Before Jake Patterson was sentenced to two life sentences for kidnapping Jayme Closs and killing her parents in October, her family attorney read powerful words from her in court. Here’s her full statement:
« I felt safe in my home, and I loved my room and all of my belongings. He took all of that too. I don’t want to even see my home or my stuff because of the memory of that night. My parents and my home were the most important things in my life. He took them away from me in a way that will always leave me with a horrifying memory. »
‘Jake Patterson can never take away my courage’
« I have to have an alarm in the house now just so I can sleep. I used to love to go out with my friends.
