Jessica Ridgeway

Jessica Ridgeway was an American girl who, at the age of 10, was kidnapped in Westminster, Colorado, and murdered by Austin Sigg (born January 17, 1995) on October 5, 2012. Her dismembered body was found five days later. Sigg was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder in November 2013

Abduction
On October 5, 2012, Jessica was as she was walking to school and was to meet a couple of friends in a local park where they would then walk together the rest of the way to school. However, Jessica never arrived at Chelsea Park and she never arrived at school.

A man named Austin Siigg found Jessica walking to school. He lunged from the back seat of his Jeep and grabbed her. Siggs pulled her into the back seat and bound her feet and hands with zip ties. Trapped in Austin Sigg's bedroom, Jessica repeatedly asked him if she was going to see her mother again. He promised her she would as he cut her hair and forced her to change clothes. Then he wrapped his hands around her neck, strangled, and dismembered her.

Two days later, her school backpack, containing her glasses, was found on a sidewalk. On October 10, her dismembered remains were found in a park in Arvada.

Siggs was arrested after his mom called police on Oct. 23, 2012, when Siggs confessed to her that he had abducted and killed Jessica. He didn't admit to sexually assaulting her, but evidence of sexual assault was later discovered.
