crimesandcuriosities:A Horror Film Reenactment: The ‘Scream’ Murder of Cassie Jo Stoddart During the evening of 22nd September 2006, 16-year-old Cassie Jo Stoddart headed over to her aunt and uncle’s home in a remote area of Bannock County, Idaho. Her relatives were going away for the night and had asked Cassie to look after the house. Wanting some company, she was joined at the house by her boyfriend, Matt Beckham, at around 6pm. Later that evening, two classmates named Brian Draper (16) and Torey Adamcik (16) also turned up at the house and they all settled down to watch a movie together. However, before the film ended, Brian and Torey announced they were leaving to attend a local movie theatre. The four friends said their goodbyes, and the two boys left. However, unbeknownst to Cassie and Matt, Brian and Torey had unlocked the basement door on their way out. A short while later, Brian and Torey returned wearing dark outfits and masks, and they snuck into the basement through the unlocked door. Brian was obsessed with the Columbine massacre and Torey was a big fan of the movie Scream, and so they were eager to recreate their own horror scene. While Matt and Cassie watched TV, Brian and Torey began making loud noises in an attempt to lure their friends into the basement. When that failed to attract them, they instead cut the power. With the lights frequently cutting out, Cassie began to feel uneasy, which was worsened by the fact the family’s dog was constantly growling at the basement door. Matt called his mother and asked if he could remain at the house with Cassie for the night, so that she felt safer. Matt’s mother denied his request, but said that Cassie was welcome to stay at their home and offered to drop her back off at her aunt and uncle’s house the next morning. Cassie turned down this offer, as she did not want to leave the pets unattended. At approximately 10:30pm, Matt returned home and Cassie was left alone. Keep reading -- source link
