they watched my tick-tock version of this case the Jaimie closed case and so thank you for making that the jump and watching the full version I hope you'll stick around and you'll actually subscribe to my channel because I'm trying to make YouTube my primary medium for sharing stories with the world it'll be much the same content that I'm putting on Tik Tok you know scary stories murder mysteries unsolved stuff spooky stuff dark stuff just kind of anything that's that's compelling and YouTube's can be the place where I try to do that primarily and so I'm already committing to doing you know one video on YouTube a week I'm trying to make it - this is the first week I've done - so we'll see how it plays out I do have you know three kids and other job responsibilities so it's a little hard to juggle but I love doing this stuff so please if you enjoy this video and you like my content please subscribe please stick around so with today's case the the Jaimie closed case the reason I ended up choosing this one and making a tik-tok version of it now YouTube's version of it is actually pretty straightforward it's because even though it's true if you were to make a movie out of this case the viewers wouldn't really believe it because the perpetrator in this case has no motive and has no history of committing any crimes and they get a parking ticket any targets a child with I mean putting that all together you don't see that that is not a popular archetype for a movie the idea that there are just these random you know perpetrators out there just targeting random children and harming them and their families there has to be a motive especially when it comes to children being involved there has to be a motive and in this case there really wasn't and and even even the perpetrator when he was in prison he a letter to Jamie and her surviving family members where he kind of tried to explain why he did it but even he didn't have strong enough language to communicate what it was he made it seem like it was pretty complicated and even he didn't know he just said hey look I'm not a serial killer I just I just had to do this and I don't really know why so it's just one of the more disturbing cases when you go into it knowing that this whole thing was perpetrated by someone who had no criminal history he had no connection to the victims except that he randomly had a chance encounter with with one of them and it just kind of happened it's just one of those horrible things that even now no one really understands including the killer himself so let's dive into it in 2018 21 year old Jake Patterson is on his way to work at a cheese factory in Wisconsin he'd only been working there for a couple of days this is like his third day on the job you know he's this kind of typical guy leading a typical life in Wisconsin and he's driving his his Ford Taurus he comes to a stop behind a school bus where middle school kids are getting on the bus and he's sitting there and he looks up and he sees for the first time in his life a blond-haired green-eyed girl who ended up being 13-year old Jamie Close and as he's sitting there because this all came out in a very lengthy confession so we have lots of details about this case as he's sitting there watching Jamie who again he doesn't know get on the bus he has this realization that she is going to be the girl that he takes he actually says that that sitting behind the wheel he's like I realized right then and there that she's the one I'm gonna take and so a guy with no criminal history he's sitting there coming up with this plan of how he's gonna abduct this girl and it would come out later in his confession which again was very lengthy that he put a ton of effort into planning out this abduction so let's talk about Jake's plan he takes his father's Mossberg 12-gauge shotgun which is a very commonly purchased weapon he assumed that because it is you know so widely purchased it would be hard to track okay so he takes his gun takes a couple slugs so he's got his weapon then he goes and purchases a balaclava so a mask a whole head mask from Walmart he you know shaves his head shaves his beards that there wouldn't be any hairs you know for forensic evidence at the crime scene this is also premeditated he he went out and purchased gloves and wiped his gloves also they wouldn't have prints on them he purchased steel toed boots and dark jeans and a dark jacket in the car he was gonna use cuz he deep again he plans on abducting Jamie and he knew who's gonna be keeping her in the trunk he cut the cord inside of his vehicle it was the when you press this button inside the car would open the trunk basically he didn't want any access to the trunk unless he had the key so he cuts that cord he disconnected the dome light inside of his Taurus his Ford Taurus to try to better conceal him when he's in the car I mean this guy he's really thinking hard about how he's gonna do this he knew he was gonna go in that house he's gonna take Jamie and then he had his big plan right two separate times Jake tried unsuccessfully to abduct Jamie he drove to their house the first time and there were cars in the driveway so he got spooked any leaves he comes back and he's about to drive up the driveway when lights come on so he leaves again but on October 15th 2018 he was unfortunately he was successful it was around midnight when Jake Patterson rolls into the close family's driveway the lights in his car are off the headlights are off and he rolls into the driveway and inside of this very modest home Jaime was sleeping with her dog Molly and Molly hears the car pull into the driveway and starts barking wakes up Jamie Jamie looks out he's a car she doesn't recognize it's the middle of the night and she runs to her parents room and she alerts her parents Jamie's father James he goes to the front door with a flashlight meanwhile Denis that's Jamie's mother and Jamie retreat into the bathroom where they shut the door they sense that this was potentially going to be a home invasion and certainly they were right so they actually barricade the door with a dresser that was in there and they get in the tub and they shut the curtains and so James is at the front door and he watches Jake Patterson get out of his car calmly walk up the steps to the front door and at this time James is thinking that perhaps this is the police and so when Jake arrives at the door and starts banging on the door James shines his light out through the window kind of gets a peek at him then moves over to the door itself where there's this little tiny window on the door and he looks through shining the light and he says show me your badge and unfortunately it was at the same time that jake raises his shotgun and pulls the trigger shoots right through the glass hits James and James dies immediately back in the bathroom Jamie would later say that when she heard that shotgun blast that she knew that her father was dead and I think Denis her mother knew that as well because immediately Denis picks up her phone and calls 911 as she's talking to the dispatcher who said that there were no police in the area so further confirming that this was definitely not the police because they didn't see that interaction at the door that has heard it jake at the front doors trying to bust in the door he can't do it so he takes his shotgun ejects a spent round and then puts a slug through the doorknob making it come wide open he pushes it open steps over the body of James and begins to search the house the house is empty every door is open except one and it's the bathroom door where Denis and Jamie are hiding in the bathroom Jake begins to try to push the door open he can't do it and finally he just starts trying to smash the door in now 1015 blows he actually managed to split the top half of the door open because the dresser was blocking the lower half he goes into the bathroom and he rips down the shower curtain and there is Denise bear hugging and protecting her daughter Jamie in the tub Jake hands duct tape to the mother Denise and tells her to put duct tape over the mouth and the hands of her daughter she refuses she's protecting her daughter jake sets his shotgun down pushes the knees aside and does it himself and then after getting Jamie out of the tub he picks his right his shotgun up again aims it at the mother turns his head and he pulls the trigger and he kills the mother picks up Jamie she's only about you know five foot hundred pounds and he drags her out to his car opens up the trunk of his Taurus puts her in Shutts it and he's on his way he was in the house for a total of four minutes he would say in his confession Jake that as he's driving away about 20 seconds after departing the house he saw all the cop cars coming down the road and actually police officers would say they remembered a Taurus yielding to the police cruisers as they came in he makes his way around them and off he goes and Jamie would say she remembered hearing the sirens and then they fade as they disappear jake would drive 70 miles to his house where he would keep Jamie prisoner for the next three months investigators the the local population everybody is looking for Jamie and at the same time I mean people didn't have high hopes for her safe return I mean and the vast majority of cases like like these where you know a child's been abducted unfortunately they usually don't get home safe and so the whole community is just devastated this is gaining national attention everybody is looking for Jamie and they can't find her the whole time she was being held 70 miles away in Jake Patterson's cluttered kind of crummy house that was out in the middle of the woods when they got to his house he burned her clothes and his gloves and the duct tape he gave her his sister's pajamas and then he had go under the bed this Betty had in the house and he barricaded her underneath the bed so he had a pillow and a blanket and she was just underneath this bed and you know that was it she basically was ignored I mean her captor Jake Patterson he puts her under the bed and he warns her you know if you if you leave or try to escape you know bad things are gonna happen to you and because she did witness him kill her parents she knows he's capable of that and he knows that she knows that he's capable of that so he had this stranglehold on her where he basically just said you're staying under the bed and don't you dare leave and she listened and frankly you can't blame her right you know and so she would go stretches of eight ten twelve hours of laying under the bed with no food no water no bathroom breaks but ultimately she was just kind of ignored there wasn't really a plan for you know what was gonna happen when she got to the house he just kind of neglected her after two weeks where he was really on guard and he told her that he was keeping a shotgun right outside her door in case anything went down with the police when no one came looking for them or when no one arrived at his place he he was he felt very confidently that that he had gotten away with his crimes to the point where he actually Jamie would say he started having guests over you know he had friends over and he just told her stay in the room don't come out and so for 87 days that's how it was she just was neglected this poor girl was underneath this bed you know just wondering what the heck's gonna happen with obviously no time to grieve over the loss of her parents mr. Patterson he really didn't leave the house and when he did I think he left one time to visit a grandparent and he he was very aggressive and warning her that he would hurt her if she tried to leave but for the most part you know he didn't leave the house but you could tell in looking at this case that he became fairly confident that he was just gonna get away with this and so he actually applied for a job and and he left one morning to go to the interview and it's kind of funny on his in a dark way he is what did he write on his on his application that he's an honest hard-working guy and under skills he said he doesn't have much work experience but he shows up to work and as a quick learner and so here he goes he goes out to just get a job and go back to normal and when he left that morning Jamie who's under the bed it's just she's done she's not gonna be a captive anymore and as soon as he leaves she pushes aside the barricade of you know there's some weights that were there and dresser she pushes it all aside she runs out she puts on his shoes which were too big bird she puts him on the wrong feet and she runs out the door she doesn't know where she is just no anything but she's gone a woman was walking her dog around 4:00 p.m. her name was Jeannie nutter and she sees this this girl this teenager who doesn't have a coat on just never loves on it's it's bitterly cold there in the middle of Wisconsin in the wintertime and she sees her coming towards her and she can tell kind of instinctively that something's wrong okay this is naughty this is not just some nice kid coming down the road there's there's an issue here and as she got closer and the girl said I'm lost I need help my name is Jamie the woman Jeannie said that she immediately knew who it was she lived in the area and she had seen the posters up for Jamy she knew exactly who she was she gave her a big hug and held her and said you know I've got you I'm gonna take care of you and so holding her closely she brings her to a nearby neighbor's house she said this is this is Jamie clothes we have to call the police if they go in there and the homeowners got their weapons out and they guarded the door and they huddled around Jamie while Jeannie called the police and the police just didn't even know what to do they were so shocked that they had found Jamie clothes that actually took a minute for them to recognize what they were saying and how urgent it was that you come here right now because at some point her captor who can't be that far away is gonna recognize that she's not there anymore and so they send the police and you know luckily Jamie's brought in and is is saved you know certainly not from the emotional toll but is physically safe Jake comes home from his big job interview and he sees the Chaney's gone and he sees footsteps leaving his property in the snow and he goes out looking for her and you know just because this is the way things go sometimes he was immediately rounded up by the police they found his car they found him and as soon as he was pulled over he didn't resist in fact he immediately identified himself and said that he did it Jake Patterson was given a life sentence without the opportunity for parole so he will die in prison but to this day no one really understands how this could have happened and going back to what I said at the beginning cases like this don't happen there's always some reason for a crime such as this it we can't as human beings accept that some stranger has the ability to randomly target a child and go as far as to kill their parents in front of them and hold them hostage when they have no criminal history there's no red flags it just he happened to see her getting on a bus and that was all he needed I mean how could that possibly be the case but in this unfortunate case just this so that's gonna do it guys I hope you enjoyed this please hit like and subscribe I'll be doing stories like this one and many more you know mysteries scary stories spooky stuff interesting stuff on this channel at least once a week so I hope that you will continue to tune in and please follow me on social media I am mister ballin on tik-tok and I am John ballin four one six on Instagram if you have story suggestions you can hit me up on Instagram and I will definitely it back to you so that's gonna do it guys thank you all very much talk to you soon
