‘Bye, Jayme,’ man who kidnapped girl and murdered her parents says as he leaves court

By Deanna Paul Deanna Paul Reporter covering national and breaking news Email Bio Follow March 27 at 8:23 PM A Wisconsin man charged with abducting 13-year-old Jayme Closs and fatally shooting her parents pleaded guilty Wednesday, bringing some closure to a case that made national headlines as authorities searched for the kidnapped teen for months.

Jake Patterson wept through the brief court appearance, struggling to utter the word “guilty” on two counts of intentional homicide, which carry a sentence of life imprisonment, and one count of kidnapping; the remaining charge of armed burglary was dismissed during the hearing. One of Patterson’s attorneys, Richard Jones, told the court that the 21-year-old had “wanted to enter a plea from the day we met him” and was adamant that “this is what he wants to do.”

Officers escorted Patterson out of the courtroom Wednesday. Before leaving, he faced the gallery and said, “Bye, Jayme,” according to the Star Tribune.As The Washington Post previously reported, Patterson was arrested in January and confessed to stalking Jayme in October and to killing her parents, James and Denise, on Oct. 15. According to police documents, after kidnapping Jayme, he kept her captive in a cabin for 88 days. The teenager escaped Jan. 10.Amy B Wang contributed to this report.

Men are the worst.

Another reason why the death penalty is necessary.

Yep, we can only hope the prison community looks forward to seeing him and talking with him about his actions. One can only hope.

Omg what a weirdo

sicko

If only we could hang him.

That pesky 8th amendment denies America the grisly pleasure of slow torture of this thing

Banality of evil

That comes under the, 'Hello, Clarice' type of creepy.

Hopefully the guard yells Chester walking as they take him to his cell tonight.

He needs jail justice.
