He made two trips to Jayme's house over the course of the following few days, but he was scared off by the automobiles in the driveway or the people entering. But Patterson was adamant on bringing Jayme along when he showed up for the third time on October 15. When the family dog started barking, James Closs, Jayme's father, walked to the front door to look into it. The man was killed when Patterson shot him through a window.
Jayme and her mother, Denise, were hiding in the bathroom when he rushed in and broke down the door. Denise attempted to dial 911, but before Patterson entered, she was unable to speak to the dispatcher.


Patterson nearly slipped in a pool of blood while he was carrying a frightened Jayme Closs out of her house. After loading the teenager into his trunk, he took off. Patterson spent only four minutes inside the house.
The 911 dispatcher ordered authorities to the Closs residence after hearing cries in the background of Denise's call. On their way to the gory scene, the police discovered they had driven past Patterson's vehicle, Jayme strapped in the trunk. Investigators promptly issued an Amber Alert after concluding that Jayme was not a suspect in the killings after reaching the residence.
But it would be almost three months before Jayme Closs appeared at all.
