Later that night Elyse slipped out of her parent's 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 in the dark waiting...waiting to perform a human sacrifice - in the name of Satan.
Teenagers Royce Casey, Jacob Delashmutt and Joe Fiorella - all in a band called Hatred - dragged terrified Elyse to a deserted area they believed was the devil's altar, where, after being drugged, tortured and raped, she died of multiple stab wounds.
For eight months Elyse's body lay hidden in a eucalyptus grove until an unexpected tip to police revealed the ghastly crime.
The DA claims that teenagers believed they had found the ultimate offering to make to the Prince of Darkness. They would sacrifice an innocent young girl, a virgin. Elyse was that girl. Elyse was their sacrifice.
In The Name of Satan is a harrowing account of an American tragedy. It will stay with you for quite some time.
Disturbing reading.
