In October of 2009 Alyssa Bustamante stabbed her 9-year-old neighbor in the chest, strangled her, sliced her throat and left her in a shallow grave covered with leaves so she could find out what it felt like to kill.
“I just f***ing killed someone. I strangled them and slit their throat and stabbed them now they’re dead. I don’t know how to feel atm” Bustamante wrote in her diary.
She later added: "It was ahmazing. As soon as you get over the ‘ohmygawd I can’t do this’ feeling, it’s pretty enjoyable. I’m kinda nervous and shaky though right now. Kay, I gotta go to church now…lol."
Alyssa Bustamante has been sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole.
