The Abduction: October 15, 2018
Our story begins on a quiet Monday night in Barron, Wisconsin. Jayme Closs, then 13 years old, was home with her parents, James and Denise Closs. Around 8:00 PM, a 911 call was made from the Closs home, but no one was on the line. When police arrived, they found the door kicked in, Denise's vehicle gone, and the couple's bodies inside, having been shot.
Jayme was nowhere to be found. A massive search ensued, and 48 hours later, there was still no sign of her. The community was in shock, and the nation was glued to their screens, praying for her safe return.
The Investigation: October 16-17, 2018
In those critical 48 hours, investigators worked tirelessly to piece together what had happened. They discovered that Denise's cell phone had been used to search the dark web for information on guns and other topics. They also found that the family's home security system had been disabled.
The FBI joined the investigation, and Amber Alerts were issued in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Illinois. Hundreds of tips poured in, but none led to Jayme's whereabouts. The community held vigils, and #FindJayme trended on social media, as people across the country joined in the search.
