didn't abused her, because all the trauma she has already suffered is bad enough
ive heard a million 911 calls and this one always rings in my nightmares, you can hear the fear in her mothers voice trying to protect her baby.. and i cant imagine that poor girl going through that then keeping her cool for 88 days..
I am glad she got to be reuined with her dog. Pets are family and she likely feels like she at least gets to be with one family member from her home as she remembers it.
Like so many of you out there that watched, prayed, followed this when it happened, it still rips my heart to pieces. I often think of Jayme and pray for her. I can’t imagine all of the horror she experienced. God bless her and keep her always.
As crazy as this story was, what in the hell was Kyle upto... not only was he on some sicko shit, he wasted cops time investing him as a suspect. Someone needs to put that guy on a registry.
Exactly that dude is sick and creepy.
He stole her underwear. Then made up some BS excuse about a homeless shelter, then that he'd getting gender-changing surgery. He didn't want to admit he was a sick pervert. At least he didn't kidnap her, but the cops need to keep an eye on this guy.
Because you cant just go around putting people on registries for no crime, We live in the United States..Not 1947 Germany🤷♂️🤷♂️
