The Disappearance of Jayme Closs




The Daily Dive show

Summary: On October 15, 2018 13 year old Jayme Closs went missing in Wisconsin after her parents were killed in their family home. Jayme was missing for 88 days before she was found last week. 21-year old Jake Thomas Patterson was arrested and charged with kidnapping and the murder of her parents. It is an odd story that still has many unknowns. It is unclear why Patterson targeted Jayme, he saw here getting on a school bus and according to investigators, “he knew that was the girl he was going to take.” My producer Miranda joins us for the details we know, including how she was found and the former social worker who kept her safe until police arrived. Next, there is an effort to make hipsters the new hunters. The number of Americans 16 and older who hunt, has dropped 18% from two decades ago and an older generation of hunters is pitching the sport as a way to make sure that the meat you get is local and sustainable. Zusha Elinson, reporter for the WSJ, joins us how hunters are targeting hipsters with slogans like “Hunters are the original conservationists.”
