Today in this article we will talk about Jayme Closs. Jayme Closs’s story is quite sad. Jayme Closs’s perseverance not only saved her life from the kidnapper but also inspired her entire community to come together.
This is the story of the time when Jayme Closs was 13 years old and one day she was completing her normal routine in her class. This day was in October 2018. That day when Jayme Closs boarded the school bus. Jayme Closs used to go to school every day by this private bus.
Behind the bus that Jayme Closs had boarded was Jake Patterson, age 21. He was going to his job like every day. That day Jake was thinking of kidnapping a child to fulfill his financial needs. When Jake saw Jayme Closs, he realized that he had found his prey.
Jake chose the day of 15 October 2018 to carry out his work and completed his entire planning. Late that night Jake reached Jayme Closs’s house. At that time Jayme Closs’s whole family was sleeping. Jayme Closs woke up to the sound of her dog barking and she heard the sound of a car coming from the driveway. After killing Jayme Closs’s parents, Jake abducted Jayme. Jake took Jayme Closs to his home in rural Douglas after this.
After this occurrence, Jake concealed Jayme Claus in his house for three months.
During these three months, Jake forced Jayme Claus to hide under his bed. He had put heavy boxes around Jake’s bed. Due to which it became very difficult for Jayme Claus to get out of there. Despite such difficult circumstances, Jayme Claus controlled herself and kept looking for an opportunity to escape every day. Jayme Claus got this opportunity on 10 January 2019. When Jake left his house for work that day, Jayme Claus saw a woman walking her dog out the window. Jayme Claus called that woman for help and that woman came to help him and that woman also helped him. With the help of that woman, Jayme Closs escaped from Jake’s clutches that day.
After her kidnapping, Jayme Closs started living with her uncle. After some time, Jayme Closs also started going back to her school. Jayme Closs’s lawyer says that he read Jayme Closs’ statement in which Jayme Closs says that she is very grateful to all those people who showed their kindness towards her and cared a lot for her. Jayme Closs is very determined to move forward in her life despite such a huge loss in her life.
In New Mexico, he is presently completing his sentence. Barron County gives the credit of the success of this case to Jayme Claus because even in such difficult circumstances, Jayme Claus did not lose her courage and faced Jake firmly and got him punished by running away from his trap. After this, many companies came forward to help Jayme Claus. Hormel Foods gave Jayme Claus a reward of 25000 dollars. This was the same company where Jayme Claus’s parents used to work. At present, Jayme Claus is 21 years old and is living her life happily with her uncle. At the moment, Jayme Claus is focused on completing her undergraduate studies.
