Jayme escapes But then on January 10, he told Jayme he was going to be out for a few hours. Once he was gone, she shoved away the bins and weights that barricaded her under the bed, crawled out, got out the front door and stepped into the snow. A woman walking her dog saw the girl, who said she needed help.

For the next 88 days, the teen was forced to live under a bed in Patterson's cabin. Authorities said it was barricaded with storage boxes and other weights, but she managed to escape. Patterson was arrested shortly after Closs was found. He was charged in connection to her kidnapping and her parents' murders.

After a deputy stopped him, Patterson exited his vehicle and said, "I did it." A hospital admitted Closs under guard. The next morning, they released her to the custody of her aunt, Jennifer Smith.

Patterson's statements run contrary to the facts uncovered in his case — that he didn't know Jayme, then 13, before watching her board a school bus, meticulously planned her abduction and held her against her will until she escaped in January.
