When she confirmed her throat was slit.… and *the gasp of total shock* her grandmother let out was just gut wrenching to hear! 😢
"Don't feel sorry for me, feel sorry for my daughter." I felt that one.
That was a line made from self reflection, loss and pain.
The grandmother breaking down when she realized the girl she'd tried so hard to love and raise right had kidnapped and murdered a little girl was beyond heartbreaking.
Says the person attempting to virtue signal whilst flying the flag of a mass murdering terrorist state
That grandmother has to bear some responsibility here too. Just look at that room. This woman never walked in there once? Never saw the shit written on the walls- in blood?? Fuck that.
That's the problem. Grandmother should have focused on her own life.
Yea,she killed her but hoo created thr killer?!Her parents were a mess and they should be punish too.Their action created a deranged girl.Punish them too so that other "parents" will thing twice b4 misstreat their children.
Heartbreaking to see how dumb she was NOT TO SEE THE PSYCO IN THE HOUSE.
The fact that she used her 6 year old sister to knock on the door shows that this was pre-meditated down to skirting the blame.
Oh yeah, she kept diaries, only some parts were ever made public and they actually used pencil scratchings to be able to read some that she destroyed. Pure freaking evil.
And not even giving a crap about the guilt and trauma her own sister will experience now too 😪
In another retelling of this case, it had been alleged that she did this because she felt like killing someone.
@@BeckBeckGo That was mentioned several times in this video.
She even dug up a hole days in advance (the same hole she buried the girl in)
I’ll never forget watching the interview with the grandmother in the interview room listening to what her granddaughter had done to Elizabeth. Her screaming as the details came out was bone chilling to listen to. RIP Elizabeth precious baby girl 💜🙏🏻💔
Ήταν να λιποθυμήσει με αυτό που άκουσε η εγγονή της...Ο Σατανάς Μέσα της
@@kostasvrionis781 🤦👍👍💯
Omg yes, that was absolutely heart-rending. I have bipolar 2, PTSD and depressive disorder and have had depression since I was a child because of SA and although I came up with some absolutely amazing ways to kill people in fanfiction I NEVER actually planned to hurt anyone. Hell it scared the shit out of me when I had severe post partum depression and sleep deprivation and had a nightmare about hurting my baby, so badly that as soon as they were open I called the mental health office and scheduled an appointment. I felt horrible and I hadn't even done anything. I can't imagine trapping my sibling into being an accessory to murder.
I was just about to comment this. Very heartbreaking 💔
@@desertparanormal2791 Your very strong for calling for help...For staying strong with what has happened to you!!
Adults that hurt children..those weaker....are sick and pathetic...it's hard to live with the feelings we have afterwards... but what must come first is it's never our fault!!
I’m seriously shocked by the pre-digging of graves by a 15yr old, female, first time killer. Terrifying to think of what kind of havoc she might’ve caused had she not been found out.
Imagine what she could do as an adult?
yet she wrote about her murder in her diary lol. one of the stupidest killers if you ask me
@@ytho268 absolutely. definitely not implying she was clever;)
evil is evil.
Possibly a serial killer there, all the pre existing conditions to be one too, sad, just sad
Thanks for this version of the story. It pays more attention to the victim than her killer
My type i always care and want to no the victims not the killers
@Jim Q. Starr lol 😂 wtf
I agree. And other people who covered this, didn’t give the details of this psychopath having the need to have time with this poor innocent girl who was killed, as a result of this evil. The fact that the justice system has to care about what this evil person has to say or feel, makes me sick to my stomach
@@sasset-uk1987Wow, so cool, intelligent and unique. Sounds tough. I care for the criminals, because literally no one else does.
The way she calmly lied through her teeth until she's cornered gave me chills even as an adult!
The way that you titled your video by the Victims name "The Case of Elizabeth Olten" and focus on the beautiful life that was stolen instead of Allysa like everyone else on youtube shows you have the upmost respect and are full of sensibilities towards the memory of the only important life in this senseless murder case! Cheers From Salt Lake City Utah!
This Channel and coffeehouse crimes are the best, compassionate, caring, empathic, and focusing on the victim not the monstrous pos
My thoughts exactly ! Respect
honestly some channels *cough* eleanor neale *cough* have the most disrespectful titles. this channel is always so considerate
All lives are important, if you believe otherwise, you’re part of the problem.
@@JoeCool90 The victims whose lives unjustly where taken are seldon remember mentioned or known yet the psychopath or sociopath responsible for the heinous crimes somehow become celebrities. Go create your own murderer shrine channel! and let the rest of us remember and celebrate the victims life! .
You can tell her grandmother is a good person. When she reacts to the throat cut question you can tell it completely devastates her.
Hearing her grandmothers cries ruined me. That poor woman knowing her granddaughter is like that.
I love that this is named "Elizabeth Olten" instead of the criminal's name. I wouldn't have watched it if I knew it was about Alyssa. I did watch and appreciate your way of telling this horrific story. Thank you
Is it done for altruistic reasons or is she just trying to trick people into watching a video that has been done by every other true crime channel on YT?
@@tylerskissall of their videos have the victims names and not the killers name.
I remember seeing a video about this case, when the grandma was in the interview with her and got up to leave after she confessed, someone said to the grandma that everything will be ok, and the grandma said “but it won’t, will it?” It seems so easy to blame her circumstances growing up,but lots of people have problems growing up, doesn’t mean you have to kill someone just to prove what a 💩 life you had. 😞 poor Elizabeth, she must’ve been terrified. R.I.P 🌹 thx tc 💐
She screamed it will never be ok, it sent chills down my spine.
I watched the interview too, the screams from the grandmother were horrific. It was a mixture of so many emotions, I physically could feel her screams
dont you mean poor lawyers:(
@@iAintNoHollaBackGirl 🤷♀️
That was on the explore with us channel right...?
I realize that teenagers need privacy, and a sanctuary of their own like a bedroom. But surely someone else in that household had opened her bedroom door, or walked passed it when it was open, and seen the chaos and the walls. I believe Alyssa should have been in a secure facility well before this happened.
I agree
I agree.
Yes, it doesn’t make sense does it!!?
How on earth could anyone else in that family
have NOT noticed such a filthy, sordid bedroom like that!? 🤦♀️🤷♀️😡🇬🇧
@@CosmosChill7649 Truth Brother
THANK YOU! I've been waiting for someone to say that! If EFFING hospital staff diagnosed her as VIOLENT, then WHAT THE HELL were they doing LETTING HER OUT?! TF!
The grandmother's visceral reaction in that interrogation is what sticks with me. However people need to understand that you can't love someone out of a mental illness or traumatic behavior. Alyssa needed more than a loving home.
Exactly what I was thinking.
So many people out there who look and sound okay...when they have to...but are dead inside.
lmao she would’ve been evil even with professional help
Pity that someone couldn’t have gone out
and dug a huge whole for this evil little bitch….😡
I would gladly have helped to dig it! and dropped her in!!
A “loving home” clearly never going to be enough for HER!! 😡😱 (UK 🇬🇧)
I agree with the point about not being able to love someone out of a mental illness or traumatic behavior. Alyssa DID receive inpatient psychiatric care for her issues so I'm unsure what else her grandparents could've done to help her.
@@aravenlunatic9028
Proper discipline!!!(?)
No grandkids I know of have, or will NEVER
seemingly been so indifferent 😑 to this little troll’s
atrocious behavior!! 😡 maybe they were frightened of
confronting the little troll 😈! I certainly WOULD have ensured
that she turned out better than this!! 😱🤦♀️
There HAD to be signs that this 😈 creature was out of control!!
Back in the day, the threat of a good smacking was enough to
make any adolescent think twice, at least in my own experience!
It may be frowned upon these days, but victims like Elizabeth would still be here!!
This is beyond shocking to me…..especially as it was alleged that she also
hurt animals…….wtf!? 🤦♀️🤦♀️😱🤬🤷♀️🤷♀️🇬🇧
I remember when the grandmother found out what happened at the police station and yelled, “it will never be ok,” when someone was comforting her, I felt that.
That poor baby girl must have been terrified when she realized the danger she was in. RIP little one 🌹💔
I hope Elizabeth Olten is resting in peace up in heaven and taking care of her familia and friends that loved her
How she can stay so calm while being interrogated is amazing, especially for a young girl herself; however, if she was capable of doing what she did, staying calm would have probably been a breeze for her. Thanks for the subtitles during the interrogation. I remember her poor grandma breaking down in there and having to leave the room and you could still hear her when she left the room and was in the hallway. How heartbreaking not only for Elizabeth and her whole family, but Alyssa's poor grandparents and Emma, too.
She loves the attention! This is one sick unit!
Severely diminished emotions. Whether because she's got a personality disorder or not, I can't say, but when I was on heavy antidepressants and anti-psychotics you could have told me my entire family had just died and I would have easily been able to keep it together until I was alone. I do suspect she has some sort of antisocial behavioural thing going on though
Coz she's a psychopath
Zero conscience. Zero soul.
She’s pretty proud of herself.
Her grandparents allowed her horrendous behavior to go on unchecked (and now blaming the medical establishment 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️- that’s insanity but not surprising. Doing just what they raised her to do - not take any responsibility, blame everything/everyone but themselves) . They raised their own kid right into a junkie- unable to raise their own offspring.
Then let this one just fester....
Now everyone is surprised? How is that possible?!?
I don't care how hard her childhood was, there are many, many people who had it much harder than this girl, but they don't kill people. She is a selfish, narcissistic bully. She is where she needs to be.
Exactly...
Not everyone can stay sane through those varying levels of messed up childhood. I try to see it the same as alcohol tolerance, not everyone's threshold is the same. Obviously doesn't excuse or minimize the actions but it is an explanation to the messed up mind that could do these things.
@@molleirose true but she's evil a little girl? Her sisters friend? Wonder though when it started
the thing is, it’s all psychology that she doesn’t understand either. obviously it’s absolutely no excuse for murder. it’s js crazy someone can do something like that without realizing how it affects others.
Well that's not very empathetic and it paints a very black and white picture. You can show remorse and sympathy towards people's tragic backstories, especially when it's childhood trauma because it's outside of their own control, while still condemning their actions.
Seriously hope Elizabeth's mother doesn't feel guilty for letting her little girl go out and play that day. Alyssa was so determined (with pre-dug holes) that if she didn't do it on that day, she would have done it another day. Alyssa is a great example of someone whose exact nature is truly criminal.
Me too, imagine how you would fee as a mother, Thinking if only I said no, But her Mum didn't know a 15 year old evil monster was going to murder her daughter, Murder kills happiness and the hurt and pain can go on for years even decades, WHAT WAS GOING ON IN THAT GIRLS HEAD, WERE DOES THIS EVIL THINKING COME FROM????? LOLOVELINDA AUSTRALIA ❤👍👍🦘🐨🙏😁❤
Indeed!
Demon. She is a demon.
Of course she doesn't, Emma was forced by Alyssa to call Elizabeth out.
Had her mother not let Elizabeth go Alyssa could have turned on Emma n this story would have a different victim... just sayin 🤷
poor Elizabeth and her family
Her last moments must have been so frightening 😭
and painful and hopeless :(
@@kimmyfreak200 so true
Eugh makes me feel so sick 😪
It was... only day ill get my revenge on Alyssa! Or at least haunt her 👻
@@nickyblue4866 If ghosts were real I think less people would kill cause they souls could torture their killers
How do you KNOW ?????
Have you been there ????????????
I am so glad her grandparents got up and walked away. Alyssa is a sociopath, and no amount of compassion will change that. Reminds me of the Leopold and Loeb case, where two young men kidnapped and murdered 14-year-old Bobby Franks because they wanted to feel the "thrill" of killing someone. Monsters. RIP, sweet Elizabeth.
To me it was appalling. They were supposed to be there for her. Them walking away shows they were not very empathetic and were more concerned of themselves. Looking at photo of her room and knowing she had major mental illness and had been using drugs as well, i really wonder how well they really succeeded in parenting? Their track record isn't very good to begin with, considering their own kid became drug addict. The video paints picture of them being caring and loving, but I doubt that's the reality. Something must be seriously wrong if their kid AND then grand kid start abusing substances in their custody
@@murrrr8288 I mean it doesn’t say which grandparents of hers it was but her father was in prison and her mother was a drug addict. So I mean there’s a lot of people here being like “poor grandparents” but honestly it sounds like they never should have been parents let alone grandparents and neither should Alyssa’s parents. Not everyone should have kids. Generic mental illness and drug addiction…. She was cutting herself and using drugs, went to the hospital once and never got continuing care? Doesn’t sound like her grandparents were very concerned until she already killed that little girl and then they just abandoned her. She will likely be in and out of mental institutions and prison for life. No support system. No parents. What she did is inexcusable but there are other responsible parties here as well.
@@murrrr8288 her grandmother was in a state of shock that her granddaughter had killed someone.
What about the two teenage boys that kidnapped a three year old boy from a mall and did unspeakable things to him before murdering him for the very same reason, because they were bored. How the hell do these kids end up this way??
Grandparent led out by police so she didn’t disrupt the police interview and the confession they were trying to obtain.
Wise words from Elizabeth's father. He is still a father who wished he could have protected his daughter. Little Elizabeth is in heaven now where nobody can hurt her. Comfort to her family.
Heartbreaking to think Elizabeth would’ve been 22 years old. May her soul rest in peace 😢
😢
Gosh I hadn't realized that either!
My oldest is 22.
I had no idea she was the same age of him.
She is crying, because HER life just came crashing down around her and knew she would likely spend the rest of her life in prison. I guarantee that she has NOT lost a single second of time being remorseful. People like her have no empathy, they feel absolutely no guilt whatsoever, they feel superior to others and they can never change what they are.
Monster monster
I feel very sorry grandma,mostly because I know she realizes her own culpability in this horror. I believe the killer's own sister was in dire danger and the adults in charge were turning a blind eye.
I was no angel at one point in my life. Came from a very abusive home and pretty young, I got involved in heavy heavy drug use (sober 10 years May 8th) and was a despicable addict. I lied, I stole, I destroyed myself for many years. Thank God I'm delivered from that life. NEVER,...let me reiterate, NEVER did I have a thought to hurt another human being. ESPECIALLY A CHILD. It didn't matter how dope sick I was or how irritated and broken I felt, I NEVER had a thought or desire to hurt another person, regardless of how I'd been hurt. How another person could DESIRE to go out and be predatory is beyond my comprehension as a fellow human being. Evil can exist in the most shocking of places, and if that kind of sick, twisted, disturbed evil is in a person, especially a TEEN GIRL, it just....it boggles the mind no matter what trauma you've experienced. She has no excuse, she's dangerous, she never needs to be in society again. Period.
Agree completely!
.. also Congratulations on 10 years, that's an amazing milestone. Hoping many more to come for you 💫
10 years is amazing!! 🦾
@@JLYT2024 thank you so much. I have a beautiful life now, my own business, just bought my 1st home. Things turned around in ways I never imagined they could. I'm so blessed and I'm so grateful. Thank you. ❤️
@@OTDub thank you so much. It really has been such an amazing journey and my entire life has changed in the most unbelievably wonderful ways. I can't believe I never knew life could be so amazing. ❤️
@@samanthaconn3895 Sorry, but your statement doesn't mean anything. You never thought of kidnapping and killing a helpless little girl because you do not have this person's particular violent psychosis. If this isn't severe and uncontrollable mental illness then there is no such thing.
The reaction of that poor grandmother. God this whole case is just awful.
Thanks for presenting Elizabeth's case with the respect,dignity,and compassion her case warranted. My deepest condolences to all of Elizabeth's family,friends,and community for their horrific loss. The interview moment when Alyssa's grandmother nearly fainted after hearing her granddaughter reveal how she killed Elizabeth was savagely raw and devastating. I'm sure both grandparents deal with guilt over Alyssa's actions and when they heard her faux apology for what she enjoyed doing to Elizabeth,they severed ties with her. I hope everyone who has been affected by Alyssa's selfish action receive mental health services to help them cope. Alyssa gets to spend a good chunk of her future locked up for what she did and if she ever comes up for parole (which should be flat out denied),the first question she's asked is "what was it like killing a 9 year old child so you could learn what killing felt like?" And followed quickly by "was destroying so many lives worth the buzz ya got for killing a kid?" Millions of people worldwide endure absolutely horrific childhoods and don't become abusers or killers so that "rotten childhood made me do it" defense was absurd. I don't doubt Alyssa had a traumatic childhood but that doesn't excuse the fact she knew what she did was wrong and took steps to lie and cover up what she did. Alyssa's own actions led to the savage murder of an innocent 9 year old girl and she doesn't deserve mercy from the parole board if she ever comes up for parole. Rest in power Elizabeth.
And her grandparents still visit her once a month....hard to believe
Pisses me off she got a plea deal for second degree instead of first. It was so very clearly pre-meditated.. seeing her smirking in her mug shot is infuriating...
I've heard this story covered several times but when this video started i didn't recognise the story. Goes to show that not enough emphasis is put on the victims. Thank you for framing it this way and putting Elizabeth first.
She's a sick person. No tears until she realized she wasn't going to get away with it.
One of the saddest stories. And as awful as it is to say, if it hadn’t been Elizabeth, it would’ve been someone else. Because SOMEONE was going to die at that girls hand at some point in time. She was going to kill someone. Poor little Elizabeth just happen to be the first.
I'm not completely sure, but i had to assume that she had alo her little sister Emma on her list. Maybe, just maybe she choosed Elisabeth instead, bc she HAD some empathy for Emma.
Or killing Emma was too close to home for Alyssa and she would be seen as a suspect far earlier. Who really knows what kind of (for her) logical plannings and thoughts got through her mind.
The way you presented this case was so different to many others. It was a truly compassionate perspective, rather than one of gore and fear. This is so refreshing. I really believe the way that you focused on the disastrous loss of life, of a beautiful young girl, with her whole life ahead of her was very respectful. Rather than making it all about the one who committed this atrocity, you focused on the victim, which is how it should be, but often isn’t. Wonderfully thought out and a beautiful tribute to a sparkling, bright little girl, who had her sparkle go out in such a cruel and vicious way. 😢
I cannot begin to imagine what that poor child went thru having her life taken by her friends sister someone she knew and trusted.
The fact that Alyssa is due for parole in 2 years is scary she should never be let out
Naw fam, she isn't eligible for parole now until 2044. And that's only if she has consistently good behavior in prison.
@@AdelineCowgirl nope, she can be released in 2027 according to new rules
@@thomash.larsen6932 scary
@@jjsixtwofour - You can Google it as often people do not allow links. Here is a news report. Anyone is entitled to a hearing after 15 years but that doesn't mean she will have a hope in hell of getting out. The USA locks up more of its citizens than any nation in human history and sentences children for life without parole. So I actually think this is a good thing. America has 4% of the global population but 20% of all prisoners on earth.
NEWS REPORT -
"Rep. Mark Sharp, D-Kansas City, told ABC 17 News he did not support an early release for Alyssa Bustamante, the St. Martins woman that killed 9-year-old Elizabeth Olten when she was 15. Sharp said he did not know about the case until ABC 17 News sent him a petition from an advocacy group calling for Gov. Mike Parson to veto the bill based on a provision he brought to the House floor. Sharp successfully added a provision to Senate Bill 26 this year that would make people eligible for a parole hearing after serving 15 years of any sentence that comes with a punishment of 15 years or greater. That wouldn't apply to people convicted of first-degree murder or capital murder."
It reminds me of a case in Scotland years ago a young girl called Mary Bell who killed a younger child.
These kids are dangerous as kids what happens when they become adults?
It's a tricky thing do we as a society lock them up and throw away the keys or do we try to rehabilitate them?
The audio is very good in this video! Thank you for speaking about this case with so much compassion for the people it affected.
I can’t help but think, her tears weren’t of regret but concern that she’d been found out. That poor little girl.
Why is it so rare for content creators to give credit to the victims instead of their killers? Thanks for giving Elizabeth her due credit. I’ve heard this sad story before, but I’d forgotten Alyssa’s name. I’d only recognized it because of the overhead view of the neighborhood and those woods.
Because most only care about monetization.
One of the main reasons as to why I *LOVE* this True Crime channel so much, is because of the title. They are titling it after the victim, showing nothing but kindness, love, & respect to the victim & the family. It is a rare thing to see anymore! ❤
Literally almost every other video about this case.
•Alyssa Bustamante, 15 year old psycho murders 9 yr old.
•The Disturbing case of Alyssa Bustamante
•Alyssa Bustamante shocking diary entry reveals Sadistic crime!
•15 year old girl does the UNTHINKABLE for a THRILL.
For obvious reasons, Alyssa's name unfortunately, is the more recognizable one, as most murderers are when compared to their victims. But to add to that WOW factor, she's a 15 yr old girl who killed a 9 year old. So when I see a video titled with the victims name, instead of the killers name, in my opinion, it is a nice thing to see. It's a breath of fresh air. It shows the character of the channel, the humanity & compassion. It also shows how much respect they have for the families of these loved ones. As well as the victims, themselves. And I'm here for it!
Thank you @TrulyCriminal for all your hard work & dedication. But most of all, thank you for your compassion & empathy. Your kindness & respect. All of it. It does not go unnoticed! 💯👍🏻👏🏻🙌🏻⭐🆒️
If I had one wish, I would wish for a world without evil. Poor sweet little girl should be living her life. Seeing pictures of her just makes me so sad, she, like every child, deserved innocence and happiness. 😢
Allysas room, ugh that's disgusting
Evil is subjective
@@nickyblue4866 Yes. The concepts of both 'good' and 'evil' are subjective. What is your conception of evil? How would define good?
As sad as my next comments will be, they're 100% true... *Everyone I grew up with, including myself, came from abusive or addictive home lives.* It was just the environment in my trailer park. But I made a choice to break the cycle of dysfunction. Alyssa chose Evil. Her childhood is NOT why she murdered that beautiful little girl. 💔🤬
Me too, I broke the domestic violence, sexual abuse cycle, there are no excuses uses what so ever you are a warrior x
This might come as a shock, but a so-called psychopath never chose being emotionless or violent. Their brains are different from ours and a scan probably would have confirmed the disorder. Calling it 'evil' is absurd. It's not evil. It's a disorder that, if absolutely everything goes wrong in that person's life, can lead to sadism and murder. Someone with a normal brain wouldn't turn into a psychopath in spite of a horrible upbringing - because they have empathy and emotions.
So no... her childhood is not why she murdered her, but her disorder is. And she didn't choose it or the fact that she has an underdeveloped prefrontal cortex. We like to call murderers evil monsters, but that's really just superstition. I find it better to look at the science to understand why it happens. I know teenagers can still get help, but I guess most just rot away in prison in USA rather than get some actual help. The brain is still developing at that age and that's why I say they can still get better.
I rarely ever get angry with perpetrators anymore. I just see human suffering on so many levels. I feel extremely sad on behalf of the victim and her parents, but I also know that more lives were ruined by this and I have empathy for them as well.
100% AGREED!!! I came from an abusive, (physical, mental, emotional, verbal and sexual abuse while watching our parents drunkenly do the same to each other) dysfunctional horrid childhood and so did my siblings and we don't go around killing people.. I am SO SO SICK of these creepy non humans blaming their wrecked childhood and their hardships or parental neglect or abuse in THEIR CHOICES!!!!
It’s very true. My childhood wasn’t as abusive but it was there, and no substance abuse, but I only recently started to talk to a professional and get meds to help deal with my depression… and when I’m angry… I have never thought about harming anyone else. My kind can wrap around that type of thinking.
This!!! Thank you for saying this
Poor Elizabeth, I'm literally holding my forehead listening to this gut wrenching story. 🤦♀️💔😢🥵
RIP Angel 🕊🧸🌹🌹
I can't imagine her fear & the families.
Prayers for all too stay strong. 💪🏼💗
Again I truly love & appreciate all your hard work telling these appuling stories. Always with great excellence my friend.
God bless 👑🙏🏻🕊🍂🍂💕
Such an awful thing. As well as Elizabeth's family I also feel for Emma. She was only 6 years old and she enticed her friend to come out to play because her older sister instructed her to. That's got to be pretty rough to live with..
She's pure evil, the fact that she could be released sickens me. The justice system really let the family down.
the justice system lets EVERYONE except the actual criminals
She planned to kill 5 days before and dug a grave for the victim. That’s how sick this murderer was
The prosecutors knew that without the confession, they might lose if they put her on trial for murder 1. That's why they offered a plea deal for murder 2 (which unfortunately comes with a possibility of parole). The family of Elizabeth would have had to agree to the plea deal before it was offered. I agree with you she should never be released, but in this case the justice system had its hands tied...
The killer was a mess. The poor grandmother did her best, and you have to feel sorry for her.
No, no, people need to take responsibility. If she couldn't care for her granddaughter she should have let the system deal with her. Have the grandma seen Alyssa bedroom and thought that it was normal? What grandma did it was many parents, wives, friends do: close the eyes to it and pretend that by doing that the issue will go away. She did a lazy job and for that a innocent child was groomed and killed 😠
@@tatimiracy Your opinion, my opinion and their opinion. Most kids had terrible childhood experiences, socially, familial or otherwise, but not everyone becomes a killer.
@@tatimiracy smh a dirty bedroom can be quite normal for teens
@@peacenow42 there is a difference between dirty and disturbing.
@@priyankapriyadarshini8494 I know trust me. But I am not sure you all know the difference between recognizing a disturbing room owned by a disturbed person vs a normal teen beset by disturbing circumstances. My daughter covered her walls with drawings and music lyrics over her pink walls. Her friends joined in. It was very messy too. You see...her school chum had been raped and murdered. She acted out as a normal teen would do. But one day even her dad had enough and took the darkest paint her could and tried to paint over the lyrics and words he found the worst. THE WORDS BLED BACK THROUGH. The world was trying to tell him something.
She is now 35 and one of the kindest strongest young women EVER. She is fighting really bad breast cancer during this pandemic with dignity and strength and so far winning. Did my ex- learn anything? No. Our poor son got stuck at his house for the past 2 plus years due to covid. (His job turned to online work and found they could save a lot of money so there he stayed)...he had just graduated college at the start of it all. For a man in his 20s this past 2 plus years must have been torture. Now he has always been neat as a pin...maybe he relaxed a bit cause his dad was complaining last week how messy his room was and worried "what was his house gonna look like" (when he was on his own)? THIS is what he chose to focus on....he always drive me nuts with his need for things to be so clean all time. BTW my ex- was also diagnosed with lung cancer right after our daughter's diagnosis (they share the ATM gene mutation gene)...my son has had to help them both through their surgeries and therapies. And he might have the gene too,,,the cousins do. So yeah I know a bit about 'dirty' and 'disturbing' and I am deeply disturbed by all the comments about the killer girl's room. It didn't look that bad to me BTW...I have friends who keep their entire loving friendly household much worse than that room.
This is heartbreaking. RIP Elizabeth. May the Angels give you wings to fly
I find it hard to believe that nobody noticed anything troubling in this teenager, somebody should have seen something was wrong.
The grandparents probably knew she was disturbed, but to think she’d kill a little girl mercilessly? It didn’t even cross their minds, I’m guessing.
Oh, yeah, I'm remembering this case now that you've mentioned Alyssa's name and showed her picture. Too bad that that's how I'm able to remember the case. Glad you put Elizabeth's name in the title, ladies, and congrats on 450,000 subscribers as well!!
Going to continue on here with the video. Hope you are enjoying your weekend!
EDIT: And good on Emma for finally coming forward with the truth about what really happened that day. Must have been scary for that young girl to do that since it involved her sis.
Thank you for making consistently great, interesting and thought provoking content for us all. It’s clear how much work you guys put in and doesn’t go unnoticed! Saturdays are better with a TC upload!
Thank you so much for the kind words!🖤
I’ve seen this case 100 times, but this was the best I’ve seen it done! Great job as always! ❤
It's scary to think what they would do as a grown adult if they can do this as a kid.
This is one of the cruelest crime I have seen! I’ve seen several versions of it and it NEVER fails to make me cry for this poor 9 year old little girl! The evilness of this girl is horrific! She should never ever get out of prison!
I feel for her mother. I’m sure she blames herself every day for letting her go outside that day to play. 😢 RIP ⭐️
I feel incredibly sorry for what had happened to Elizabeth Olten. She was just a young girl at the time of her disappearance and later passing. We all appreciate the amount of respect and consideration you have for this case overall.
I often put on the other criminal channels how good your criminal channel for me. Your criminal channel is clearly the best of the lot. Please keep up the good work you’re brilliant
What a winner of a father she has. Totally normal art to include in a birthday card to your daughter....
I find the fact that he got a 14 year old pregnant more worrying than that drawing!
@Rai_S82 The letter says 14 but all the reports said 16. I'm confused.
Never saw Halloween themed skulls before?
Her Mother wasn’t any better
Update: She rcvd life w/possible parole by 2024. However, she was also found guilty of armed assault - the knife. Whereas the judge added an additional 30 years, consecutive to the first charge. Her earliest possible release won't be until 2054 when she would be 60 years old. Again, that's IF her first parole is granted after only 15 years.
Wonderful video! Rice, the interrogator, did a superb job in my opinion. The confession shouldn’t have been thrown out.
Wow. I can never understand a child with so much hate. Such a sweet child now gone for nothing. 💔
Too bad we can't give alyssa what she asked for when she stated, "I'd give my life if it brought Elizabeth back." The diary entry was an awful reveal of her selfish evil mind.
OH WOW. I saw the full interrogation a few months ago and was hoping you'd do this case. THANK YOU so much. Really looking forward!
I’ve never been this early and I’m still late!
Amazing coverage as always! We all appreciate the hard work you all put in ❤❤
the old "if this was an accident that's fine"...gets them every time....clever tactic
This channel has great content. I love the narrator's voice, pitch and respect when presenting the cases. Thank you for sharing.
Two of the most moving parts of this video for me are the reaction from Eliza’s grandmother, and the words spoken afterwards by Elizabeth’s father.
Even though its not her fault, I bet her mom cannot forgive herself for letting her go out & play that evening.
I doubt that.
And Emma for "helping" or whatever part she played.
@@lalathebenificent1335 wasn’t that girl 6 years old? She didn’t know.
@@TheQueenOfSheba I don't know. So sad, tho. To use your 6 yo little sister that way
If it hadn’t been that night it probably would have been another night. That poor woman had no idea a monster was living beside her and had its sights set on her daughter. My heart breaks for her.
Very sad story indeed. RIP Elizabeth. Thoughts are with her family and friends.
You are one of my fav true crime channels, i love the way you always respectfully put the victims names in the titles rather than sensationalize the headings for clickbait.
I can't do this today. There is a hurt in this Grams heart that can't hear this today. Thank you anyway, for the few seconds of hearing your soft, compassionate voice, that I've grown to love.
Thank you for your presentations that continue to get better and better! Excellent job!
I followed this case too. At first I thought that it was cruel that she was facing life without parole. But after seeing her and hearing her here I pray that she is denied parole. This is one evil and sick person. I know life did not hand her the best of circumstances but so many others have face the same troubled roads. Yet they found away to move beyond those circumstances and make a life for themselves. I see no life in Alysssa Bustamante's life. I have very little faith that she can "work things out" she is where she needs to be and nowhere else. I think her grandparents saw that too and as much as they may have loved the person there was not way that she should ever be released.
The shock of hearing what her granddaughter had done to Elizabeth, her heartbreaking cry, brought tears to my eyes 😢 very sad case.
Your videos continue to massively impress with both the content and delivery. I could easily imagine this as a tv programme. Well done
This case is always so gutwrenching to me, especially because I have an 8 year old little girl 😔 I can't imagine what the parents on both sides went through
My daughter just turned 8 a week ago and I feel the same way! I couldn't imagine
@Angel2020 as a mother of 2 sons 11 and 16 I’ve been known to run after the bullies before now. Then ill go for mom if i can’t get thru to them. Violence isn’t the answer but teach your boy to defend himself
Just love how you give these videos over to us! Awesome
Thank you for the comprehensive, compassionate way you present the facts. Keep up the great work.
Another amazing video.Your narration is top notch.Keep up the great work!
Another great episode, thanks for creating and sharing.
I love the Lady telling the stories. She has such a lovely, calming voice! Thank you.
Just evil no excuses she should never be released RIP Elizabeth.
Thank you. What an exceptional job on the research, detail and context. Fondly, a massive Canadian fan!
Thank you for making this about Elizabeth❤ I always see this one called the Alyssa Bustamante case
I've had a bad childhood and I have had mental health issues from the age of 15. I self harmed and started drinking and solvent abuse. In later life I got addicted to drugs. With all that I have been through I have never physically harmed another person and I never could. This girl may have had a tough time in her short life but it is not an excuse to take another person's life especially a child and all because she wanted to know what it felt like to kill someone.
Alice your voice was made to do this my dear. You and your sister have made such excellent work on your channel. Well done 🙌.
The interview with Elizabeth Olten’s father was powerful…
I so look forward to your uploads every Saturday evening, you are doing a fantastic job with this channel. I am a true crime lover and you are in the top 3 of all of the channels out there. Keep up the great work!
This is one of the saddest cases I've seen!! That poor innocent 9 year old Elizabeth. So innocent. I feel heartbroken with the family. May she rest in Peace. 💔
The saying “As within, so without” is so true when you look at this kid’s room.
How on earth can one child do what she did to another child , it's disgusting.
R.i.p
I watch a lot of true crime programs and videos. This is, by far, the best true crime YT channel I've come across. These videos are presented very professionally. They are well written, well narrated and it's obvious they are researched extensively. I don't comment often but I felt you deserved some adulation.. Keep up the great work.
Bailey sarian and Mrballen is better by FAR.
@@melisentiapheiffer3034 LOL, you're joking...I hope.
@@sawliss I'm being deadly serious and you know it. This channel is very morbid, unlike the two I have mentioned. Their content never gets too much because they have a very unique way in which they tell crime stories. MrBallen and Bailey Sarian narrate their crime stories like no other crime channel narrator's on UA-cam. Once you start watching their channels, you will know exactly what I mean.
So-I have closely followed this case since day one. I used to live in the house Elizabeth did-right before her family moved in.
I remember her Mom from before this from her job. Super sweet woman-Elizabeth got that from her.
St Martins is just outside Jefferson City, MO-and this rocked us to our core.
The Murderer should have been charged and tried as an adult-she should have faces 1st degree murder charges. She got off lucky
I have watched almost every single true crime video of this and this is the BEST one hands down. You put Elizabeth’s name up instead of the Murderer. You truly showed her family the respect they deserve. I can’t thank you enough as someone who lived this story. You teared me up.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for such a well made episode.
Truly a monster!!
Poor girl , I can’t imagine how frightened she must have been,RIP beautiful sweet girl Elizabeth ❤
Chilling case , love the content !
Poor sweet Elizabeth. Sadly it seems too much damage had been done to Alyssa in her early years before she entered the care of her grandmother. There reaches a point where love can’t repair the damage.
I hate this excuse. I had a very traumatic childhood and didn't become a murderer, nor did any of the others I knew with difficult childhoods.
@@bethany18244 this may be true but I hope Alyssa’s parents are walking around with a lot of guilt and remorse
The poor grandmother. It was hard to watch her reaction after she found out her granddaughter is an evil sociopath.
It's repulsive how in so many of these cases the police say "oh, she just ran off"...it never happens, like that, does it?
You have a great voice for this kind of subject. It's appropriately solemn
I've heard this heartbreaking story told twice before but you gave it justice.
Within the very first few minutes, I recognized the crime since it has been repeated by so many other killer KIDS. Your skill in gathering information, editing your extensive research and yes, your voice, is extraordinary in comparison to others telling of this exact horrendous crime. Thank you. ❤😢
I love your channel - it is perfect ❤
