Jayme Closs is reunited with her family and a suspect is in custody. Barron Mayor Ron Fladten tells WTMJ that the feelings he had when he heard the news were indescribable.
“It’s pretty hard to put into words the emotions that go through you when you’ve been praying about the safe return of a 13-year old girl to your community,” Fladten said.
He says the town is ready to welcome Jayme back with open arms and start celebrating, but he knows that can’t happen quite yet.
“We need to give this girl time to heal and transition back into school and everything,” says Fladten, “It’s going to take time.”
