Details on the deaths of a northern Wisconsin couple whose daughter remains missing are expected to be made available on Wednesday. The Barron County Sheriff’s office released new photos of 13-year-old Jayme Closs, who has been missing since deputies responding to an early Monday 911 call found her parents dead in the family’s Barron area home.
At a Tuesday afternoon news conference, Sheriff Chris Fitzgerald admitted that investigators had little new information to offer. “I’m struggling with this, because I don’t have those answers that I want to give you, that I want to give the family.”
