Dumbest Teens Ever Laugh at Attempted Murder Charges | Isabelle Valdez & Lois Lippert

An anonymous tip through the Fortify Florida app warned Lake Brantley High School officials that 15-year-old Isabelle Valdez (who sometimes used the name Jimmy) planned to murder a student the following day. Police initially questioned Isabelle, who denied contact with the target and gaslighted officers about her confiscated phone, leading them to initially take her word.

The tipster mentioned 'Jimmy' and a plan to 'kill someone we know from school by the name of Redacted.' Isabelle's phone was already confiscated from a prior swatting investigation.

The next day, investigators pulled Isabelle from class, where she confessed to planning a murder. She revealed a handwritten letter for her parents and a 'murderer's kit' in her backpack, containing knives, gloves, trash bags, and wipes. Her plan was to stab the victim multiple times or slit his throat in an upstairs bathroom.

Isabelle stated she had a handwritten letter and that her backpack contained 'multiple different things that were needed to carry out this perfect murder. Knives, gloves, trash bags, wipes, a murderer's kit.' She then showed the contents to investigators.

Isabelle's motivation was a twisted admiration for Sandy Hook shooter Adam Lanza. She believed that if she sacrificed a student who resembled Lanza, the voices in her head told her that she and the 'real Adam' would create a blood pact, bringing him back to life.

Isabelle claimed the student 'resembled the Sandy Hook elementary school shooter, Adam Lanza.' She 'admired Adam so much so that she believed that the voices in her head were telling her the truth when they allegedly told her that if she sacrificed the student… she and the real Adam would create a blood pact and he would be brought back to life.'

Isabelle implicated her best friend, 14-year-old Lois Liippard, who knew the entire plan, lent Isabelle a phone, and reportedly helped sharpen the 12-inch blade. Lois was arrested simultaneously and, like Isabelle, showed no panic or remorse, treating the situation casually.

Isabelle told police she had told Lois 'everything.' Lois was 'on the hook for this attempted murder as well.' Lois 'not only had knowledge of it and didn't report it, but she also gave her a phone to help her follow through with her plan.' Lois 'reportedly helped sharpen the 12in blade that was going to be used on the student.'

During transport in the same police car, both girls were recorded laughing, giggling, and joking about their arrest. They discussed their mugshots, prison life, and even expressed regret only that they hadn't completed the murder in the morning before being intercepted. They found the situation a 'bonding experience.'

Bodycam footage shows the girls 'giggling and laughing about something' (25:44), 'laughing about how the cops were going to go through the victim's phone' (27:31), joking about 'the relationship that they will have in prison together' (33:53), and Isabelle stating, 'I should have done it in the morning' (47:35). Lois declared, 'This is such a bonding experience' (50:48).

Isabelle's handwritten letter to her parents, intended to be found after the murder, expressed love and regret for being a 'disgusting, cruel, and useless' child, but also reaffirmed her devotion to Adam Lanza and her belief in the blood pact. This contrasted sharply with her unremorseful demeanor in the police car.

Isabelle wrote, 'I chose to do this by myself, for myself and Adam Lanza. They told me that Adam would come back to speak to me if I did this for him. Adam Lanza wanted it. I think it's a fair and beautiful sense of devotion on my behalf. I love Adam Lanza. We're soulmates just waiting to be reunited once more.' She also wrote, 'I'm sorry for hurting you and I deserve what's coming for me as I am also disgusting, cruel, and useless.'

The host observes a significant uptick in teen violence, suggesting that beyond mental disturbance, a desire for notoriety, influenced by social media and the 'glamorization' of true crime, might motivate some young offenders. They cite Aiden Fucci's case (Snapchatting from a cop car after murder) as a parallel example of this phenomenon.

The host states, 'There has been such an uptick in teen violence... it somehow is involving that piece of it, the virality of it or the notoriety that gets involved or that they think that they will receive from it because they see true crime kind of glamorized in a way.' (59:20) They referenced Aiden Fucci 'Snapchatting selfies being like, 'Tristan, I'm in the back of a cop car right now.'' (58:47)
