MURDERER-KIDNAPPER LIVED IN RAMSHACKLE CABIN

Patterson held Jayme for 88 days in the Wisconsin cabin in squalid conditions, forcing her to hide under his bed if he had visitors.

He would stack laundry bins and barbell weights around the bed so she couldn't move. The young girl would often go for more than 12 hours without food, water or bathroom breaks.

Jayme later told the police that Patterson would force her to hide under his bed when he had visitors

"PATTERSON'S RETREAT"

When Jayme managed to escape, she identified her kidnapper and Police tracked him down to his home. A sign on his front door reads “Patterson’s Retreat” and another bids visitors “Welcome.” Patterson, 21, lived alone in the cabin.

PATTERSON'S HOME IN DISREPAIR

The inside of the cabin itself is in disrepair, with the ceiling insulation visible. The floor is patched with a tatty green rug and linoleum and piles of dirty dishes fill the kitchen sink.

Jayme later told the police that Patterson would force her to hide under his bed when he had visitors and pile laundry baskets and barbells around her to prevent her from moving.
