A man who broke into Jayme Closs’ home and stole her underwear two weeks after she was kidnapped and her parents were murdered was sentenced to two years of probation on Wednesday.
Kyle Jaenke-Annis, 33, of Cameron, Wisconsin, was charged with felony burglary but was convicted of misdemeanor theft in a plea deal in Barron County Circuit Court.
Police arrested him inside the Closs' Barron County home at 2:30 a.m. on October 27, 2018, hours before Jayme's parents James and Denise were buried.
Jaenke-Annis told them he found the door unlocked and walked in to steal Jayme's underwear, tank tops and a dress because he wanted to know 'what size she was' and did not think anyone would miss them.

The teenager was found near the cabin in the isolated town of Gordon by a woman walking her dog.
Neighbors called 911 and Patterson was arrested within minutes.
Patterson was sentenced on May 24 to two life sentences without parole for Jayme's abduction and the murder of her parents James, 56, and Denise, 46.
Patterson, who used a shotgun to kill the couple, was described as 'one of the most dangerous men to walk on this planet,' by presiding judge Justice James Babler at Barron County Circuit Court.
