The abduction of Jayme Closs
The abduction of Jayme Closs shocked the United States and drew national attention to the terrifying reality of targeted, premeditated crimes committed by strangers. In the early hours of October 15, 2018, Jayme’s life was violently and permanently altered when a young man she had never met arrived at her family home in Barron, Wisconsin** with the intention of taking her for himself.The offender, whose real name is Jake Patterson (sometimes incorrectly reported as Thomas Patterson), was a 21-year-old man who described himself as socially isolated and lonely. According to his own statements, he wanted a girl to keep him company and believed abducting one was the only way he could achieve this. Rather than attempting to form a relationship in a lawful or healthy way, Patterson made the deliberate and chilling decision to kidnap a child.
