This case is interesting as this is a latest criminal case in Missouri. The victim is a nine-year old girl. She was walking to her home from a friend's house one time. She suddenly disappeared for days and several people volunteered to search for her but to no avail. Later on, her body was found in the nearby woods in a shallow grave.
And what is uncommon about this crime? The suspect is a fifteen-year old female neighbor of Elizabeth Olten. In other words, both the victim and the suspect are females and are minors. Her name is Alyssa Bustamante. The judge hearing the case changed the venue of the hearing outside Cole County. Besides, the suspect was tried as an adult due to the gravity of the offense. She was charged with first-degree murder and armed criminal action charges for the death of Elizabeth Olten.
People had been clamoring for justice due to Elizabeth Olten. Some were thinking on the motives of the suspect. More often than not, we hear murder cases as done by males minor or not. But this time, the suspect is a female who is a minor. Is it not surprising and unusual? What happened to the society nowadays? Criminal justice lawyers must be aware of this new trend of committing crimes. With that, it would be easy to prevent what had happened to Elizabeth Olten.
