Audio of the 911 call moments after Jayme Closs escaped captivity in a northwestern Wisconsin home revealed a caller who is certain that her surprise visitor is the teenager who had been missing for nearly three months.
"I have a young lady at my house right now and she says her name is Jayme Closs," Kristin Kasinskas said late Thursday afternoon in her call to Douglas County emergency dispatch from her home near Gordon, Wis.
Authorities this week released the audio of the 30-minute call, which revealed the neighbors remaining calm while realizing the danger of the situation as authorities rushed to the scene.
"OK, have you seen her photo, ma'am?" the dispatcher asked Kasinskas, referring to the near-daily public display of Jayme's image since her parents were shot dead in their home near Barron, Wis., moments before 21-year-old Jake Patterson allegedly abducted her.
"Yes, it is her," Kasinskas replied. "I'm 100 percent it is her. One hundred percent."
"Did she show up walking?" the dispatcher asked.
"A neighbor just walked up with her to our house and asked us to call 911," Kasinskas said.
As the dispatcher paused in her questioning, Kasinskas chatted with Jayme, asking whether she was cold and maybe needed a blanket or something to drink.
