Olten Suspect Charged With First Degree Murder

COLE COUNTY - 15-year-old Alyssa Bustamante is charged with first degree murder in the death of Elizabeth Olten.

She is accused of killing 9-year-old Elizabeth Olten in October.

The initial public hearing began at 8 a.m. this morning and finished around 10 a.m as Cole County Judge Jon Beetem announced Bustamante would be tried as an adult.

About 30 members of the community were in the court room for the emotional hearing.  Prosecutor Samantha Green fought back tears, as did Olten's family, as she pleaded for the judge to try Bustamante as an adult due both to the severity and viciousness of the crime.

Sgt. David Rice of the Missouri Highway Patrol was the chief investigator on the case, and testified that he interviewed Bustamante on October 23, two days after Olten was reported missing.  Bustamante, a guardian, and a juvenile officer were all present.  She also led authorities to the body.

He also testified that during the Oct. 23 interview, Bustamante said she dug two holes in the woods on October 16, and planned the murder of Olten. 

Sgt. Rice said that when he asked Bustamante why she allegedly killed Olten, she replied that she "wanted to know what it felt like."

Principal Jeff Dodson of Jefferson City High School was the first to testify Wednesday morning. He talked about Bustamante's performance in school as good.  She was in the top third of her class. He said he had casual interactions with Bustamante and found her to be an average student.

Dodson said Bustamante attended school on the day Olten was murdered, and the only unexcused absence she had from school was the day after Olten's death.

Jefferson City Public Schools issued a statement Wednesday saying it had provided law enforcement and courts with documents and information that had been requested.  The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act prohibits school officials from publicly discussing students records.


Green, the prosecutor, rested much of her case to try Bustamante as an adult rested on the lack of proper services in the juvenile system to treat Bustamante, which Judge Beetem upheld in his decision.

Judge Beetem said he was "disappointed with the Division of Youth Services" because it lacks the "adequate facilities, programs, or services that [Bustamante] needs to treat her past her 21st birthday."

Bill Haverly testified on the behalf of the Missouri Division of Youth Services, which provides services for juveniles in trouble with the law.  He said that there are no juvenile secure care for females in the state, only for males.

He testified that if she were to go into juvenile care, she would likely be in a residential care program for eight months, followed by six months in an after-care program. He said the latest she would be released from juvenile care is her 21st birthday, which would put her back in the community in just more than five years.

Green said that with Bustamante's past issues, five years was not enough time for treatment or punishment.

Juvenile officer David Cook testified that Bustamante has received mental health services since September 2007 after she attempted suicide.  She had a ten-day stay in the Mid-Missouri Mental Health Center after the attempt, and has received mental health services from Pathways Community Behavioral Healthcare in Jefferson City since.

Cook said Bustamante takes Prozac for depression and also received services for mood swings and self-harm.  Cook said Bustamante has a history of cutting herself, but said that there were no indications she was homicidal.

Bustamante had been in care of her grandmother, Karen Brooke, since 2001, and Cook said her life at home was normal and structured.  She did chores and earned an allowance, and had no abnormal confrontations with her siblings.

Brett Valentine, Bustamante's juvenile defender, argued that Bustamanate wouldn't survive in the adult Department of Corrections.  There are currently no girls in the Department of Corrections aged 13-15.

I know we have talked about how small Alyssa is, but did we ever determine a weight ratio between Elizabeth and Alyssa??

Just curious b/c of the strangling charge...

Was there much difference in thier heights do we know?

I believe if I remember correctly that Elizabeth was a pretty good size for a 9 yr old. JMO
Thats what i was thinking she may have been able to put up a pretty good fight, unless stabbed first, not really important know i guess just was curious, so very sad especially since she did nothing to warrant or bring this on 

My guess is that Elizabeth may have been unexpectedly strangled first with her own pink scarf......

The monster





















Yikes!!!! She is one disturbed teenager. What on earth makes someone like this? I mean did something happen to her or was she always like this? Was she one of those little kids that picked wings off of flies and set cats on fire? I will admit, I didn't follow through with this case because it disturbs me, this girl is young, only 15 years old.

What a brutal death Elizabeth experienced, I am so sorry for her pain and for the pain of all those close to this case has been forced to endure.

Judge ordered a plea of not guilty on her behalf as Kurt Valentine did NOT return.

Not-guilty plea for 15-year-old in Mo. slaying of 9-year-old

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — A judge has entered a not-guilty plea on behalf of a 15-year-old-girl charged as an adult in the strangulation and stabbing death of 9-year-old Elizabeth Olten.

Alyssa Bustamante appeared briefly before a Cole County judge today, just hours after she had been certified to stand trial as an adult in the Oct. 21 slaying.

Bustamante is charged with first-degree murder and armed criminal action and could face life in prison without parole if convicted.

She sat shackled with her hands at her waist, expressionless except for a hard swallow as the judge read the charges to her.

Earlier Wednesday, a police officer testified that Bustamante had confessed to killing Elizabeth because she wanted to know what it felt like to kill someone.
