BARRON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin teenager Jayme Closs said Friday she wanted to see the man who kidnapped her and killed her parents “locked up forever,” saying “he tried to steal me. And he didn’t care who he killed or who he hurt.”

Jayme’s first public statements about her ordeal came at the sentencing hearing for Jake Patterson, 21, who admitted concocting a plan to kidnap the 13-year-old girl after seeing her get off a school bus near her home. Jayme did not appear in court, but her guardian read her words to the judge.

Patterson pleaded guilty in March to two counts of intentional homicide and one of kidnapping. He killed Jayme’s parents, James and Denise Closs, at the family’s home near Barron, about 90 miles northeast of Minneapolis. Jayme escaped in January from Patterson’s cabin near the small and isolated town of Gordon, some 60 miles from her home.

Jayme wrote that Patterson “thought that he could own me, but he’s wrong. I was smarter.”

“He thought he could control me, but he couldn’t,” she added. “He could never take away my spirit. He thought he could make me like him. But he was wrong.”

Patterson “will never have any power over me. I think I have some power over him,” Jayme wrote — the power to ask the judge to keep him behind bars for the rest of his life.

Patterson faces up to life in prison on each homicide count, and up to 25 years in prison on the kidnapping count.
