Not sure if you guys are following this case, but it's definitely crazy.
Cliffs:
10/15/18 - 911 call is made from a cell phone within a house in Wisconsin at about 1:00 am. Police arrive and find a woman and man shot dead, and their 13-year old daughter is missing. She was never considered a suspect and the police assumed she'd been kidnapped. Police eventually figure out that the 911 call was made from the mother's cell phone, but no one ever spoke into the phone - only commotion and yelling.
Since then the police have been running with leads, etc., but everything's been a dead end.
Fast forward to yesterday. A woman is walking her dog in a town about 70 miles north of the Closs home and some girl comes out of the woods looking disheveled. The woman immediately recognizes her as the missing teenager, Jayme Closs. Police arrive and Jayme gives a description of the kidnapper's vehicle. Cops pull him over a short time later and arrest him.
So far the police are saying that he had no prior contact with the Closs family, but that Jayme was his specific target. 21 years old, unemployed and kept her in a remote house in the woods. He had "zero" criminal history.

It goes without needing to be said that things like this are horrendous. It especially sucks when you have a daughter/daughters that are close to this girl's age - it sort of hits closer to home even though I have no idea who these people are other than a family that was just minding their own business. I can't imagine the horror this girl has gone through and will continue to go through for the rest of her life. I hope that with time she is able to find some semblance of peace.
