Dad of suspected Jayme Closs kidnapper apologises

The father of Jake Patterson, accused kidnapper, has apologised to Jayme Closs and her family.

The grief-stricken Patrick Patterson delivered a handwritten note expressing sorrow and shame as Jayme's family gathered at Jake's arraignment.

Jayme's cousin, Jodie Arnold, said she knows the Patterson family is shell-shocked too.

"My heart goes out to them because when these things happen, families don't always know," said Arnold.

"I don't hold any hard feelings against them."
