WISCONSIN — The story of Wisconsin teen Jayme Closs, including her abduction and escape from captor Jake Patterson, will be the subject of a new television documentary that will broadcast later this month.
A&E Networks announced that their channel Lifetime will broadcast Smart Justice: The Jayme Closs Case on Saturday, April 27 at 7 p.m. CDT.
The 90-minute special will feature Elizabeth Smart’s exclusive interviews in Jayme’s case and improbable rescue.
Smart will also bring together six other well-known victims of abduction for a round table discussion to help tell Jayme’s story.
Patch Coverage:
Smart’s kidnapping and return to her family in Salt Lake City, Utah, made national headlines nearly 20 years ago. Smart, then 14, was kidnapped June 5, 2002, from her bedroom in Salt Lake City by Brian David Mitchell, a man known as “Emmanuel,” who had worked as a handyman at the Smart home. She was held captive for about nine months before she escaped and was located by police.
Patterson, 21, pleaded guilty to two counts of intentional homicide and one count of kidnapping related to the death of Jayme’s mother and father and her subsequent kidnapping.
Earlier, Patterson had said he would plead guilty, based on the text of a letter sent earlier this month to a Minneapolis TV station.
Patterson admitted to kidnapping Jayme after killing her parents, James and Denise Closs, on Oct. 15 at the family’s home.
