Closs Copycat Killer!

New massacre mimics kidnapper who butchered Jayme's family

IN A tragic copycat case, a Wisconsin psycho who killed four people was imitating last year’s violent abduction of teenager Jayme Closs, whose parents were murdered.

Ritchie German — described by police as a “troubled individual” and unemployed loner with no friends — callously shot his mother, brother, and nephew.

Then the cold-blooded fiend blasted his way into another home where the lovesick freak gunned down 24-year old Laile Vang and shot her parents before killing himself on July 28.

German, 34, may have been trying to kidnap Laile in a twisted mirror of what monster Jake Patterson did with Jayme, says Chippewa County Sheriff Jim Kowalczyk.
