Jayme Closs, 13-Year-Old Girl From Barron County, Wisconsin, Missing, Parents Found Dead

An Amber Alert was issued for a 13-year-old girl authorities believe was in danger after her parents were found dead in their western Wisconsin home Monday, the sheriff’s office said. Jayme Closs was reported missing after deputies discovered her parents' bodies inside their home.

“When deputies arrived on scene they found two deceased adults. A 13-year-old female is missing from the residence and is considered missing and endangered,” the sheriff’s office wrote in a Facebook post along with a photo of Jayme.

"At the end of the day, I want a 13-year-old here safe and sound. That's our goal. That's our only goal right now," Fitzgerald later said at a news briefing. Authorities added the girl was not considered a suspect in her parents' deaths.

Investigators urged the public to come forward with any information on the teenager’s whereabouts. Jayme was described as being 5 feet tall, 100 pounds with green eyes and blond or strawberry blond hair.

Deputies went to the home on Highway 8, located west of Barron, after dispatchers received a 911 call from an unknown person at around 1 a.m. EDT on Monday, Barron County Sheriff Chris Fitzgerald said. He said there had been gunshots, but did not reveal if the couple died due to shooting. Fitzgerald added it was not known who made the call.

Deputies searched the area around the family's home with drones and infrared equipment, but did not find any clues regarding the girl's whereabouts. They have enlisted the help of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and the FBI in the case.

Investigators were yet to identify a suspect in the disappearance of the 13-year-old girl.
