Wisconsin's Department of Justice released thousands of documents from the Jayme Closs case that gripped the nation.
began in the middle of the night, the sounds of screams heard on a desperate 911 call to authorities in Wisconsin.
The records reveal a startling tale in the search for Jayme, including close calls, missed opportunities and bum leads. Dozens of investigators pursued things such as overheard conversations in bars, interviews with family members and co-workers, and an exhaustive effort to find surveillance footage at gas stations from Janesville to Superior.
Patterson didn't know the Closs family, nor did he have a prior criminal record in Wisconsin. But in the early hours of Oct. 15, he used his father's shotgun to fatally shoot James, 56, through a glass pane on the front door of their home and murdered Denise, 46, in front of Jayme. He then dragged Jayme to his car and drove her to his rural Gordon home, where he held her for 88 days.
Jayme escaped Jan. 10 and found a social worker out walking her dog, who took Jayme to another neighbor's house to call 911. Police arrested Patterson a short time later. He said Jayme was scared when they arrived in Gordon and wouldn't eat or drink until after about a week had passed. Throughout her captivity, Patterson said the two watched TV, played board games together and even played badminton outside before the weather grew cold. He also offered her vodka and marijuana, he said, but she declined.
