Prosecutors in Wisconsin revealed details of the kidnapping of 13-year-old Jamie Kloss, which last week managed to escape from the kidnapper. We will remind, the girl was looking across the country for almost 3 months.
The detainee, 21-year-old Jake Patterson, had carefully prepared for the crime. He was not familiar with Jamie, didn’t even know her name. As he told the prisoner, in 2018, returning from work, he saw a girl at the bus stop in the town of Barron and realized that he «needed» and that he would kidnap her.

The very next day, Patterson bought at Walmart a black mask Balaclava. He several times passed the house of Klassov, but did not dare to attack, because the house was parked a few cars. With one of the machines the young man removed the license plate to install it on my Ford.
Finally, on 15 October, he took his father’s shotgun and went to Kassam. According to him, in the dark, the girl’s father, apparently thinking that it is a police officer with a weapon, asked to show the icon, but got shot in the head.
Hearing the shot, Denise Kloss hid with her daughter in the bathroom, where they found Patterson. He pulled Jamie from his mother and shot a woman, and the girl tied and took it with him.
Three months she spent in the house of the thief in Gordon, about 65 miles North of Barron.
According to Jamie, Patterson kept her under the bed, sometimes for half a day leaving no food, water and opportunities to go to the toilet. At this time the house came the guests. Subjected to whether the girl is sexually abused, the police are not misleading.
January 10, when Patterson left for 5-6 hours, Jamie managed to escape. She rushed to passers-by, walking his dog: «I’m Jamie Kloss, help me. He killed my parents. Please, I want to go home».
For the defendant’s bail be set at $5 million
At the first hearing was attended by brother and father Patterson. When the father of the defendant said, «You knew?», he just shook his low bowed head: «No.»
