Content note: discussion of murder and kidnapping, mention of sexual violence (no details), general dudely creepitude Welcome to the Spooky Sconnie podcast, the show that talks about the spooky, paranormal, criminal, and just plain odd Badger State. While we're known for sportsball and food, there's a lot more to learn about Wisconsin if you know where to look. In this first minisode on the subject, I discuss the Jayme Closs case. Three months after her parents double murder and her kidnapping, Jayme was recently found. Details are still coming out about her captivity and, yesterday, her captor - Jake Thomas Patterson - was officially charged. Further reading Link to Wisconsin's current missing children cases Jayme's GoFundMe Jayme's FB update Complaint: Kidnapper saw Jayme Closs get on school bus; 'he knew that was the girl he was going to take'   Transcript Welcome to the first minisode of the Spooky Sconnie Podcast, the podcast that talks about all things creepy, weird, spooky, and more in the state of Wisconsin. One of the things that I think it's very interesting about true crime is when you get the opportunity to cover a case as it unfolds when you are a podcaster or a writer or what have you, and I wanted to take time today to talk about a fairly well known kidnapping. The recently occurred here in Wisconsin and is actually reaching the trial stage and I'll talk about all the details and get you all caught up if you haven't heard about what's going on, um, since this case is going to start going to trial potentially in February. This will be, um, you know, I would imagine a longer minisode series, um,and we'll just see where it takes us. Some of the episodes might be really short, some of them may be fairly long and this one will probably be a longer one just because of, uh, getting everyone up to speed on the kidnapping of Jayme Closs and her recovery. ----more---- At the center of this case are two, uh, locations in Wisconsin. The first is Barron, Wisconsin, which is located in the northwest of the state. Um, it's a city, so there's a town of Barron and surrounding that town is the city of Barron and is located in Barron county. This happens so much in Wisconsin specifically as wild. Uh, let's be more imaginative with names. I don't know. Anyway, there's an estimated 3,300 people in the area and it's actually closer to Lake Superior, one of the Great Lakes than it is to Madison. In fact, it's roughly 220 miles or about three and a half hours away by car from Madison versus being about an hour and 45 minutes in slightly different directions from both Minneapolis or Lake Superior. Gordon, Wisconsin, the other city that is really being focused on in this case, is up in Douglas County. This is, at least in my eyes, the most northwestern county in the state of Wisconsin. In 2000, there were only 645 people living there permanently and that really hasn't changed 19 years later, which is weird. Anyway, um, as, as par for the course for Wisconsin, there are a lot of cabins where people come up and stay throughout the year, use for hunting, use for snow sports, use to be close to the lake because it is only about 35 miles south of Lake Superior. And to give you another idea of how remote and how full of kind of snow sport type people this is, um, there are signs that remind motorists to share the pavement with ATVs, be mindful of snowmobiles, etc. So it's really kind of up there. Um, and, and a very active Space. The two cities are about an hour's drive apart on US-53. And um, as I said, they've both been at the center of a kidnapping that made national attention. Now, um, it did start earlier than this date, but this is the main starting date is October 15th. James Closs who's 56 and his wife Denise, 46, were at home with their daughter Jayme, who is 13. Jayme was asleep and James and Denise were likely asleep or getting close to it as this was, you know, just after midnight on technically the 15th. The silence of the night in their sleepy area at such a late time - or early time in the morning, depending on how you look at it - was not going to last much longer. A 911 call early monday morning featured people screaming and yelling for help in the background, but there was no response to the dispatchers' requests. The dispatchers called trying the phone back several times without success and they got the voicemail on Denise's cell phone and tried to call the landline listed for them, but it was disconnected. All 911 calls are supposed to be investigated, especially when there's no direct response response and there's screams for help. So they sent, um, some squad cars out, sirens blazing after arriving at the Closs home around 1:00 AM. Authorities reported one male down and multiple rounds spent before discovering Denise's body likely near the bathroom. By 3:57 am, Jayme Closs was entered as a missing juvenile. The FBI immediately got involved with the case. Law enforcement agencies all over the country were told to look out for a five foot, 100 pound teenage girl with green eyes and strawberry blonde hair. Many tips were called in including one the next day from Miami, Florida that didn't go anywhere. The next two weeks were spent conducting searches of the area near the Closs home as they didn't think that she would have been taken very far after her disappearance. Police collected more than 3,500 tips, but no hard leads emerged. On October 30th, James and Denise Closs' joint funeral was held at St Peter's Catholic Church in Cameron, which is just a few minutes from their home. It's. I'm just down the road from Barron. Unfortunately earlier that same day, a Wisconsin man was arrested for allegedly burglarizing their home. Kyle Jaenke-Annis - that's a Wisconsin name - 32, was spotted Saturday just before 2:30 AM on motion-activated surveillance cameras set up around the property and entering the home through the patio door. He admitted to taking items from the home and a search found that among things he stuffed in his coat pocket were two tank tops, a girl's dress, and two pairs of Jayme's underwear. He told deputies that he just took the items because he was "curious about the size Jayme was" and he figured no one was going to miss these things. He also said he didn't know the family. He did work at the same Jennie-O Turkey plant that James and Denise worked at. Um, he was charged with burglary but cleared of any involvement in the murder and kidnapping. I think it's safe to say he's a fucking creeper though. Who takes and steals girl's underwear? Like, just think about it. most. Uh, well many I would say serial killers, kidnappers, uh, started with peeping tom stuff and breaking in and stealing underwear. So I hope they keep a close eye on that motherfucker. If you've been following the case, you'll know that the next big break came in just last week on January 10th, a 21 year old Jake Thomas Patterson confessed to killing James and Denise Closs shortly after detectives began interviewing him on the 10th. He told them he targeted Jayme randomly after seeing her one day get on a school bus. He told investigators that he was working at a nearby cheese factory, which he worked there for two days before quitting. On his drive to the cheese factory one of the two mornings he worked there, he stopped behind a school bus on highway eight and watched Jayme get on the bus. He told investigators he had no idea who she was or who lived at the house. But when he saw her, he knew she was the girl he was going to take. He meticulously planned the abduction. He went to the home twice before actually committing the kidnapping. Um, you know, he was ready to do it, but said that he was unable to kidnap her because there were too many people around. He took steps to steal license plates from another vehicle to put on his to avoid being detected. He also removed, um, inside trunks that are relatively modern. There's an anti kidnapping release cord and um, he, he went to the steps to remove that so that once he put Jayme and the trunk, as we'll find out later on, she couldn't get herself out. On the night of the killings and the abduction, Patterson says he took his father's 12 gauge Mossberg pump shotgun. His research had showed the shotgun was really common and would probably be difficult to trace. He also shaved his face and his head so he wouldn't leave hair behind. He said that he was determined he was going to take Jayme that night and was going to kill anyone in the house because he could not leave any eyewitnesses behind. He was also prepared for a shootout with the police if he had been stopped. I'm not sure if that just means mentally prepared or if he maybe had more arms on him that would be better for, I don't know, a shoot out. I've been playing a lot of Red Dead Redemption and shotguns are okay, but I feel like pistols are better for a shootout. I don't know. I don't know what I'm saying. this. I'm just nervous and this case makes me anxious. Anyway, Jayme told police that she was asleep in her room when the family dog started barking. She looked and saw there was a car in the driveway and woke up her parents. Her father, James went to the door and saw Patterson there with a gun. Jayme says she and her mother hid in the bathroom, holding one another in the bath tub with a shower curtain pulled shut. They heard a gunshot while they were hiding and knew that James had been killed. Denise starts to call 911 as Patteron breaks down the bathroom door. He was dressed in black wearing a face mask and gloves and carrying the shotgun. He told Denise to hang up the phone and ordered her to tape Jayme's mouth shut. He told detectives that Denise struggled with the tape, so he wrapped the tape himself around Jayme's mouth and then taped her hands behind her back and her ankles together before pulling her out of the bathtub. He then shot Denise in the head right in front of her. He dragged Jayme outside, nearly slipping in blood, pooled on the floor from murdering James. He threw Jayme in the trunk and drove off, pausing to yield to the three squad cars speeding towards the house with flashing lights. The entire attack took about four minutes. Patterson then took Jayme to a cabin,he said was his. He told police he ordered a weeping Jayme to strip and then dressed in his sister's pajamas saying he had to get rid of the evidence. Uh, he took her clothes and threw it in the fireplace in the basement of this cabin. He kept her in a space under his bed. To make her stay there, he would barricade it with plastic totes and laundry bins filled with barbell weights and she was stuck under there for up to 12 hours a day. I can't imagine being out of there would be much better at this point. Um, he believes that she tried to escape at least twice. One of those times was making banging noises so loud that it alerted some of the other people in the household before he made some excuse about it. He threatened her, uh, and scared her. He says into not escaping. We'll see how well that worked out for him. When his father visited, Patterson would turn up the radio in the bedroom to cover any noise that she might make. Jayme told investigators that she was able to escape on January 10th when Patterson told her he would be leaving for five or six hours. After he left, she was able to push the bins and weights away from the bed and crawl out. She then put on a pair of his shoes, walked out of the house and ran into a woman who helped rescue her. Um, Jeanne Nutter is a social worker and she was out walking her dog when Jayme approached her. She immediately took Jayme to a nearby home, making sure it was not the Patterson home and phoned police. They actually approached, um, a neighbor - teacher Kristin Kasinskas who had been just arriving home from work and absolutely knew it was Jayme right away, brought them into the house. Um, she and Jean got her - Jayme - calm and, um, phoned the police say, you know, 'we've got Jayme, she's here. You have to come. She's safe.' She was positively found then in the town of Gordon at 4:43 PM. Within a span of less than 20 minutes, police converged on the Patterson cabin where they came upon Patterson in his car who was out looking for Jayme. Police say Patterson got out of the car and said, 'yeah, I did it.' Patterson told detectIves he thought he'd gotten away with the killings because he hadn't been caught in the first two weeks. He also said he would never have been caught if he had planned everything perfectly, which also just feels like a scooby doo episode. "I would have gotten away with it if it weren't for that damn kid I kidnapped!" A shotgun consistent with the type of gun used to kill Jayme's parents was recovered. They haven't officially run it through the state crime lab system yet, but you know, when the ballistics come back and it checks out they'll be able to definitively say it was the same weapon. Patterson was actually officially charged Monday - yesterday - with two counts of first degree intentional homicide in the deaths of James and Denise Closs. He also faces one charge of kidnapping and one charge of burglary with a dangerous weapon. Each first degree intentional homicide charge carries a life sentence with it. The kidnapping charge carries 40 years in prison and armed burglary is 15 years. His bail was set at $5,000,000 and he will appear in court again for his preliminary hearing on February 6th at 11:00 AM. His defense attorneys, um, state Assistant Public Defenders Charles Glynn and Richard Jones said they believe he can get a fair trial, but they're not sure where they might have to seek a change of venue, which is something I was thinking about the other day. With how publicized this has been, it may be quite difficult for them to figure out a space to try him where they believe he can get a fair trial. My guess is they might just bring him down either to Madison or Milwaukee and try him in one of those two cities. Otherwise they may have to do something out of state and I'm not sure what the likelihood of that is. Um, especially like this was so close to Minnesota that I don't think, you know, uh, a Minneapolis court would be a good idea, but something like Chicago could potentially be a good idea. But they're so backlogged and they have negative funding all the time anyway. So I don't know what the likelihood of that is. Um, but it's something to think about. One thing that's interesting to me is Patterson has no criminal history. He was born in 1997. He graduated from Northwood high school in nearby Minong, Wisconsin in 2015. Minong actually from what I was reading, um, it's a single building that houses everything from kindergarten through high school because there's just a very small population. He was a member of the school's quiz bowl team. Uh, his parents divorced in 2007. He has an older sister and an older brother, Erik. Eric is the one person in the family that has a criminal record, which includes bail jumping, marijuana possession, and a no contest plea to a 2013 fourth degree sexual assault charge. Um, he was sentenced to a year probation served that. All of that said about Erik, they believe that Jake acted alone. Details of Jayme's captivity for the three months she was kidnapped have not been released. And the Barron county sheriff Chris Fitzgerald hasn't said whether Jayme was sexually assaulted. I think it's quite possible. Um, if you're going to kidnap a young girl and hold her for three months, I mean, where's the other drive for that? Where is the motive for that, if you're not going to engaged in sexual assault? I don't know. It's important to note though, that Patterson's attorneys have been lauded for taking high profile cases that have an emphasis on sexually violent people. So it's quite possible that those details will come out as the proceedings get underway. Jake wrote in his high school year book that he planned to join the marines after graduation. Um, military records show he only lasted about five weeks, which isn't even the full course of basic training. And he was prematurely discharged in October, 2015 at the rank of private because, again, he hadn't even finished basic training. Naturally the news is full of interviews with people saying things like he was just so quiet which like, look, also please don't extrapolate that and think all of us who are quiet in social settings are going to kidnap people or kill people. And I think he was just, it seems like, um, you know, they tried to talk to some of the teachers he had in high school and stuff. And it seems like he was really forgettable, um, which I think is more important than just quiet. The few neighbors who know Patterson's family say he grew up in a cabin in a remote development that's a mix of seasonal and year round homes about 10 miles outside Gordon proper. So that's I think that's where this cabin is that they're talking about, that Jayme was kept in. Um, as I said, his high school teachers barely remember the 21 year old man, even though he only graduated a few years ago and they didn't realize you lived in the same area still. Um, as I said, his parents had divorced. One of their neighbors told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that the parents had moved away, but that Jake and his brother Erik continued to stay at the cabin. They often got in trouble, stole things and um, may have potentially spent time in foster care. Of course, that's according to the neighbor. Um, but, um, you know, that hasn't necessarily been fully verified. He worked for one day in 2016 at the Jennie O Turkey Plant in Barron where James and Denise worked before he quit ,saying he was moving out of the area. Um, between that and only having worked at that cheese factory for two days, nobody actually knows what he's been doing to make money since then. Um, he, he told, uh, you know, the detectives that he was unemployed. So I have no idea what he doing to get money. One could speculate that he'd been going back to stealing things potentially, or that Erik had, I don't know. Um, he apparently has no online presence, like no facebook, nothing like that. The teacher who nearby, who helped rescue Jayme told the Star Tribune she didn't even realize that Patterson was her neighbor. So I think that's an interesting juxtaposition to the other neighbor who, you know, so that they got in trouble a lot. Photos of the cabin, um, were shared across you know, a couple of news sites and they show like an unfinished ceiling. There's a three car garage. Um, there was an empty box of adult female diapers in the trash. A sign over the front door reads. 'Patterson's retreat.' Ownership of the remote cabin was passed to a credit union soon after Jayme's abduction. Records actually show that Jake Patterson's father transferred the title of the cabin to Superior Choice Credit Union on October 23rd. We're not sure why. Could -There could be a number of things. Um, and I'm sure that will come out as time goes on. After being recovered, Jayme was checked into a Duluth, Minnesota hospital, so that was about an hour away from Gordon. Um, she spent the night there and was being evaluated and was taken back to her hometown of Barron on Friday after meeting with an aunt. And then, um, later that evening was reunited with other relatives, including her grandfather who has been so vocal about trying to get her back. I mean her aunts have as well, but he really has, um, and he described the moment when they saw each other and, and they both just gave each other a really big hug. And that really gives me the happy chills? Is that a thing? Um, there've been a number of, you know, other kidnapping survivors that have spoken out about her recovery, about the fact that she needs time and, you know, she'll know that things won't go back to the way it was, including Elizabeth Smart, whose case really hit me hard as a kid. Um, she was kidnapped in 2002 from her Salt Lake City home and was held captive for nine months. And her entire family is Mormon. My entire family's Mormon. I'm not, um, but that was a really big shock I think to the Mormon community - like this cute little white girl getting abducted from her home. Um, and she's written a lot publicly about how the way that we view and teach sexual health stuff to young people is awful. Um, and I will especially say like within the Mormon church growing up, there were a lot of things like, 'oh, like you don't want to have sex with someone before you're married because then you're like, uh, chewed piece of gum and no one wants to chew an already chewed piece of gum.' And for people like Elizabeth Smart who have gone through horrible sexual trauma, um, that kind of stuff is really even extra demeaning because it's not like you chose to engage in those actions. Even if you did, you're not a chewed piece of gum. You're a human being. Um, and anyway, my, my sex educator side really likes Elizabeth Smart, um, and the work that she's done to try to combat a lot of that bullshit. if you're looking for ways to support Jayme and her family. um, I've got a link in the show notes to the official GoFundMe that you can donate to. You can keep up with her journey at facebook.com/JaymeCloss. And her name is spelled slightly different. So it's facebook.com/j a y m e c l o s s. And don't worry, it's a public page. It's not like her private facebook. Um, it was initially the page to try to find her and now it's turned into kind of a, uh follow her journey as she heals and let's, you know, help her and help the family. Also, if you want to - please don't be a fucking creeper - but you could send her a note at Light the Way Home for Jayme Closs P.O. Box 539 Rice Lake, WI 54868 I'll be covering the breaking news on this case as time goes on. So expect, you know, some mini episodes every so often in between the normal ones. I do want to say, um, that this case is great and I'm glad that she's back, but she's gotten a lot of press because one, she was a pretty white girl and two, because of the circumstances of her kidnapping and disappearance. Um, there are currently over 50 missing children from Wisconsin who aren't lucky enough to be in similar situations. And, um, I really hope that you will take a minute to look at the links in the show notes because I do have a link to some of the missing children's information, their photos, and I'd really like to see more people have a happy ending like Jayme will have. Um, I mean, you know, happy is obviously relative in this case. Um, her parents are dead - she'll never get them back. She'll have to work really hard to get over that trauma of watching her mother be killed, seeing her father's dead body, whatever happened to her in the last three months, but, um, these other kids deserve to be found too and they deserve justice and they deserve peace - and so do their families. And just because they may not be white or just because the circumstances of their disappearances may be different, doesn't make it any less important to find them. So please take time to read those. In the meantime, uh, the end of this week, you'll see a new episode about the Hodag of Rhinelander and I'm hoping to actually get that recorded today as soon as I get this up. Um, and then, uh, yeah, the, the regular episodes would be every two weeks. These ones will happen every so often as there are updates and, um, eventually I'm hoping to do some kind of Wisconsin-related movie reviews, which will be fun. Um, yeah, so I hope you enjoyed listening to this episode - minisode - and, um, make sure to check out sites like the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the Wisconsin State Journal, um, and channel3000.com if you are looking for more updates about Jayme's, um, you know, abduction and recovery. And I'll also really work on sharing those things on social media. So if you're not only already following the facebook page and twitter page, you may want to do that. Um, in the meantime, have a great couple of days until I talk to you again. You just listened to the Spooky Sconnie Podcast. This podcast is produced every two weeks by me, Kirsten Schultz.

Take a minute and rate and subscribe if you can. You'll help more people see the show by rating and you won't miss a single episode if you subscribe. And that's pretty dope. You can support the show over at patron.com/spookysconniepodcast. And you can email me anything you'd like me to know at spookysconniepodcast@gmail.com. Meantime, sleep tight. Don't let the badgers bite.

Andy and David are back talking comedy and great places to eat AND DRINK while on the road performing it. This week we have a lengthy talk about COFFEE, something David lives off of and Andy treats like a fake sugary drink. We talk Coffee Shops, the infamous Starbucks and David's favorite spot near his house, Genuine Joe's in Austin, TX. Andy talks about performing in a Barn, so clearly things are on the upswing for him. Then David takes us to Minong, WI, (sounds fake, I agree), to a spot called Wendy's Place where you can get Breakfast, Dinner or Supper. (We're confused too). Then he goes to Flapjacks in Minong where child labor laws don't apply, and he tries to learn the difference between Pancakes and Flapjacks. We have some chiropractor discussion and list all of our ailments. It's fun I swear. Enjoy!

Welcome to CampNation 10.  This podcast we talk through what our camps are doing to keep in touch with parents during the summer.    It was a great discussion and it was really interesting to hear what the camps represented will be doing to remain “social” with their clients throughout a busy summer..   Thanks to Gabe Chernov from Birch Trail Camp in Minong, Wisconsin for joining us for this discussion. Gabe also runs a free social network for summer camps called SmoreCamp.   Camps may find this an interesting alternative to Facebook for maintaining that feeling of community throughout the year.
