What happened to Cassie Jo Stoddart?
On the night of September 22, 2006, Cassie was house-sitting on Whispering Cliffs Drive in Bannock County.
The 16-year-old was looking after her aunt and uncle's home for the weekend.
Her boyfriend Matt visited her at around 6 PM and later fellow students, Brian Draper and Torey Adamcik, also 16, paid a visit.
The two boys went to "hang out" with Cassie who gave them a tour of the house.

The teens then watched Kill Bill, Volume II, but Draper and Adamcik left early, claiming that they wanted to watch a movie at the local cinema.
Before leaving, they unlocked the basement door so that they could easily re-enter the house later in the night.
When they returned to the house, they were wearing dark clothing, gloves, and white-painted masks.
They re-entered the basement making loud noises to try and catch Cassie and Matt's attention before turning off the power at the circuit breaker.
But the couple didn't appear bothered and the boys turned the power back on.
However, Matt noticed that one of the dogs kept growling and looking at the basement and wanted to stay the night so she would feel safer.
Cassie's boyfriend wanted to stay the night with her so that she would feel safe, but his mother didn't let him and picked him up at around 10:30 PM.
She offered Cassie a bed for the night, but the teen felt responsible for the house and chose to remain.
Matt then phoned his pals, but because they were whispering, he assumed that they were in the cinema and couldn't speak.
After he left, Draper and Adamcik hoped that Cassie would finally head down to the basement to investigate the lights, but when she didn't they headed upstairs.
Draper was armed with a dagger-type weapon and Adamcik with a hunting knife.
Draper slammed a closet door to scare Cassie and stabbed her around 30 times with 12 of the wounds being potentially fatal.
Where are Brian Draper and Torey Adamcik now?
At the trial, it was found that Draper and Adamcik had videotaped the plan to murder Cassie.
Adamcik later admitted that he was inspired by the horror film Scream.
Draper was convicted on April 18, 2007, with the verdict on Adamcik coming on June 8, 2007.
They were convicted of first-degree murder and received a mandatory sentence of life imprisonment without any possibility of parole and 30 years to life for conspiracy to murder.
