A Minnesota-based company that offered a reward for the whereabouts of Jayme Closs, a 13-year-old who was abducted in October, announced that it will give her the money after she freed herself.

"Our hope is that a trust fund can be used for Jayme's needs today and in the future," Jennie-O Turkey Store president Steve Lykken said in a statement released Wednesday. "Her bravery and strength have truly inspired our team members around the world," said Jim Snee, president and CEO of parent company Hormel Foods.

Jayme emerged thin and dirty, some 60 miles north of her home in Barron County, northwestern Wisconsin. Her parents, James and Denise Closs, were shot dead before Jayme was dragged out of the house by her alleged abductor, Jake Patterson.

As NPR's Daniella Cheslow reported:

"For more than two months, Jayme told police, she lived in hiding in her assailant's house, forced to lie under his bed and go as long as 12 hours without food, drink or a bathroom."

Patterson even had a Christmas party while the teenager was held captive, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. He reportedly threatened to kill her if she made a noise or tried to flee, and played music in the room so that other people in the house wouldn't hear any sounds.

But one day when Patterson wasn't home, Jayme was able to crawl out from the space under the bed where he was said to have trapped her behind weighted bins.

Not only did she rescue herself, she also helped law enforcement track Patterson down minutes after her escape.
