Teenager Kills 9 Year Old Neighbor To See What It Felt Like

Alyssa Bustamante, a 15-year old girl that is accused of the murder of a 9-year old girl has been indicted and will be tried as an adult. In a shocking crime beat tale that leaves even veteran investigators saddened and stunned, Bustamante allegedly plotted out the killing, then strangled, stabbed and cut the throat of her young neighbor Elizabeth Olten.

Police are contending this was very calculated, and that Bustamante dug a hole to be used as a grave “one week prior to the killing,” to make sure she could hide the little girl’s body. Why did she do it? “Ultimately, she stated she wanted to know what it felt like,” Missouri State Highway Patrol Sgt. David Rice testified Wednesday during a court hearing over the slaying.
The indictment came after the judge in the case ruled that Bustamante will stand trial as an adult. She is being held without bond in the Cole County jail.


The judge entered a “not guilty plea on behalf of Bustamante who sat speechless and shackled in the court room,” reports The Examiner.

I was reading some of the comments below and actually quite disgusting by what I was reading. There was actually a person trying to defend this action! Claiming the girl was neglected by her parents, yet she lived with her grandparents. There are many people in this world that were neglected by their parents but they never murdered somebody! What a pathetic excuse. Please discuss.
 
Pretty crazy stuff. I mean shes only 15 and the girl is only 9. How sad that she had to go for someone so young. I dunno, i dont really find the story all that shocking though. With all the stories on the news now about murder, gangrape etc nothing really takes me by surprise. Sad world.
 
Sick.

And what was her statement, "to know how it felt like"? I don't even know what to say anymore. Maybe she's simply lost her mind. It's bad enough to kill someone for revenge, jealousy, money and so on. But it's just inconceivable to kill someone just for kicks.
 
I saw this a while back. My guess is that she's sociopathic, and that this wasn't the first time she's killed something to "see what it felt like."

As far as the commentors, that's one of the downfalls of allowing readers to comment on articles. Every nutjob with a computer can spout off.

Sincerely,
A Nutjob
 
That's just sad. The murderer's mind must be twisted- and I hope that something like that never happens again in the world.
 
Dear God, not the sort of thing you want to read about. I cannot believe someone tried to defend this murdering cow. She took a child life and Im glad she is being tired as an adult, what she did was unforgiveable.

I live my grandparents, but Im not plotting to murder people!! Its ridic, I hate people using stuff like that as a scapegoat. Hope the little evil bitch gets whats she deserves and that poor little girl rests in peace.
 
Heard about this on another forum. Was too disgusted to post.

I can't believe she'd just go and kill that poor little girl like that just to how it felt. Was a sicko.

Good thing she's being charged as an adult. She's defiantly got some mental problem. and will most likely get life... >.>
 
No matter what case comes up, excuses will always be made. A simple fact for you there, everyone.

This is truly sickening. I hear about crimes such as these every once in a while and it makes me wonder why the hell these people even exist. I'm glad she's getting tried in as an adult. In fact, every single teenager that commits such appalling crimes should be tried as an adult, too! No use making up excuses for them. What's done is done.

I feel awfully terrible for the family, who've lost their little girl. They won't be able to look at their neighbour in the same way ever again.
 
That was utterly painful to read- some comments on that webpage didn't help either. Aside from the clueless individual defending the girl and scapegoating it on neglecting family, one even said she is "hot". Is that the most profound contribution anyone can bring to a horrifying case like this- she is "hot"? No words of sympathy to the murdered girl and her family or anything? This is truly something I hate about some juvenile internet users.

It's sad to think that murderers can be so young. The magnitude of this crime is just horrific. Such a terrible act of murder caused on a young neighbour because the perpetrator wanted to know "what it felt like". Her mind is completely warped if she believed there is anything justifiable about such a horrendous action just to see what it is like.

I'm glad she is being tried as an adult- that way, she may face actual punishment. It is ironic though because she is far from anything I would call "adult".
 
It's good to see that people still believe in biblical style punishment in America. The people clamouring for her to be hung are just as bad. They completely ignore the fact that the murderer could be a victim too so that they can just call her evil and sick etc etc and get on with their moral outrage.
She was obviously neglected, who lets their 15 year old granddaughter dig a grave in the garden without asking her what's wrong. And as Cassino Chips points out, it's unlikey this is the first time that she's killed something and no one took any notice. As Lewis points out, things like this happen all the time, it's just so completely ludicrous actually caring because one white girl kills another when in places like Iraq, hundreds of people get killed at a time and no one cares.
 
That is psychologically disturbing considering that a 15 year old girl wanted to know what MURDER felt like. She obviously got this idea from someone or something.
 
Shit like this is the reason why they started allowing minors to be tried as adults. Wasn't that first lifted with the case of some boy performing wrestling moves on his little next door neighbor up to and even after her death?

Seriously sick shit.

I'm sorry Hal, but you don't know what the fuck you're even talking about. For one, the girl had a seriously disturbing YouTube account. You can Google this chick's name and find a shitload of stuff about her. As well as a person who took all her videos and posted them up on YouTube because she was just that fucked in the head. There were pictures from her Facebook of her holding a knife towards her friend's stomach mock-stabbing her. Images of her with fucked up makeup on, scars all over herself from cutting and holding fingers to her head like she was gonna blow her head off.

For two, her mom had a substance abuse problem and her dad was in jail. Boo-fucking-hoo. I've seen kids go through worse with their parents and that doesn't justify them murdering anybody, nor do they even attempt to TRY and murder anybody. Besides that, how do you know all those comments made were from Americans? Considering the word neighbor is spelled "Neighbour" in that article, I'd say it wasn't American, wouldn't you? It's the fact that this girl is a 15 year old killing a small child only 9 years old. This kid is only 3 years older than my son. There's a huge difference between killing an innocent young girl and killing terrorists in Iraq.
 
In all reality Mr. Xenu, I don't see why you had to bring up America at all. The whole "my country is better than your country" crap gets sort of old. :mokken:

The fact of the matter here is that someone murdered someone and is obviously trying to play the innocent/insanity card. It's all a bunch of nonsense if you ask me. Lock her up, end of story. No need to a trial, it's all just a pack of lies.

All of this would lead me to believe that there's something psychologically wrong with her. As in a medical condition. And since she's 15, I think trying her as an adult is not the best course of action.

Actually, I take that back. Whether she's tried as an adult or not is irrelevant. The important thing is that she spends her sentence in a mental health facility, even if she's there for the rest of her life.

I think that was Hal's point, though, if I can be so bold as to speak for him. In the U.S. we're too quick to revert to the 'eye for an eye' mantra, and that's rarely the best course of action. You can't just take it at its face value and say "Oh, she killed a little kid, she needs to be executed." It's not that simple. Yes, what she did was heinous. Yes, she deserves to be put away for it. But to ignore the mitigating circumstances that put her into the mentality she had is short-sighted.

I think it's important to remember there is a fine line between living in unfortunate circumstances (thank goodness I don't have to) and being psychotic.

I read about a serial killer who had an overly strict family who used to neglect him. It was almost like a boot camp and he never received the proper nurture from his parents.
Once his family split up he got into crime and his childhood went on to influence his murders. In particular the boot camp style way of life.

Sure, people will have lived in a similar way, but who are we to say that everyone will react in similar fashion? Can we really say that everyone will pull through with their sanity intact?

I don't think anyone is trying to make excuses as such (and neither am I), or scapegoat the neglect at childhood as one user put it. It's just that we need to take into account the circumstances surrounding the situation, and punish the girl accordingly. (IMO)
 
This makes me ashamed to be a 15 year old girl. Who would claim her parents neglected her? So, if my parents decide to neglect me... I can go murder people?

Seriously, this is sick. I say she should be tried as an adult and put in prison or whatever they call it for kids.

Period. No excuses. A crime is a crime
 
Fortunately, she will almost certainly be put in prison or a mental institution (the latter arguably the worst). It's very unlikely that she can claim insanity unless there's strong medical proof that she does have a disease of the mind. At the end of the day, regardless of peoples' views, she's murdered an innocent child and needs to be taken out of society, being neglected should have no bearing on the outcome, there are plenty of children who have been neglected but don't resort to murder.

That's the thing though isn't it? Whenever something awful like this happens, there's always someone pointing to their blog or their myspace site or whatever, saying "I always knew there was something off about her". Yet there are probably millions of teenagers out there with "weird" blogs or youtube accounts who are never going to murder anyone.

As far as the 15 year old's upbringing goes, I don't think anyone can rule out that it atleast had a part in what she ended up doing. It doesn't justify what she did (and I don't think anyone here would ever claim that), but it does atleast somewhat explain it. Of course upbringing isn't everything and she does, when it comes down to it, bear the sole responsibility for her actions.
 
Kind of reminds me of the Sasebo Slashing

i have read some fucked up things this year like this, though the only one i can remember one of them about two young boys nine and eleven by other boys aged ten and eleven being tourtured(and proper fucked up torture seriously it made me feel sick after reading it)
