The Kidnapping of Jayme Closs

Brief vehicle footage helped identify a killer and lead to a miraculous rescue.

After the 2018 murder of her parents and her own abduction, the only initial clues were from security cameras near the Closs home. The footage captured fleeting images of the suspect's car, which helped investigators narrow down the vehicle type. This eventually led them to Jake Patterson and the rescue of Jayme Closs 88 days later.
