Police have praised the bravery of Jayme Closs, a 13-year-old girl who was held captive for 88 days, saying it was her "will" that broke the case.

It came as photographs emerged of the rural house in Wisconsin where she was held prisoner.

Her alleged kidnapper, Jake Patterson, 21, was expected to be charged today [MON]. He is alleged to have broken into her home in Barron, Wisconsin, before murdering her parents and abducting her.

After escaping last week Jayme was found, skinny and disheveled, about 60 miles away.

Sheriff Chris Fitzgerald, who led the investigation, said: "The will of a 13-year-old girl is what broke this case. We've actually been able to bring her home to Barron County. That's been the goal of mine for 88 days. And we got to bring her home."

Giving further details of the investigation, he said the 911 call made at the time of the murder and kidnapping was 48 seconds long.
