BARRON, Wis. - Family members of 13-year-old Jayme Closs said the Wisconsin man who murdered her parents and kidnapped her was a “monster” who stole her “normal life,” in testimony ahead of his sentencing on Friday.
“Because of this monster, Jayme won’t have her mom and dad at her dance recitals,” Mike Closs, Jayme’s uncle, said in Barron County court. “She won’t have my brother to walk her down the aisle on her wedding day.” Patterson, with close-cropped hair and dressed in an orange prison uniform, sat with his head down. But he shook his head when Barron County District Attorney Brian Wright said he remained a threat to Jayme.
Dressed in black with a face mask, Patterson shot Closs’ father through the front door with a shotgun, according to the criminal complaint.
