A Tweet a few weeks before the murder read "This is all I want in life a reason for all this pain".

Her YouTube account featured several videos of her and her brothers, mostly just engaging in horseplay or mimicking ''Jackass'' stunts, but one in particular was disturbing, ''Idiots Getting Electrocuted by ~~Elecrtric~~ Fence.'' In it, Bustamante and her two younger brothers are standing in front of an electric fence. She gives the camera a grin and grabs the fence as she grimaces. Well aware of the pain it causes, she nonetheless convinces her younger twin brothers, 9, to do the same. The screen reads "this is where it gets good this is where we see my brothers get hurt".

When Elizabeth Olten left to go home, she'd been playing with Alyssa Bustamante's half sister, who lived a few doors down. The six year old and the nine year old pals hung out, and then, when Olten started her journey home, she was allegedly diverted by Bustamante who called Olten on her cell phone, and redirected her back to Bustamante's house.

Allegedly, Bustamante had then led Olten into the woods. Olten, who was afraid of the dark, would have trusted the older teen.~~they~~ played together and were friends. But, Olten couldn't have anticipated that she would be brutally killed slashed on the neck and arms and then fatally stabbed.

The young girl's body was found in a grave Bustamante admitted to digging two graves a week before the murders, giving rise to speculation that her twin brothers were the original intended victims. But a detail from the press conference gave people further pause. When Cole ~~Country~~ prosecutor Mark Richardson was asked why there were two graves, and whether one or both graves had been used for Elizabeth, he said only No, I can't tell you that right now.

Jennifer Meyer went on KMOV in St. Louis. "I was at her party, and she kind of just took me off to the side randomly and she's like, 'You know, I wonder what it would be like to kill somebody', because I guess she was mad at one of her friends there, but it just seemed kind of strange," Meyer said. "But you wouldn't logically think one of your friends would kill somebody."
