Jake Patterson

Jake Thomas Patterson is a Kidnapper and a murderer for the abduction of Jayme Closs and the murder of both her parents

Background
Not much is known about Patterson's past, but classmates describe him as "quiet and odd."

Patterson grew increasingly isolated from friends, classmates, and almost everyone except his family. Some schoolmates thought Patterson was serving in the Marine Corps, probably as an infantryman as he'd vowed he would via a message in their 2015 yearbooks. Others, if they bumped into him at one of the handful of jobs he cycled through after graduation, assumed he'd begun a career at a local meat-packing plant or a wood-pellet factory.
