“He stole my parents from me. He stole almost everything I loved from me. For 88 days he tried to steal me away and he didn't care who he hurt or killed to do it. He should remain behind bars forever,” her lawyer Chris Gramstrup read Jamie Closs’s words in court.

21-year-old Patterson kidnapped Jamie 15 of October and shot his parents, James Xloom, and his 56-year-old wife Denise with a gun. Then Patterson took Jamie to the small town of Gordon, where he kept her in a small room for 46 months.

The girl lived under the bed, which Patterson barricaded with storage boxes and other things.

In March, Patterson pleaded guilty to two counts of premeditated murder and one kidnapping.

“He can't take away my freedom. He thought he could have me, but he was wrong. I was smarter. I watched his routine and took away my freedom. I will always have freedom, but he won’t,” says the girl.

During the trial, three aunts, two uncles, and cousin Jamie made emotional statements, urging the judge to give Patterson a life sentence.

The teen's aunt, Jennifer Smith, said that she still had nightmares because of the murder of her sister and son-in-law.

“She doesn't have the normal life that a 13-year-old is supposed to have. Now we live in fear every day and turn around and don’t feel safe,” Smith said in court.

Lindsey Smith, Jamie’s cousin, said she still cannot get rid of the terrible memory of how her teenage mother died when she saw that her daughter had been kidnapped.

“No one should have to leave this earth in such a terrible way,” Smith told the court.

Jamie managed to escape Patterson on January 10, 88 days after the abduction.

When Patterson was stopped by the police, he immediately surrendered. He told the officers who arrested him: “I know what this is about. I did it."

The defense attorney, Charles Glynn, said that his client was truly regretful, and showed that by pleading guilty to all charges and refusing a trial, he saved millions of dollars and countless hours of potential witnesses for taxpayers.

“Mr. Patterson knows and has accepted that he will die in prison. And he didn’t ask us to argue about anything else,” Glynn said.

The killer wrote a letter to the NBC KARE affiliate, in which he informed the reporter that he was cooperating with the police in order to save Jamie from further interrogations.

Patterson admitted that he carefully planned his crime by wearing black clothes, putting stolen license plates on his car and making sure he did not leave fingerprints on the shotgun with which he killed Jamie’s parents.

Jamie told investigators that she woke up early October 15 in the morning, because the family's dog was barking.

When James Kloss went to investigate the car that had turned onto the driveway, Jamie and her mom hid in the bathroom. James Kloss was killed a few moments later by a shotgun.

According to the teenager, Patterson found Jamie and her mother and sealed the girl’s mouth and tied his hands behind his back before shooting Denise Closs.

Friday's verdict, Aunt James and sister of James Kloss, Kelly Engelhardt, said that Sundays will never be the same. According to her, James Closs was an avid fan of the Green Bay Packers, and the family had a good time together.

“None of us won today. None of us are going to get our family members back,” James Closs’s sister Kelly Engelhardt said in court.
