It’s the picture so many wanted to see. Jayme Closs, 13, was abducted in October after her parents were shot to death at their Wisconsin home, setting off a three-month search that many feared would end in heartache. But on Thursday, the teen escaped from a cabin in the woods where she had been held captive and flagged down a woman walking her dogs. Hours later, the man suspected of kidnapping Jayme and killing her parents, 21-year-old Jake Patterson, was arrested. A Facebook page devoted to the search for Jayme posted a photo Friday of her after being reunited with family, showing her smiling sweetly as she cuddled with an aunt and a dog. Investigators have still not said what Jayme endured during her captivity or why her family was targeted.
