OMG …

It was a crime that was so heinous and unbelievable that many just sat back in horror when they had heard that missing Jessica Ridgeway’s body was found mutilated. All of us wondered what kind of sick and deranged SOB could have perpetrated such a savage crime. To our shock and dismay we learn it was a 17 year old. Police might have just arrested a potential serial killer in the making.

17 year old Austin Sigg has been arrested by police in the death of 10 year old Jessica Ridgeway. Austin Sigg was taken into custody after his mother had turned her son into police after she learned her son had involvement in the crime. Sigg had confessed to his mother that he killed Jessica Ridgeway. Let us remind everyone that there is no such thing as mother-son confidentiality when it comes to this going to court. Austin Reed Sigg was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of two counts of first-degree murder, one count of second-degree kidnapping and two counts of criminal attempts.

The charges against Sigg are for Jessica’s death and for the alleged attempted abduction of a jogger in May 2012.

Sigg will appear in Jefferson County Court later this morning for his initial appearance. The district attorney says he plans on charging Sigg as an adult.

Investigators scoured the Westminster, Colo., home overnight where Sigg lives with his mother. FBI agents combed the backyard for clues and towed away his car.
