Murder of Cassie Jo Stoddart

Cassie Jo Stoddart (21 December 1989 – 22 September 2006), a 16-year-old high school junior, was a victim of a thrill killing in Pocatello, Idaho on September 22, 2006, while pet sitting her aunt and uncle’s dogs at their home. The perpetrators were her friends and classmates, Brian Lee Draper () and Torey Michael Adamcik ( ; ). Stoddart's body was discovered two days later, when her relatives returned home from their trip.

The perpetrators claimed that they were inspired to murder Stoddart by the slasher film ''Scream'', which led to them being nicknamed "The Scream Killers". Adamcik and Draper recorded documentary-style videos about how they were horror movie fans, especially ''Scream'', and wanted to reenact a similar murder in real life. They started a "Death List" of other potential victims the day of Stoddart's murder, following their initial plan.

Both perpetrators received sentences of life imprisonment without parole on August 24, 2007. Provided by Wikipedia
