BARRON, Wis.—A man accused of kidnapping a 13-year-old Wisconsin girl and killing her parents waived his right to a preliminary hearing Wednesday, telling his family, “I love you,” moments after he was ordered to stand trial.
Jake Patterson, 21, is accused of killing James and Denise Closs on Oct. 15, and kidnapping their daughter Jayme Closs from their Barron home. Jayme escaped on Jan. 10, after 88 days.
