Police describe him as a monster — a young Wisconsin man so fixated on a hazel-eyed, 13-year-old girl, that he allegedly shot her parents dead in their home and stole her away, keeping her captive in a wooded cabin for 88 days until her escape. But by all accounts, Jake Thomas Patterson, the accused abductor-murderer in the Jayme Closs case, was an average, even boring, young man. The bespectacled 21-year…
