The 21-year-old Douglas County man arrested in the kidnapping of 13-year-old Jayme Closs killed her parents because he wanted to abduct their teen-age daughter, investigators said Friday.

Barron County Sheriff Chris Fitzgerald said Jake Thomas Patterson, who had no prior criminal record, "planned his actions and took many steps to hide his identity."

Jayme escaped from a Douglas County cabin Thursday afternoon and was found by a woman walking her dog. That woman alerted a nearby neighbor, who called 911.

Fitzgerald said Jayme has been medically cleared, is out of the hospital and is being interviewed by law enforcement.

Speaking at thronged news conference Friday morning, Fitzgerald said Patterson is being held on tentative charges of two counts of homicide and one count of kidnapping. Formal charges are expected to be filed next week.

"This was a team effort from the beginning," Fitzgerald said. "We had a singular focus to bring Jamie home."
