Murder of Cassie Jo Stoddart

Rare card · No. 16685

Cassie Jo Stoddart (December 21, 1989 – September 22, 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 (b. March 21, 1990) and Torey Michael Adamcik ( ADAM-chick; b. June 14, 1990). 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 fans of horror movies, especially Scream, and wanted to commit 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.
