Floyd Lunde changes the sign outside of Barron's First Baptist Church Friday in honor of Jayme Closs, who was found alive Thursday. "I have to be honest. I wasn't expecting this result, and I wish I would have had more faith, but I'm incredibly pleased," the pastor said.

Authorities have arrested a 21-year-old man in the October slaying of a Wisconsin couple and kidnapping of their teen daughter, Jayme Closs, who was found alive Thursday.
Jayme 13, was found after flagging down a woman walking her dog in a small town about an hour north of her hometown of Barron, Wis.
Sheriff Chris Fitzgerald told reporters Friday that the suspect, Jake Thomas Patterson, 21, a Gordon, Wis., man, took Jayme against her will.
The Barron County district attorney said he expects to file charges next week.
