But yeah, go listen to it because she's hilarious and it'll give you a little vibe into what she is and it'll make you want to see her live and come see us. But before you do that, listen to this episode. You definitely should listen to this episode. What are we going to be talking about? Asks me who did this. We're going to be talking about. Or Ash is going to be talking about. Now I'm going to be going

what? What? To the crazy ass case of Jamie Klaus. The Jamie Klaus kidnapping. A mini morbid. This one's a dozy. Truly intense. A true doozy, if you will. Okay. So on October 15th, 2018 is when Jamie was actually abducted from her home by 21-year-old Jake Patterson. He actually saw her and picked Terrell a little while before he went on October 15th to kid to kidnap her. He was driving to work. He was working as a temp at a cheese factory or like a cheese place. She didn't look too heavily into the cheese.

That it made me want cheese. But he was on his way to his job as a temp. Saw her getting on the bus. Saw her come from her home. And he was like, that's the girl. That to me is the scariest part of that. We haven't even gotten into the nitty gritty here. And that to me is the scariest part of this case.

Oh, it's absolutely terrifying. It's reason number 4,022. I don't want my kids to take the bus because anybody can see their route. Mm-hmm. It's reason number 420,000 million hundred to never leave your house and just stay quarantine for the rest of your life. Yeah. Like, we're all safe here finally.

And you know what? Change up your fucking routine. Yeah. That's like the number. one thing because we all do it. We all do the same are very, we're all creatures of habit. We all, it's much easier to stick to a routine, but you got to change it up, man, because these fucking predators look for that shit. That's why I live at like four different places. But it's like, but this poor kid didn't have the chance. I mean, she's a kid. She's getting

on the school. She doesn't have a fucking choice to do it every morning. And it's like, what the fuck? Exactly. So, um, what's his name? Jake had been thinking, I, well, I keep wanting to call him James for some reason, but his name is Jake. Because that's an author. Oh, okay. James Patterson. Thank you. Yeah. So Jake had been thinking about abducting a girl for a while. Oh, you know, just casually. I've been thinking of abducting a girl for a while.

It's so terrifying. Later on, he said, if it wasn't Jamie, it would probably be somebody else. Ew. Yeah. So that's gross. Hate him. Hate him so much. Just a little background into him.

There's really not much out there about him. I know, because this is a fairly recent case. Yeah, it was 2018. But just a little bit about him. His senior quote was, quote, I'm finally done with school. Period. Period. Okay. Like, that's the most anti-glimactic. That reminds me of in the office when Dwight Shrut does a birthday party, like throws a birthday party for, I think, like, Mindy Kaling's character. Yeah. Kelly. And he just puts on the sign, a banner on the wall that says, it is your birthday. Period. Like, it's just like, like, I'm finally done with school. I'm done with school. So sociopath.

Yeah, no shit. Willing to bet. All right. After high school, he went into the Marine Corps. but he actually only lasted there for about five weeks. Oh, not too long. No. The Marine Corps later said, quote, the character of his service was incongruent with the Marine Corps' expectations and standards. That's never good. No.

Never good. This is like a little bit haunting to me. His grandpa said that he had internal health issues and that's why he couldn't make it in the Marine Corps. Internal health issues. Inside of his brain. Okay. Yeah. All right.

I mean, we know he had. some issues because of what he did. And after he came home from the Marine Corps, all the people that he was friends with beforehand, because this is a really small town. He lived in Gordon, Wisconsin, and Jamie was from Barrow, Wisconsin. So they're 70 miles apart, but both of them are like really small towns. Oh, okay. So after high school, he became like super reclusive and even like his best friends just like tried to reach out to him and he was just not having it. Yeah. So just terminating of myself. That's it. It's definitely interesting. And then just a weird little side note, he actually briefly worked at Jenny O. Turkey store, which is where Jamie's parents had worked for

years. Oh, I think I remember reading something about that. But they had never crossed paths. Oh, that's so weird. It is weird that that happened, but he picked Jamie at complete random. Like, it had nothing to do it because he didn't really know her parents. He saw her get on the bus and was like, that's, that's it. That's to me the scariest motive. I saw her and I said that. That's her. Mm-hmm. And so like I said, he said, if it wasn't Jamie, it probably would have been someone else.

Gross. So he actually went to that house, the house where Jamie lived in Barrow, Wisconsin, two separate occasions before the night that she was abducted. The third time is absolutely terrifying. Oh, yeah. He was fucking prepared to do anything he had to do to kidnap that girl. Which is so bizarre to me because you have, he didn't know her, like at all. Like, why are you so dead set on kidnapping a 13-year-old girl that you don't know?

And he had no idea. This is how nuts this dude is. He walked into that house having no idea what was in there. No idea. Who was in there? What kind of people were in there? What they had in there? I mean, anybody who willingly go, like, will break into a home with no prior knowledge of what's

inside of it. You don't want that person in your house. Cuckoo Nut Man. And you want to run the other way. Exactly. So in preparation for this, he shaved his head and his beer. off so as not to leave any evidence. Ooh, too much CSI.

He cut the trunk cord, like, so that his trunk couldn't be, you know how there's like a safety feature now where if you are in a trunk, you can pull the cord to open it. And he cut that? He cut that. Holy shit. He switched the plates on his car. He stole plates from another car and switched them onto his. He disconnected the dome light in his car.

Oh, my God. So he, like, wouldn't be seen. He, I believe he borrowed one of his dad's guns. which was a very popular gun. I don't have it written down which one, but it's a popular gun that everybody has around there. So he was like, the casings won't be able to be matched with, like,

this one specific gun. So this is crazy premeditated. He bought the bullets for the gun and wiped them off before loading them into the gun so that there was no fingerprints. He wiped the gun for prints just in case. Yeah. And he bought a ski mask at Walmart. So that's terrifying.

Only the scariest thing you can wear to Home Invaded. abduct someone? A hundred percent. Yeah. So a little after midnight on October 15th, um, everybody is sleeping at Jamie's house because she's 13 and her parents are sleeping because it's after midnight. You know, everybody's sleeping. Um, Molly the dog, which Molly the dog, like, shut up. I can't. I know. Molly the dog. Sweet. She starts freaking the fuck out. And Jake is banging on the door. Um, Jamie's dad thought, can you imagine it's fucking midnight? someone's banging on your door. Somebody in a fucking ski mask and a black jacket.

Hell no. Wearing like scary boots. Like no. Fucking holding a gun. The boots, man. That would get me the most. I'd be like, look at those boots. Those boots for me for walking.

We can't let him in. He has crazy boots. Shut up. Just the whole outfit as a whole is scary. So Jamie's dad thought that Jake was actually a police officer or something. And he was like, show me your badge. Because he's like, why the fuck? you're trying to get into my house. Yeah. And Jake's yelling at him to get down on the ground. Like,

you better get down, blah, blah, blah. Obviously, Jamie's dad is like, what is going on? And he has a flashlight and he's looking through the window. Jake shoots Jamie's dad. And he dies immediately. My God. That is just the scariest thing ever. So he shot him through the window. And then he's trying to open the door to actually get into the house and he can't get it open. So he shoots the fucking doorknob off. Jesus Christ. He was like gunned. blazing getting into this house. He wanted into that house to get that little girl. So at this point, Jamie's dad, James is laying dead on the floor. And that's awful. Jake is, there's so many Jay names. I'm sorry if it takes me a second. Jamie James. I know that's hard. So Jake steps over James's dead body to get to wherever Jamie is.

So where Jamie is, during all this commotion, her mom, Denise and her are like freaking. the fuck out and they barricaded themselves in the bathroom. Oh, I remember reading about this and it broke my heart. Denise, her mom, was holding Jamie in like a, and what Jake calls is a bear hug. Oh my God. They were, I have to say, they were so fucking smart to do this. They pull, they, first of all, hid in the bathtub. They pulled a drawer out and locked the door and put a drawer like in front of. So if he tried to open it, it would hit the drawer. Exactly. So he was trying to open that door for like a while. And then he finally, he couldn't get the handle to budge and maybe he just didn't want to like shoot it again because he was afraid he was going to run out of ammo. Yeah. I don't really understand how this next

part happened, but he starts slamming his fucking body against the door to break the door down. Which imagine like sitting there in that bathtub with no other way out and this guy is just, you don't know what the fuck is going on. I just think of and the first thing I think of is her mom. Just like you have no way that you can protect your child. Exactly. You're just bear hugging her trying to do anything. And Jamie said they knew that her dad was dead, like obviously when that happened. So you're sitting there and your husband just died and now your husband and your dad just died.

And then you're like, how am I going to get out of this alive? And you're just hugging each other in a bathtub trying to stay away from him. Like, exactly. So he's, his body weight, he breaks the door and he splits it into two pieces and jumps through the fucking door like a psycho. And he sees. I hope Jake is in big trouble wherever he is. For reals. Jamie and Denise are hiding in the bathtub.

And so when he gets in there, he orders Denise to duct tape Jamie's mouth shut. So she's obviously... Her own child. Her own child. She's having trouble doing it because she's probably like shaking or just like freaking out. So he puts the gun down on like the sink or whatever and he duct tapes Jamie's mouth shut. He binds her legs and her arm or her hand. and he lifts her out of the tub and trigger warning this is really fucking horrible.

He looks away and shoots Denise in the head. Oh. And like, I don't know why it makes me so mad that he looked away. It's like if you're going to fucking do it. You better look the person in the eye if you're going to do it, you little coward. Oh, that makes me so. And this poor child. Oh, my God.

And then you're like, where am I headed? Like this poor monster. Like, just. I can't even imagine. I can't even. She is like the sweetest looking little girl. Like she just looks like an average little girl that was like living her life, doing her fucking thing, like just going to school.

So sad. This is such an upsetting case. It really is very upsetting. Yeah. He drags her at Jamie across the yard. So you're like, oh my God. Like what? He tosses her in the trunk where we know that she can't get out.

Oh my God. Which you've been taught your whole life. Like all the dare programs and everything to like pull that handle or to like or hit the the tail light out and wave your hand. But if her hands are bound, she can't. So he really thought of everything. Oh, he was meticulous, which is so scary. So while this is really awful to you, while driving away, Jake has to pull over for the police

who are responding to the 911 call because at one point, they're not sure who because nobody was able to talk on the 911 call, but either Jamie or Denise called 911 from the bathroom. Oh, my God. So they're responding to the 911 call, like, and they have no. idea what they're going to be walking into. Little do they know they just drove by. Holy shit. And the murderer and the girl is in the trunk.

Yeah. So. And Jamie could probably hear the sirens go right by her. And she said that she could. And she, then she was like, I heard the sirens for like a little bit, like a second almost. And then it was like, they just whizzed right by. Yeah. So the police obviously discovered

James and Denise's bodies, but not Jamie. So they put an Amber alert out. But she, he's already at Patterson Retreat. This motherfucker, Jake Patterson, it's like his dad's cabin that he lived in. I think he lived, he did live there on his own. Sorry, stumble, stumble, stumble. But his dad owned the cabin. And on the top, it said Patterson Retreat. That's real gross. Like, that's terrifying. That's real fucking gross. That's some Buffalo Bill style like fucked up in this. Oh, if you look at pictures of this fucking retreat, it is shag nasty. It ain't no retreat.

It is not a retreat. It has unfinished ceilings. Hate that. So the ceilings literally, you know, like that paper stuff that, like before you put up your ceiling? Yes. That's on the ceiling. There's just like disarray everywhere. So there's just like insulation up there?

No, it's, yeah, it probably is insulation. I don't know anything about houses. But it's. I didn't see the picture. There's just like scattered shit everywhere, boxes, like, laundry bins, nastiness. Get it together. It's fucking gross. look at the pictures.

Yeah. And then there's just like a little like sitting area with like a TV and then his room where he had a twin size bed. And that's where Jamie ends up spending a very long time. Oh, this blows my brain apart. Oh, God. It scares the shit out of me. So one week after Jamie's disappearance, the sheriff of Barron County asked 2,000 volunteers

to help search for evidence or anything around the area that they could find. And obviously they come up with nothing because. Yeah, because he thought of everything. There's nothing to come up with. I remember this too. remember when this happened when we all thought and everyone was like oh she actually to be honest people were like I have no idea what happened nobody knew it happened it was awful yeah so the police say that they've identified two cars on surveillance and at the time they thought it was either um

so one of them was a red or orange 2008 to 2014 Dodge Challenger and they said the second car was either a black 2006 to 2010 Ford Edge or an Accura MD X. Okay. And they couldn't get any plate identification. Like it didn't show up in the surveillance. So they do this thing at the high school where Jamie would have gone because she was in middle school at this point, but going into high school. And they call it a gathering of hope. And all her friends and like all the people in the community are there. Like just like a little vigil kind of thing. Exactly. Yeah. It's so sad. So meanwhile, back at fucking Patterson retreat, which is two hours away, by the way. She was a little. She was a little vigil kind of thing. She was a little. in that trunk for two hours. Because Gordon is about 70 miles away from where Jamie lived. Oh, my God. Yeah.

I can't even sit comfortably in a car for two hours. Imagine laying in a fucking trunk. No. Not having any. This poor little girl probably thought he was taking her to the woods to kill her. And you're just like grieving immensely because you just watched both your parents be murdered. I can't even imagine. I can't even imagine the pain she must have felt is out of this world.

So when she first arrived, she was forced to change. Jake had her change into his sister's pajamas. Gross. I don't really know why his sister's pajamas were out of his house, but they were. It's fucked up, man. Yeah, I feel like that's just so creepy. Yeah, everything about it, like, everything you're saying, I'm just like, yep. Yeah, it's gross.

I bet Jake did that. And then he went to the basement to burn her clothes and he burned the duct tape that was wrapped around her. So all evidence is gone. This dude watched way too much for Forensic Files. Oh, he knew exactly what he was doing. He also liked to read mysteries. Oh, weird.

And his favorite game was Risk. Oh, so that says something. I mean, there you go. And you know what? He was surprised by, he was surprised that he didn't have any blood splatter on his clothes. Oh, wow. I'm like, probably because you were like so far away and you turned your head like an asshole because you couldn't even, bitch.

Look at the people you were, oh, I can't. In their own home trying to protect their child. Yep. So Jamie spent altogether 88 days in captivity. That is insane to me. And most of the time, she was under that twin bed. He would barricade her in with, because so the bed was pushed in, like, up against a wall in a corner. So there was only, like, one exit, basically.

And he would barricade her in with, like, laundry bins or, like, boxes. And then on top of the bed, he would place barbells and, like, weights and stuff so that he would hear if she was going to escape. Holy shit. And for a lot of that time, she would go like hours and hours, like up to 12 hours without having anywhere to go to the bathroom. And just laying under a fucking twin bed with nowhere to move. And there was two and a half feet. It was two and a half feet off the ground. Like that, so all I could think of when I think of this is I can't even hide under a bed for any of it.

Like because my kids have this thing that they do now, that they have like big kid beds, which they have like the twin beds. which is the exact same size. And they'll, when John is like, you know, letting out the bath water after their bath, they want to hide and scare him when he comes back in the room, which you've seen. And so when I'm in the room, when this happens, they'll be like, Mama, you have to hide with us. And they do not take no for an answer when they want to hide. And so I have to slide under the bed most of the time because they want me to slide under there. I have a panic attack every time. And it is no joke, 15 seconds of being under that bed.

And I'm like, get me out of here. I'm freaking out. I'm claustophobic. And it just feels like the whole thing is just caving in on you. And you feel like you're not going to be able to get back out for some reason. I freak out. And then to not only be, if you had told me to lie under there for 12 hours. Not go to the bathroom.

No food. No water. I could even consider that. And I would just no way. But then if you're telling me I have to be under that bed for any amount of time and barricaded in there. Holy shit. The thought of it makes me. physically sick. It's still so unclear as to why he did this because so far, like, I couldn't

read anything of like something other than kidnapping her, which is like fucking horrible. He just left her there. Like he didn't really like do anything. Like I was like, what's the point of this? I want, I mean, we, we may not ever hear exactly what was done to her. I'm sure she didn't just get like, you know, left around. No, definitely not. But I'm just like, what the, Especially because of her age and stuff, they'll leave that kind of stuff out a lot of times. It was really hard to find some more stuff that we just won't hear for a long time, which I'd rather not. But yeah, I hope not. He at one point, which I just think when I, like this is like torturous.

He let her write a letter to her aunt saying like she was safe and like she was okay. And he was he was going to mail it, but then he like never did. That's because he's a fucking crazy person. Exactly. And this is going to. As soon as I was writing this, I was like, oh, Elaine is going to lose her shit. Oh, shit. When he had people over, he would always have music playing so that Janie couldn't hear what

was going on outside of that bedroom. And he would be, or they couldn't hear her in the bedroom. That's so fucked up. And I read something that was like, he would put her under that bed and like barricade her in there. Oh, yeah. And sometimes be in the room. Oh.

And just have the music up and people like hanging out and she'd just be under that bed. Oh, my God. That's so scary. And her, his dad would, his dad had no fucking idea. Obviously, nobody had any idea. His dad would come over every Saturday at the same exact time. Oh. Which is just like, can you imagine knowing now what that poor dad knows?

Holy shit. Like, knowing what was under his fucking crazy creature of a son's bed. Oh. Well, and that's, and it shows too that something terrible must have been being done to her by him. Yeah. For her to listen to him and stay under that bed. Mm-hmm. Because he must have, I mean, that's total manipulation and like mind control shit and like intimidation shit.

But like he must have done something terrible to her. To get her to be so scared. Right. And that's what really haunts me is like, what did he do to you? I don't. That's why I'm kind of glad that it's not out there. He did once hit her really hard. She said on the back with, quote, the handle of an item used to clean blinds.

So what I picture is that really like long stick with the yellow. fluffy yellow line. Yeah. And she said he hit her really hard on the back with it. And he was like, much worse will happen to you if you ever do what you did again. And she, when she said this, she was like, I can't remember what I did. She said like, I probably just existed. But, you know.

He told her she would get it so much worse if she ever crossed him. And anyway. So on the morning of January 10th, Jake told Jamie that he was going to be leaving for a few hours, which you're a fucking dumb idiot. Why would you say that? Yeah. If you're, I mean, I'm so. He really is such a fucking idiot though. You're kidding.

Yeah. You're good. Okay. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool.

Cool. So she was like, fuck this. Like, I'm not going to stay under this bed for the rest of my life. It's been 88 fucking days of this. A little bad bitch. Love her. She pushed the bins and the weights out of her way. She threw on his sneakers and she started down the road.

She fucking. Fuck. Yeah. Out of there. So a woman named Gene Nutter was walking her dog when she saw Jamie. And I just feel like her parents must have been watching over her. Like somebody was with her that day because this was not a time where Jean was normally up at her cabin. I think it was like a second home of hers.

Like she wasn't, there was no reason why she was like. It just happened to be a weird fluky happenstance, exactly. And Jamie walked over to her and she said, I'm lost. I don't know where I am. I need help. I'm Jamie. And Jean said when she looked at her, she was like, I fucking knew that she was. Because her picture had been everywhere.

I remember that. I would know that girl if I saw her. Exactly. And according to fucking Jake shit balls McGee, he said that whenever the news coverage would come on and like they were watching TV together. He was like, I let her watch TV. Like, okay, cool. Oh, so nice of you. So nice of you. You're gonna hate him at the end of this more than you already do. Fuck that guy. Um, he was like, whenever news coverage would come on, I would change it. But I looked at the news coverage on my phone. Oh, you're so nice. And you would tell her I just couldn't watch that. Oh. So nice of you. You're such a gentleman. He definitely made her watch that news coverage. For him to have to be like to twist that story.

Yeah, for him to be like, oh, I didn't. I did not make her watch that. No, you did. Shipballs. You just shot her parents in front of her and then kidnapped her and kept her for 88 days under her bed. But that's cool. Yeah, you didn't make her watch the news. I hate him so much.

Oh, so obviously, like I said, Jeannie noticed who she was right away. And she like scooped her up and ran to the nearest house. Can you imagine that? No. Oh, so Kristen Kaczynskas, I think that's how you say it, calls 911 because she was the nearest house. That's where they ended up. And she calls 911 as her husband stood by the door with a gun because everybody was like, get a weapon. Like, we don't know what this guy is capable of. You saw what he was capable of when he took her. So it's like, fuck. Meanwhile, Jake gets back home, notices, obviously. Can you imagine how pissed he was? Oh, my God, he must have been in rage. Now I'm so fucking happy.

Yeah, seriously. He notices that Jamie's gone and he goes out. driving around looking for her. So imagine if he had got home like, or like if he had been, he could have been pulling up the street like one minute before she was taken into that house. Like, oh, I'm so happy that the timing just worked out. So 4.43 p.m. the officers arrive and they take Jamie into like save her. That just like gives me great relief. Just that thought of that moment.

Oh my gosh, I know. But then, so like in the beginning of the story, like they drive right by him. they're driving away and they spot a red car and they're like it's registered to him because he had finally put his plates back on his car. So it's registered to Jake Patterson. He's driving by. And Jamie was like, I don't know if that's him because like she just couldn't tell. So they confirm it is. Officers pull the car over and Jake Patterson puts his hands up and goes, I did it. Yeah, no shit, asshole. Like cool, cool, cool, we know that. So cool. Dingus. I love that. He's like, oh, I surrender now. And it's like, fuck you. You were backed into a corner. Exactly. So he gets arrested, obviously, but now it's like, why did he do this? He says, quote, the reason I did do it is complicated. No one will believe or can imagine how sorry I am for hurting Jamie this much. Can't express it. He didn't even write I can't express it. He wrote, can't express it. Can't express it. Can't. Yeah. You're not even going to try. And I always love when they're like, no one can imagine how sorry I am. And I'm like, you're fucking right. No one can imagine how sorry you are. Because I've never. never in my life going to do something that I have to be that sorry about, you fucking slime bucket.

You know, the one thing that my mom said to me that I will always remember, if you were sorry, you wouldn't have done it. Exactly. And it's so true. If you were that sorry, wouldn't have done it. You wouldn't have done it. Exactly. So he wrote a letter actually to, I don't know why.

I think it's Lou Ragu's, but I really just want to say Lou Ragu. Lou Rgoo. From CAR 11, which is like a news thing. And he said things like, because Lou wrote him a letter. are asking all these questions and then finally Jake wrote back answering he was like I'll answer some of your questions okay you little cool that you get to play that game he said he didn't want Jamie and her family to have to go through a trial so he gave police as much info so Jamie wouldn't have to hurt by having to give them more info than she needed literally take off your fucking

night and shining armor outfit here yeah because you're a fucking diamond and also if you watched all those hours of CSI and all those crime shows you would know that no matter what they're going to ask her to recount everything. Of course they are. Because there's two sides to every story. They're not just going to be like, okay, Jamie, don't worry about it. Hers is the correct one. They probably don't even want to fucking hear what you have to say.

He said that his long-term plan was, quote, stupid looking back, but he won't say what it was. Oh, I fucking hate this turd. And you look at his face and you're just like, I hate you, I hate you. I want to punch his glasses straight into his eyeballs. Me too. And just watch them just like leave. leak out of the holes. I want to give him the most, this is just, this shows who we are. I want to give him a fucking atomic wedgy. I want to hang him from a ceiling fan by his undies. That really did

just show who we were. Turn it on as people. And he can't fall down. It's just wudgy and all over the place. Wedgy, wedgy, wudgy, bitch. We get really, really worked up about these things. Somebody did yell at us once and said that we're too violent about these people. which I thought was funny. Yeah. But like, that's a weird defense to come to. Never going to stop.

Never going to stop. Never go to stop. So, um, he said, quote, I didn't want to, like, do this. The reason. That's why you did it, you frucker. No, you wanted very badly to do this. You very much prepared for this. Made a lot of plans to do this.

And he said, um, the reason I did this is complicated and no one will get it. No, it's not. It's very simple. You're so deep and misunderstood. You're, it is very simple. You are a motherfucking puddle. You are not a deep-ass lake. No.

It is just that you are a fucking reptilian piece of garbage. Just fucking fossilized bird shit on the side of a garbage cam. And you smell. So, and then this pissed me off the most on the back of that letter in motherfucking bubble letters. I already want to punch him in the fucking flow. He wrote, I'm sorry, Jamie, for everything. So that all is in bubble letters. And the next to that really small, he wrote, I know it doesn't mean much.

Of course it doesn't fucking mean anything to me, you shit stain. What the fuck would that mean to me? I hope somebody just roundhouse kicks him in the fucking Adam's apple. He actually recently got into a fight with a prisoner. Did he get the shit kicked out of him? I didn't even look into it because I didn't want to know. I didn't want to know if he if he beat the crop out of the other guy because I just wanted to let it settle that he got beat the shit in my mind he's getting the shit kicked out of him

air single day. Yeah and I hope that his roommate makes him sleep under his bed. Yeah because they don't they don't take kindly to to people who do things to kids. So good luck, Jake. So all in all, he was found guilty, duh, of two counts of intentional homicide and one count of kidnapping, so he got life in prison. Good. Now, I want to end on Jamie's words because fuck anybody else's.

Jamie's attorney, Chris Gramstrup, I probably said that wrong, sue me, read her statement in court. Quote, he stole my parents from me. He stole almost everything I loved from me. For 88 days, he tried to steal me, and he didn't care who he hurt or who he killed to do that. He should stay locked up forever. He can't take my freedom.

He thought he could own me, but he was wrong. I was smarter. I watched his routine and I took back my freedom. I will always have my freedom and he will not. Jamie. Mother fucking drop your mic. The mother fucking Mike, Jamie. Sweetums.

Fuck, that was just. Say it, say it. Chef's kiss. Chef's kiss. Chef's kiss, Dana. And she was 13 when she, like. And she ended up with like, like. one of her aunts, right?

Yeah, she ended up with one of her aunts. She's like thriving, she said. She said that she's thriving and she said that her aunt decorated, like bought her brand new bed, decorated her room with like butterflies and stuff, like all the things that she love. Oh, I'm so glad she has that. And she got her dog Molly back. I didn't even know that.

I'm going to, we'll post the picture with the case on Instagram where we post all the pictures from the episodes. But yeah, she got her dog Molly back and there's a photo of her and her aunt and her dog Molly and she's like smiling. Good. She's just like, fuck you, Jake. I'm fine. And I love that that's basically what her response was. Yeah. She was like, he's dumb and I'm not. So fuck him.

Yeah, like she was like, and guess what? She's to be smart. Enjoy your time in jail, sucker. Yeah, I'm going to be free and you're going to be locked up forever, you ugly little troll. You piece of actual shite. You fossilized shite. You are a fossilized shite. So that was the absolutely tragic story of the murder of Denise and James Clause and the abduction of Jamie, but thank God she got out of there. Yeah, seriously.

Like, you know, it's just, anytime it's a complete stranger. Yeah. There's just nothing even to say about it except that is a fucking nightmare. No. That is every parents and kids, worst nightmare. Isn't just a straight up stranger coming to get you in the middle of the night. Like, holy shit. And I should mention, it's honestly really sad for his parents, too.

His mom said that she was terrified after this happened. And the neighbor said she couldn't leave her house. She was so scared. Well, can you imagine? No. And his dad was like, I can't believe that I was there. Yeah. And he probably feels responsible for not knowing she was there, even though he couldn't know.

You know what I mean? Oh, and his dad said he was like, basically he was saying he was so sad. And he was like, I want to get a note to her family. Like, I'm so sorry to them. That makes me so sad. Because that's the thing. It's like they, most of the time, the parents end up being victims as well. They do.

You know, like the parents of the murderer. And this is definitely one of those cases that it's like. You destroy so many people. He destroyed his own mother. Absolutely. And it's easy for people to quickly come to the conclusion that they want to get angry at the mother and father of the person. You know, like in the West Memphis 3 case, we saw Melissa Byers. I don't know.

I don't even think I mentioned it. It's in the documentary. It's in the documentaries. I'm sure you saw it. But they literally. she says at one point, like, um, I, you know, I, I, like, what does she say? Like, I curse, I curse these three boys and the mothers that bore them. And she says like, and she says it with like such a vitriol. But again, go watch Paradise Lost. It's crazy. But that, I remember watching that

and being like, I get it. Like, I understand. It's not logical, but it's makes sense. Because you're grieving. Nothing's logical. If somebody did something to my kids or like someone, someone, I loved, I would also hate their parents. Just because I'd be like, you brought them into the world, you know. But it's not fair. At the same time, because nine times out of ten, it has nothing to do with the parents. So that's just sad. There is a lot of victims in this case.

Yeah, a lot of victims in this case. And thank God she has like an aunt that's able to take care of her. I know. And I hope she thrives. And I hope she like, you know, like Amanda Knoxes it or like Emily or Emily. Elizabeth smarts it. She will. And just like comes out of there, just guns blazing.

I think she's gonna. Yeah. I mean, she definitely needs, she needs some time. She needs to get it together. And if she wants to live her life quietly for the rest of it, more power to her. I would want to live my life. I would not blame her. Real quiet.

But I feel like she's like such a fighter. 100%. Damn. Amazing little girl. Woof. So that's the tale of Jamie. It was heavy to do that one. That's real heavy for this mini. But we had a fun episode yesterday.

Yeah, fun spooky episode. About death games. Figured we would bring you back down to Earth. Yeah, we can't keep you up for too long. We got to smash you back down to reality. All right. Well, if you want to check out the picture of Jamie and her dog. Molly.
