So that would rule out a mental disability, if s/he were able to premeditate and execute this so thoroughly.
If they are charged as a juvie, then they get out when they are 21. What if a juvie is tried as an adult? Missouri has the death penalty. Obviously I'm not a lawyer. :waitasec:
So maybe some psychopath young girl wrote about her evil thoughts and someone turned those over to LE?
Maybe Elizabeth was just in the wrong place at the wrong time?
This person fantasized about killing someone - thought it out - but maybe she did not have a specific target?
If this turns out to be the case - a young girl killer - have you all ever heard of anything like it?
Not me - that I can recall right now anyway.
This will not be a secret come Monday (back to school)! Every parent will want to know in that district as well. ( I know I would be all over this) IMO
There is this case from 1992 but not sure it would fall in the same psych category as "fantasized about killing someone".

What an awful week it has been........there is relief that both Somer and Elizabeth have been found but so much sorrow is heartnumbing.
Thank you to the locals for your input.....
Wow - I had not heard of that case - and I almost wish I had never heard of it now.
Horrible, just horrible.
It does go to show what girls are capable of though - evil.
My apologies, mommya, I have added a warning to post for others unfamiliar with the name Shanda Sharar.
Well, I have to say that all this secrecy leads me to believe that the perp probably IS a girl. (JMO, of course) Do we know anything about the friend she was visiting? Does she have an older brother or sister? I was struck by the comment by LE basically saying they weren't going to comment on whether she was attacked on the way home. I sure wish we had more info. I'd like to see if this kid had a Myspace or Facebook account. I'd like to get a feeling of what this kid was like.
Edit: Do we know the address of the house that she was visiting?
