Murder of Cassie Jo Stoddart

A thrill killing occurred in Pocatello, Idaho, on September 22, 2006 when Brian Lee Draper (born March 21, 1990) and Torey Michael Adamcik ( ; born June 14, 1990) who were high school juniors, stabbed and murdered their classmate Cassie Jo Stoddart (born December 21, 1989) in her aunt and uncle's house. 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 31, 2007. Provided by Wikipedia
