A 13-year-old girl who disappeared the same night her parents were shot to death in their rural Wisconsin home nearly three months ago was found alive on Thursday night, the authorities said. Details are scarce, but the girl, Jayme Closs, was discovered early in the evening by officers from Douglas County, north of her hometown, Barron, Wis., according to a Facebook post from the Barron County Sheriff’s Department. The family was notified at about 7:30 p.m.“We’re very happy that she is alive,” her uncle Jeff Closs wrote in a text message to a reporter. “We don’t know much else.” Jayme was in a hospital and being evaluated, he said. The local police force of 78 swelled to a corps of 200 federal, state and local officers in a hunt that went on day and night.
