I think Jennifer handled herself very well in this interview. She was honest and non-judgmental about her old friend, but yet she didn't condone her evil action.

It's also very courageous of her to speak up and make the public aware that there may be some early signs of someone's disturbance (mentally) and we should, as society, shouldn't disregard them. It's easy to look away from problems other people are going through, but it is harder when it's too late to do something.

Peinay, I have talked with Jennifer and she is a very mature 16 year old. She is also a very sweet person. I imagine that having gone through this that she has had to view the world a little differently that most teens and had to grow up pretty fast.I agree with you, she is very courageous to speak up and make the public aware. She is a shining example of what teens need as a advocate against teen violence and crime. Thank you for your post.

@icekold23 You don't consider Bustamante leading police to the body to be very convincing, huh?

Alyssa must have had something happen to her, she was raised by her grand parents so her birth parents maybe messed her up.

@apples199324 You r pretty, intelligent and mature for your age. Thank you for sharing your thoughts about Alyssa. It looks like she had a good friend to help her from doing evil if only she would have come to you first.

[kenda777]

Her grandparents knew that Alyssa liked to go into the woods and kill animals with a knife, thats a serious sign of a deranged mind. Also I believe that the second grave was goin to be for Alyssa Bustamante's sister but she changed her mind to only kill Elizabeth at the last miniute .
