CNN)Jayme Closs escaped from the remote Wisconsin residence of her captor -- a man now arrested on suspicion of killing the teen's parents and abducting her three months ago -- and then flagged down a woman who was walking her dog, authorities say.
In a case that inspired numerous searches and thousands of public tips, it was 13-year-old Jayme who helped herself to freedom Thursday afternoon.
"In cases like this we often need a big break, and it was Jayme herself who gave us that break," FBI Special Agent Justin Tolomeo told reporters Friday during a news conference in Jayme's Wisconsin hometown of Barron.
Jayme, who was reported missing October 15 after her parents were found shot dead in their home near Barron, was discovered walking alone Thursday afternoon two counties to the north, outside the town of Gordon, authorities said.
