Ten years after the release of the horror classic Scream, the film served as the disturbing inspiration for the gruesome murder of 16-year-old Cassie Jo Stoddart. Hired to house sit for family members, the teen was killed in a quiet country home in Pocatello, Idaho. Tucked away out of view from neighbors, Cassie's attackers saw her as the perfect target. Sixteen years ago this week, Cassie Jo Stoddart died in a scene straight out of a scary movie, at the hands of perpetrators who likened themselves to some of America's most infamous serial killers.

Writing and research by Aurora Cady.
