New details from sentence hearing just in, and it's bad news for Alyssa supporters. She enjoyed it. I was hoping she was sorry after she realized this fantasy of hers, but she enjoyed it.
She wrote in her diary: "I just effing killed someone. I strangled them and slit their throats and stabbed them. Now they're dead. I don't know how to feel ATM. It was ahmazing. As soon as you get over the “Oh My Gawd. I can't do this” feeling it's pretty enjoyable. I'm kinda nervous and shaking though right now. Kay, I got to go to church now LOL."
We were deceived by Alyssa's attractive & charismatic exterior, but she has no soul. She's a sociopath, and that can't be cured.

Alyssa Bustamante, the mid-Missouri teenager in jail for two years on charges that she murdered her 9-year-old neighbor because she "wanted to know what it felt like" to kill someone, pleaded guilty yesterday.
The confession came as prosecutors reduced their first-degree murder charge to second-degree murder. Instead of serving a mandatory life term in prison, the now 17-year-old Bustamante could get out in as few as ten years.
As part of her plea, Bustamante told the court yesterday how she killed neighbor Elizabeth Olten back on October 21, 2009. Bustamante told the judge that she "strangled her" (with her hands) and then stabbed the girl in the chest with a knife and slit her throat.
Bustamante then buried the Elizabeth in a grave she dug near her rural Jefferson City neighborhood. Search crews spent two days combing the area in search of Elizabeth before Bustamante led them to the child's grave.
It's unclear exactly why prosecutors decided to drop the first-degree murder charges against Bustamante, though this summer the state was dealt a blow when a judge ruled that it could not use some testimony she made to police during trial because it was obtained through "deceptive tactics."
Bustamante reportedly practiced an "emo" lifestyle that focused on the occult. Following her arrest, photos (like the one above) and videos of the troubled Bustamante went viral online.
