A Minnesota television station reported Mar. 7 that the Wisconsin man charged with kidnapping 13-year-old Jayme Closs says in a letter from jail that he plans to plead guilty.
KARE-TV reported that suspect Jake Patterson’s Feb. 28 letter was in response to a letter from a station reporter. Patterson wrote that he planned to plead guilty because he didn’t want Jayme’s family “to worry about a trial,” the station said.
