Neighbor who came to Jayme Closs' aid: 'We were armed and ready' for suspect to come looking
GORDON, Wisconsin – When Jayme Closs showed up at their doorstep, the Kasinskas family sprung into action, taking two steps before most anything else. They called 911. And they grabbed their firearms, in case the kidnapped teen's abductor was in pursuit.

Kristin Kasiskas told Fox News that she and her husband immediately recognized the 13-year-old Wisconsin girl whose October kidnapping captivated the nation when a neighbor, Jeanne Nutter, frantically knocked on their door at 4 p.m. on Thursday.

“When our neighbor Jeanne came in with Jayme, she said: ‘Get a gun. We don’t know if he’s after us,’” Kasinskas said. “So we were armed and ready in case this person showed up.”

Good, I'm glad they didn't have to use them although I'd have been fine if they lit him up in their front yard.

I'm still not convinced she's innocent. Hope she is.

Latest info says that he first saw her when she was getting on or off a school bus at her house when he was driving behind it. His admission when questioning apparently. Then he planned to take her.

wait for someone to call for charges against the Kasinskas for brandishing a weapon in the presence of a minor.

wouldn't even be surprised if someone thought it wasn't fair that they were armed if this creepy abductor guy came looking for him.. what if we was unarmed and felt threatened?

I think you're going to be waiting a long time.

I'm now starting to believe him. I was told he apparently had a desire to commit the perfect crime. I can understand that. I can't understand a 21 year old becoming so infatuated with a 13 year old after only seeing her for a few seconds that he'd do all that.

But I realize that I can't rationalize irrational people either.

I'm guessing he was not all there mentally.

I think that was determined the moment he killed someone. I wonder if he had been reported to the FBI at any point prior?

I’m also one that thinks there is more. I’m very curious about his brother. Regardless, I hope he’s dead soon.

I do not believe WI has the death penalty.
