Alyssa Bustamante was 15 when she murdered Elizabeth Olten, 9, for kicks
ALYSSA Bustamante, then 15, murdered a nine-year-old neighbour in the Missouri town of St Martins. Alyssa Bustamante stabbed and slit Elizabeth Olten’s throat.
Olten had been invited over to play with her killer’s younger sister.
Bustamante stabbed Olten eight times in the chest. Forensics says Bustamante may have tortured her victim.
After killing her sister’s friend, Bustamante noted in her journal that it was “ahmazing”. She said it had ben a “pretty enjoyable” experience. Alyssa Bustamante then went to a do at her church.
Alyssa Bustamante said she murdered Elizabeth Olten, because she “wanted to know what it felt like”.
As she wrote:
“I just f*** killed someone. I strangled them and slit their throat and stabbed them now they’re dead. I don’t know how to feel atm…I’m kinda nervous and shaky though right now. Kay, I gotta go to church now…lol.”
In a Missouri court, Bustamante, now 18, is the subject of a debate whether she should get a life sentence.
Bustamante has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and armed criminal action.
Has she planned to murder?
Yes.
In late 2009, Bustamante had dug two holes in the woods. A few days later she murdered Olten.
In mitigation – is there anything? Bustamante’s father is in prison. He reveals a family riven by drugs depression and suicide attempts. Bustamante’s mother abandoned her. The killer lives with her grandmother.
Bustmante wanted to talk. She wrote:
“If I don’t talk about it, I bottle it up, and when I explode someone’s going to die.”
So. Does she spend her life in prison?
