Jake Patterson, the 21-year-old Wisconsin man who kidnapped Jayme Closs after killing her parents, was sentenced on May 24 to two life-without-parole sentences for the homicides and 25 years for kidnapping.

Jayme Closs’ relatives spent three months agonizing over the Wisconsin teenager’s whereabouts before she escaped from the man who'd gunned down her parents and imprisoned her in a remote cabin.
