What Happened To Cassie Jo Stoddart's Murderers?

The Cinemaholic reports that Adamcik and Draper later claimed that they had snuck back into the home to scare Stoddart. When they emerged from the basement, however, they proceeded to stab her 30 times. It was later determined that 12 of those stabs were fatal (via All That's Interesting). On September 24, Stoddart's family returned to their home and found her lifeless body in the living room. According to the Idaho State Journal, investigators quickly determined that Adamcik and Draper were the last to see Stoddart.

Adamcik was interviewed that same day and stated that he and Draper went to a movie theater after they left the home. Per All That's Interesting, he was unable to say what movie they had seen. Soon after, Draper escorted the authorities to Black Rock Canyon near Pocatello. There, the boys had hidden evidence, including knives, masks, and a videotape. Adamcik and Draper had filmed themselves planning Stoddart's murder and their reactions to killing her.

All That's Interesting explains that Adamcik and Draper also mention Ted Bundy, the Zodiac Killer, and the Columbine school shooting in the video. Per the Idaho State Journal, Draper states, "we're going to make history." He added, "I feel like I want to kill somebody. Uh, I know that's not normal, but what the hell." The Spokesman-Review writes that Adamcik and Draper, who were then 16, were subsequently charged with first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit first-degree murder.
