Podcast cover

Isabelle Valdez and Lois Lippert plotted to murder a 15-year-old classmate in a school bathroom, intending to use the act to resurrect Sandy Hook shooter Adam Lanza. The scheme, fueled by an obsession with school shooters and the online True Crime Community, was thwarted by a courageous anonymous tip. Damning evidence from a 36-minute police car recording captures the girls discussing the failed plot with chilling indifference, giggling about their actions, and complaining about their treatment while in custody. Both teenagers face attempted murder charges and are being tried as adults, with a judge denying bail due to their lack of remorse and clear danger to the community. While Valdez later expressed remorse in a letter to the court, the case highlights the disturbing intersection of online radicalization, severe mental health struggles, and the dangerous glorification of violence among youth.
