A Case Almost Too Disturbing To Mention_ Elizabeth Olten

from Coffeehouse Crime · host Coffeehouse Crime

On October 21, 2009, a 15-year-old girl lured her 9-year-old neighbor into the woods and killed her—simply to know what it felt like [citation:2]. The killer, Alyssa Bustamante, had dug the grave days earlier "for fun" [citation:9]. A journal entry written that same day read: "I just fucking killed someone... It was ahmazing" [citation:2]. Elizabeth Olten's body was found with her throat cut, her death from strangulation and stabbing [citation:11]. The killer attended a church dance that night as police searched [citation:9]. A chilling case that changed Missouri law forever [citation:3].
