"I love you and I'm going to bed" were the last words Elyse Pahler ever said to her parents. But she would never dream again, for the pretty blonde 15-year-old was about to begin a waking nightmare that would end in her grisly stabbing murder.
Later that night Elyse slipped out of her parents' house for a bit of forbidden fun. She never suspected that three local boys - two of whom rode the school bus with her - were outside waiting . . . to perform a human sacrifice in the name of Satan.
The DA claims that the teenagers, all in a band called Hatred, believed they had found the ultimate sacrifice - an innocent young girl, a virgin. Prosecutors say they dragged Elyse to a secluded area they believed was the devil's altar, where she died of multiple stab wounds.
