Jake Patterson has been charged with two counts of murder, kidnapping and armed burglary in the abduction of Jayme Closs after confessing to the crimes
The details of Jayme's abduction have emerged in the criminal complaint filed ahead of Patterson's first court appearance in Barron County Circuit Court
Patterson told cops he decided Jayme was 'the girl he was going to take' after seeing her get on a school bus when it stopped in front of him as he went to work
The 21-year-old visited the Closs home several times before carrying out his plan on October 15, according to the filing
Patterson was dressed in all black, including a face mask, hat and gloves, when he 'broke into the Closs home and shot dead Jayme's parents Denise and James'
He taped her hands and ankles together, covered her mouth with tape and dragged her out of her home and put him into his car's trunk, the filing claims
According to Jayme's account, Patterson took her into his cabin, removed the tape and told her to go into the bathroom and remove all her clothes
When friends of relatives visited Patterson 'made it clear that nobody was to know she was there or bad things would happen to her'
Jayme was kept under his twin-sized bed and escaped when he left the cabin and she managed to push the weights that were trapping her under the bed away
Patterson will make his first appearance at Barron County Circuit Court on Monday after being accused of holding Jayme inside a squalid basement 'cell'

Dressed in black from head to toe including a face mask, hat and gloves Patterson grabbed the terrified teenager, taped her hands and ankles together, covered her mouth with tape and dragged her out of her home to his waiting car.
