ASSOCIATED PRESS Jake Thomas Patterson, 21, has been charged with kidnapping 13-year-old Jayme Closs and killing her parents, James and Denise Closs. Authorities believe Patterson went to the Closs home intending to kidnap Jayme. But they haven’t been able to find any connection between him and the Closs family. It appears he has been living in the family cabin; property records indicate his father still owned the place in October. Fitzgerald hasn’t said whether Jayme was sexually assaulted but said Saturday that investigators believe Jake Patterson acted alone.
