According to police, Kyle Jaenke-Annis, 32, arrived to the Closs home around 2:30 a.m. and entered through a patio door. Officers were alerted to Jaenke-Annis’ whereabouts by motion-activated cameras that had been set up on the property after the murder of James and Denise Closs and the disappearance of their 13-year-old daughter, Jayme.
When authorities arrived, they ordered Jaenke-Annis out of the home and subsequently recovered several items he had taken from the home. The items included two tank tops, a dress and underwear. When asked why he had stolen these specific items, Jaenke-Annis said he believed these were items that “people wouldn’t miss” and he was “curious what size Jayme was.”
