Default Missing girl escapes after 88 days in captivity

Incredible news from Wisconsin. How often do you hear about somebody being kidnapped and then it usually ends up tragically. This amazing 13 year old managed to escape her captor who had murdered her parents and now the sicko is in custody. No prior criminal record and the authorities say he took extraordinary steps to avoid being on their radar. Having two daughters, the youngest who's close to the victims age got me pretty emotional thinking what it would be like if something similar happened to either one of them. Incredibly, the police force had just responded to a fake news story in a different county about finding the girl and then they got the call soon after that turned to be true. I hope an pray she get's all the love and support she'll need to overcome such a traumatic experience.

I hope so too.

And I hope the perp gets everything he deserves as well.

I had given up on her (sad to say), but I'm so happy she's free from that monster/killer of her parents

I hear they do things to men in jail that commit these kind of crimes

One has to hope that she wasn't sexually assaulted. At least she is free now!

I don't think that having one's parents murdered and being kidnapped qualifies to be very lucky.


At least that rear end opening will most likely never see the outside world again.

What I ask myself is:

Will he continue his hobbies after he's released from prison ?

Or

Will the psychologist see this and recommend a lifetime in prison, to protect civilians against this person.

He's most likely a double murderer and a kidnapper. I don't think he'll get a sentence with any chance of living long enough to serve it.

An important thing

She will never as long as she live forget this.

She will learn how to tackle this and work with her fear which will pop when she least expect it.

I feel so sad, when kids and young people are hurts.

This case is even more disturbing than I imagined. Seen her getting on the school bus and decided he was going to abduct her. During the court bail recommendation of 5 million dollars, it was mentioned that Patterson was prepared to even kill any children if present that might witness the abduction.
