Jake Patterson Sentenced To Life In Prison Without Parole For Kidnapping Jayme Closs & Killing Her Parents

"I wish we could go back in time to make sure that James and Denise were never murdered nor Miss Closs were never kidnapped," he said. "I'm here to see that justice is done."

"You intentionally murdered two innocent parents. You planned this, you had a mask, you stole a license plate so that you could not be discovered. You murdered Miss Closs' parents within feet of her or right next to her."

"There has been discussion of your character. You have no prior record, you have no criminal record, there was no evidence that you were under the influence of alcohol or drugs. You have alarming distorted views — for all of this I have no idea if there is any treatment."

"There is no doubt in my mind you are one of the most dangerous people on this planet," continued the judge. "I have no doubt that you have no regret and I have no doubt you have remorse. You are the embodiment of evil."

Prior to the sentencing and judge's statement, during the heartbreaking court session, six family members of Jayme gave heartbreaking testimonies pleading with the judge for the maximum sentence without parole. A statement from Jayme was also read out loud in court before the judge's ruling.

"My parents and my home were the most important to me," Jayme wrote in the statement. "I have to have an alarm now just so I can sleep. I used to go out with my friends I used to love to go to school. I love to go to dance, but he took those away from me too.. It's so hard to go out in public. I get scared and anxious... There is one thing he couldn't take from me. He can't take my freedom... I was smarter then him. I watched his routine and I took back my freedom."

"I will go on to do great things in my life and he will not," Jayme continued. "Jake Patterson will never have power over me. I have power over him because I get to tell the judge what he should do to him. He should stay locked up forever."

Among the testimonies was also Jayme's aunt.

"I am Jim's little sister" Kelly Engelhardt said sobbing. "I tried to cry as much as I could so I wouldn't do this right now. But as you can see before the beautiful people that spoke before me this is devastating to us all. My brother, 56-year-old, just s simple man. Didn't have toys, didn't have trucks, he just worked. He worked. He worked every single overtime shift he could, and I never once heard him complain about it, because he did what he had do."

"My brother and sister-in-law died trying to protect her," Kelly added. "I don't want myself, Jayme most of all, or my family to fear another day. I don't want another family to go through what we went through. Judge please sentence him to two life sentences with no possibility of parole. We all need to go to bed knowing that no one else will be hurt."

Wearing glasses and an orange jumpsuit, Patterson had his head down the entire time his legal team, who begged the judge to give him a more lenient sentence of treatment/rehabilitation.
