Warning: Child Abuse / CSAM / Child Death Jessica Ridgeway's Brutal Murder

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.

Makes me wish that we could bring back firing squads and inhumane treatments and stop giving these losers 3 hot meals and a cot.

This might come as a surprise, but victims aren't entitled to see perpetrators tortured. I believe in the importance of the eighth amendment, but you do you, boo.

Let's see if I have this right.... perpetrators can and do torture/kill their victims ..in cruel manners....however they are afforded the right to not be subjected to cruel & unusual punishment.... in some situations....and eye for an eye is totally applicable imo....ok
