Jessica Ridgeway’s Mother: Killer’s Name To Be Forgotten
November 18, 2013 7:55 PM

GOLDEN, Colo. (AP) – The mother of a 10-year-old Colorado girl whose death and dismemberment terrified a community said Monday the killer doesn’t deserve to know how the girl’s death affected her, and his name soon will be forgotten.

Sarah Ridgeway made her brief comments during a two-day sentencing hearing for 18-year-old Austin Sigg, who has pleaded guilty to kidnapping and killing Jessica Ridgeway.

Jessica was walking to school Oct. 5, 2012, when she was abducted in the suburbs west of Denver. Her death galvanized and terrified a community that spent days searching for her.

“I don’t think that the defendant has a right to hear how he’s affected me,” Sarah Ridgeway said in court. “… Once we walk out of this courtroom, we will no longer remember his name, only the legacy Jessica left behind.”

Sigg faces a possible life term when he’s sentenced Tuesday. He can’t be executed because he was 17 at the time of Jessica’s death.

Monday’s hearing was at times emotional and included a slideshow of Jessica set to music. The fifth-grader was a member of a pewee cheerleading squad who was looking forward to being a zombie lifeguard for Halloween.

During the slideshow, Sigg’s attorney comforted him by rubbing his back. Sigg wiped away tears with a tissue before being let out of court.

Earlier in the day, a psychologist hired by prosecutors told the judge that Sigg was “sadistic” and that he planned his attack.

“He certainly had no empathy for Jessica Ridgeway,” said Anna Salter of Madison, Wis., who studies sex offenders. She reviewed police interviews with Sigg but didn’t speak to him herself. She cited gruesome interviews from police interviews.

Salter also said Sigg did Internet searches on torture, rape and child pornography.

 

“I can’t imagine the damage that’s been done to his mother,” said Angie Moss, Jessica’s grandmother, while Sigg’s mother cried in court.

Jessica Ridgeway's killer Austin Sigg sentenced to life in prison
12:43 PM, Nov 19, 2013



JEFFERSON COUNTY - A teenager who killed and dismembered a 10-year-old Westminster girl was sentenced on Tuesday to life in prison plus 86 years for all of the charges he faced.

RECENT JESSICA RIDGEWAY STORIES

Austin Sigg's life in prison sentence was for the murder of 10-year-old Jessica Ridgeway. Sigg was also sentenced for his kidnapping, sexual assault and sexual exploitation charges. Sigg was also sentenced to 48 years for kidnapping. As for parole, it would be more than 100 years before Sigg would be technically eligible for it, which means he will die behind bars. According to the district attorney, Sigg was sentenced to life in prison plus 86 years.
 

After the sentencing was read, the judge kept emphasizing that he could not understand how this crime was committed. He used Sigg's own words against him saying "I'm a monster for what I've done." Then, the judge ordered that Sigg be taken back to prison for the "rest of his natural life."

KUSA - The man convicted of killing Jessica Ridgeway was moved out of state for safety concerns, according to the Colorado Department of Corrections.

Austin Sigg was moved from a DOC short-term facility in Colorado to an unknown out-of-state location. The DOC did not say if there was a threat against Sigg.

Sigg and his family's privacy was another concern that prompted the move, the DOC told Crime and Justice Reporter Anatasiya Bolton.

#RememberingJessica

As you may know this weekend is father's day. Jessica didn't get much time with her father because he lived in another state, but the times she did get to see him she always was full of smiles. In this picture you can see Jessica and her father Jeremy on a hike in Boulder, Colorado.
