JUST IN: Jake Thomas Patterson pleads guilty to Jayme Closs kidnapping, murder of parents
Jake Thomas Patterson, the man accused of kidnapping Jayme Closs and murdering her parents, pleaded guilty today.
On Wednesday, Patterson appeared in the courtroom in an orange jumpsuit and began to cry as he answered"guilty" to the judge's question. He agreed that the criminal complaint was"substantially true" with regard to the crimes he pleaded guilty to. At the time of her kidnapping, Patterson didn’t know Jayme’s name and decided she was the girl he was going to take when he saw her getting on the school bus, according to the complaint. On his third trip to the Closs family home, he fatally shot James, who came to the door to investigate and thought Patterson was possibly a law enforcement officer.
