High school killers murdered friend to 'create real-life version of horror movie Scream'
Idaho teenagers Brian Draper and Torey Adamcik plotted the murder of 16-year-old Cassie Jo Stoddart while she was house-sitting for her relatives because they wanted to recreate the movie 'Scream'
It was the evening of September 22, 2006, when Cassie Jo Stoddart was house-sitting for her aunt and uncle just a few miles from home in Idaho and her life was cut short at the age of 16.
That night, Stoddart invited her boyfriend, Matt Beckham and his friends Torey Adamcik and Brian Draper to join her at the house.
But unknown to anyone, Torey and Brian were keeping a “death list” that contained the names of several of their friends and classmates - which included Cassie.
Reports say the two boys spent about two hours at the house before leaving - but not before Draper had made sure to unlock the basement door so that he and Adamcik could sneak back in later that evening.
When they returned, they parked down the street, put on dark clothing, gloves, and masks before sneaking back in as Beckham and Stoddart watched TV in the living room.
In an effort to lure the couple out of the living room they began to make loud noises “to scare them.”
But when that didn’t work, the pair located the circuit breaker and turned off all the power in the house.
This frightened Cassie Jo Stoddart, whose boyfriend consequently called his mother, hoping to get permission to spend the night so Stoddart could be at ease.
But Beckham’s mother refused and offered, instead, to have Stoddart spend the night at the Beckham house.
However, Stoddart declined, saying she needed to be there for the pets and the home left in her car in a decision that would soon prove fatal.
Beckham’s mother picked him up at around 10.30pm, leaving Cassie Jo at the house alone.
For a second time, the boys threw the circuit breaker and waited but when she didn’t come back to turn the lights on, the killers went upstairs. One was armed with a dagger-style weapon and the other was armed with a hunting knife.
Draper opened and slammed a closet door hoping to scare the 16-year-old girl, who was asleep on the couch. When this attempt failed, they attacked.
According to forensic pathologist Dr. Charles Garrison, the boys had stabbed her approximately 30 times, 12 of which were fatal wounds that struck the right ventricle of her heart.
She was left to bleed to death.
Her body wasn’t recovered until two days later.
Torey Adamcik was interrogated that same day, and he initially told detectives that he and Draper had gone to the house at approximately 8:30 p.m. to attend a party but left when there was no party.
However, the pair ere later caught trying to dispose of evidence in the Black Rock Canyon area - including a tape, on which Draper was heard saying.: “We just left her house. This is not a fucking joke. I stabbed her in the throat, and I saw her lifeless body.”
Draper also claimed the pair were inspired by the horror film Scream, in which several teenagers are killed by a mutual friend.
On April 17, 2007, Brian Draper was found guilty of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder.
Torey Adamcik’s was convicted of the same charges on June 8, 2007.
