Jayme Closs: Wisconsin teenager still missing after parents found dead in home

Police have received more than 1,000 tips, but no substantial clues about the teenager's whereabouts

Wisconsin police and 100 volunteers have turned up nothing useful in a massive search for a 13-year-old girl who went missing after her parents were found dead in their homes.

Early on Monday morning, authorities received a 911 call from a house along Highway 8 in Barron County, Wisconsin. The dispatcher said no one spoke directly to the 911 operator on the phone, but they could hear a disturbance. When police on the scene four minutes later, they found two bodies and no sign of the couple’s daughter Jayme Closs.

Her parents had been shot and the rescuers have found no clues into the teenager’s location.

Police, family members, and volunteers have been searching desperately for Jayme, and authorities have issued an amber alert. Closs is now on the FBI’s top missing persons list.

Jayme is 5’0 and 100 pounds with strawberry blonde hair and green eyes. Police have received more than 1,000 tips, but no substantial clues about her whereabouts. Police have asked anyone with information to call 1-855-744-3879.

Police said that are sure that Jayme is alive, and is in potential danger - she is not a suspect in the case of her parents' deaths.

The volunteers and law enforcement scoured the highway and searched a 20-mile radius of the Closs home.

Barron County Sheriff Chris Fitzgerald said that he does not know if the attack were targeted or random. A neighbour said that he had heard two gunshots a few seconds apart, but had figured that they were from a hunter or someone trying to scare away a bear.

The deaths were ruled a homicide. However, no people, cars, or guns were found at the scene.

Both slain parents worked at Jennie-O Turkey Store, a subsidiary of Hormel foods.
