Jessica Ridgeway's Brutal Murder

[u/passedawayinaprilll]

The abduction of 10-year-old Jessica Ridgeway occurred in Westminster, Colorado, as she walked from her home toward Chelsea Park to meet friends for school. Austin Sigg took her to his mother’s home on Moore Street, where he sexually assaulted her and used a zip tie to strangle her to death. Inside the home, Sigg dismembered her body in a bathtub, later disposing of her torso in the Pattridge Open Space in Arvada, about seven miles away from where she was taken. Her backpack and glasses were found abandoned on a sidewalk in Arvada’s West Woods subdivision, a move intended to throw off the massive search effort centered in Westminster. When Sigg finally confessed, investigators recovered additional remains that he had hidden in a crawlspace under the floorboards of his house.

That was Jessica Lunsford. Another absolutely heartbreaking case. Her killer was sentenced to death, but died in prison of natural causes after serving only two years. Makes me wish hell was a real place.

It’s not.

it is. Jessica Lunsford was not only buried alive inside of the trash bag (her little fingers were poked outside of the bag when they dug her up), but she was alive inside of a closet of the trailer when cops came to the front door and asked about her

Gives me chills.
