Jennie-O Puts Up Tree for Missing Wisconsin Girl

Willmar, MN (Learfield News Service) - A 35-foot-tall tree was lit in the courtyard of Jennie-O/Turkey Store headquarters in Willmar Thursday for a missing 13-year-old girl from Barron, Wisconsin.

Jayme Closs hasn't been seen since her parents, Jim and Denise Closs, were found murdered in their home October 15th.

Both were long-time Jennie-O employees, and company CEO Steve Lykken says with the encouragement of parent company Hormel CEO Jim Snee, they decided to dedicate the tree in Willmar to Jayme, showing unity with Barron Wisconsin, and hopefully drawing attention to Jayme's case.
