«Breaking News» Jayme Closs' kidnapper was a quiet student who lacked social skills

Jake Thomas Patterson was arrested last Thursday soon after 13-year-old Jayme managed to escape the remote woodland cabin in Gordon in rural Wisconsin where she had been held captive for 88 days

The 21-year-old man accused of kidnapping teenager Jayme Closs and killing her parents in a home invasion appears to have led an unremarkable existence and has been described by former classmates as a quiet student who lacked social skills. 

Jake Thomas Patterson was arrested last Thursday soon after 13-year-old Jayme managed to escape the remote woodland cabin in Gordon in rural Wisconsin where she had been held captive for 88 days. 

Patterson is accused of snatching Jayme from her home in Barron - 70 miles from where she was found - on October 15 after shooting dead her parents James and Denise. 

The wooden cabin where Jayme was held is the same place where Patterson had lived with his parents and brother growing up. 

The few neighbors who know Patterson's family say he grew up in the cabin, which is in a remote development that's a mix of seasonal and year-round homes about 10 miles from the town of Gordon. 

The town where he was raised has only 645 residents. The majority of those people didn't even realize that Patterson still lived in the area and some say they never even knew of his existence. 

Patterson's high school teachers barely remember the now 21-year-old man who graduated only three years ago. 

He graduated in 2015 from Northwood High School in nearby Minong, a single building that houses pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. 

There were only 34 people in his graduating class, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Her parents, James Closs, 56, and Denise Closs, 46, were found shot dead inside their family home

He wrote in a school yearbook about his plan to join the U.S. Marine Corps following graduation but it is not clear if he followed through. 

Patterson signed the yearbook: 'I'm finally done with school.'

His classmates, who wanted to remain anonymous, recalled him being a quiet student who would sometimes sleep in class and someone who was 'was just kind of there'.

'He seemed like he was just one of those guys in school that wanted to fit in but couldn't because he lacked social skills… (He) never really made an impact in any way,' one former student said. 

Another said: 'Randomly in class, Jake would crack a joke and it would be absolutely hilarious and the whole class would hear it.'

Patterson was a member of the school's quiz bowl team, which competed against other schools in tests of knowledge. He also wrestled in elementary school but refused to participate in high school. 

His former classmates remembered him for not going to prom or joining the class on their senior trip to Florida. 

He also refused to pose with his graduating class for a photo and his former classmates don't remember him taking part in the ceremony.  

They say he just 'disappeared' after high school.

Northwood Superintendent Jean Serum called Patterson a 'quiet, good student who had wonderful friends and a supportive class,' but said she had no real memories of him. 

Neighbor Kristin Kasinskas said she was Patterson's middle school science teacher but that she didn't really remember anything about him except that he was quiet.

The home in Eau Claire Acres in Gordon, Wisconsin where kidnap victim Jayme Closs, 13, was held captive for 88 days

Patterson's parents divorced in 2008, according to online court records. 

Neighbor Daphne Ronning said that the parents eventually moved away but that Patterson and his older brother, Erik, continued to stay in the cabin. 

She said she and her husband once caught them siphoning gas. 

Another neighbor, Patricia Osborne, said the brothers often got into trouble. She said they stole things and spent time in foster care.

The suspect has no apparent online presence and it appears he has been living in the family cabin but kept a low profile.  

Property records indicate his father still owned the place in October but he transferred the title of the cabin to Superior Choice Credit Union just days after the attack.

Patterson worked for a day in 2016 for the Jennie-O turkey plant in Barron before he quit, saying he was moving out of the area.

The plant is the same place where Jayme's parents had worked for 27 years but it's not believed they would have crossed paths with Patterson.  

It's unknown what he has done for a living since then. 

Barron County Sheriff Chris Fitzgerald said he was unemployed when officers arrested him. 

Jayme was found at Eau Claire Acres, a development located about 70 miles away from her home in Barron

Jayme has now been reunited with her surviving family members and has been pictured settling back into life with loved ones and flashing 'big smiles'. She is pictured above with her aunts Jennifer Smith (left) and Sue Naiberg Allard (right) 

Authorities believe Patterson went to the Closs home intending to kidnap Jayme back in October but they haven't been able to find any connection between him and the Closs family. 

The girl's grandfather, Robert Naiberg, insisted on Saturday that none of them know him, raising questions about how Patterson became aware of Jayme. 

Investigators say they've found no evidence of any online conversations between the two. 

Jayme had been missing for nearly three months when she approached a stranger Jeanne Nutter, who was out walking her dog at the time, on Thursday.

The teenager was described as 'skinny and dirty but outwardly okay'.

Nutter, who recognized the girl immediately, took her to a neighbors home so they could alert authorities.

Patterson, who had no criminal history in Wisconsin, was arrested minutes later based on Jayme's description of his vehicle. Police said that he was driving round hunting for Jayme after he noticed her missing.

He was jailed on suspicion of kidnapping and homicide. 

The neighbors who took the teen in briefly after her escape, the Kasiskas, described the terrifying moment that Jayme arrived at their home, saying they feared that her abductor could be right behind her. 

Businesses in the town where Jayme lived with her parents put up 'welcome home Jayme' signs following her escape

Jayme has now been reunited with her surviving family members and has been pictured settling back into life with loved ones in Barron

'When our neighbor Jeanne came in with Jayme, she said: 'Get a gun. We don't know if he's after us,' Kasinskas said. 'So we were armed and ready in case this person showed up,' Kristin Kasiskas told Fox News. 

Police have still not identified a motive for the killings but said Patterson did not appear to know or have any connection with the family. 

'This is a true mystery. We believe the first time they met was the night of the incident,' the sheriff said.

Authorities are searching through Patterson's phones, computers and the car he was driving in when arrested.

Police believe Patterson killed the Wisconsin couple because he wanted to abduct their daughter. They say she was 'the only target'.

They said Patterson 'planned his actions and took many steps to hide his identity'.

Jayme has now been reunited with her surviving family members and has been pictured settling back into life with loved ones and flashing 'big smiles'. 

Speaking to DailyMail.com on the first day that she has woken up in the safety of her family's care since her extraordinary recovery on Thursday afternoon, her aunt Jennifer Smith said: 'She had a good night's sleep. It's been just wonderful and it's just wonderful to have her back.

'God is good! He answered our prayers he certainly did and we've just been overwhelmed by everyone's support. '

'Last night, we were actually able to bring her home to Barron County. That's been the goal of mine for 88 days. And - we got to bring her home,' said Fitzgerald.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
