Jayme Closs escaped a remote house on Thursday, fleeing on foot to be found by a woman who was walking her dog. The 13-year-old was taken into police custody after the woman stopped at a nearby home to call police. Police said Patterson planned his actions and took steps to keep himself from being seen. He said Patterson did have a tie to Jayme’s home town, Barron, but would not elaborate on the connection. Tolomeo said the case had been difficult because of the steps the suspect took to evade law enforcement, but the teenager had overcome those obstacles to stage her own escape.
