Thomas Patterson was a 21-year-old antisocial freak who desperately wanted a girl to keep him company. Instead of going the normal route of wooing a woman; he decided to abduct a 13-year-old girl, Jayme Closs.

In the early morning of October 15, 2018, Patterson went to the family house of Jayme Closs in Barron, Wisconsin, to abduct her. He shot and k-illed her parents because he wanted to leave no witnesses.

He took her home and kept her as his own, he would force her under his bed whenever he went out.

Patterson claimed they just played games together, watched TV, slept in the same bed, had conversations and did a lot of cooking together. There was no se-xual assault.

The day Jayme escaped, January 10, 2019, Patterson had shoved her under his bed before he left his cabin. As soon as he was gone, she mustered enough courage to run to freedom. Once she was outside, she met someone that conveyed her to safety.

Patterson was arrested and sentenced to life in prison.
