Case Number 59: Alyssa Bustamante, The Teenage Thrill Killer

*WARNING: This case includes extra sensitive material including a child victim*

Alyssa Bustamante was just like any other teenage girl in 2009 that had endured some trauma in her early childhood, or so her family thought. They sought help for her as they knew she struggled with depression, but they had no idea the heinous thoughts running through her head. Unfortunately, they wouldn't find out the truth until 9 year old, Elizabeth Olten, went missing and all evidence pointed to Alyssa.

Tune in as Savannah walks us through Elizabeth's tragic death and how the one individual tasked with protecting Alyssa's rights failed miserably. Meanwhile, Elysia questions how people could be cousins by marriage and whether Alyssa was on the proper medication.
