13-Year-Old Girl Missing and ‘Endangered’ After Parents Found Dead

Authorities in Wisconsin are asking for the public’s help after a 13-year-old girl went missing Monday and her parents were found dead in the family’s home. Barron County Sheriff Chris Fitzgerald told reporters that deputies went to the family’s home after an unknown person called 911 at around 1 a.m. Monday and a cry for help was heard in the background. Responding deputies found the bodies of 56-year-old James Closs and 46-year-old Denise Closs at the scene. While Fitzgerald stopped short of giving a cause of death, he described the home as a “gunshot crime scene.” The teenage girl, Jayme Closs, is considered “missing and endangered,” he said, adding that investigators have no leads or suspects and are struggling with “a lot of unknowns.” “We just know we have a violent crime scene and we don’t have our missing 13-year-old girl,” he said.
