"Day 3 after murdering somebody": 16-year-old Sierra Halseth and her 18-year-old boyfriend filmed themselves joking after her father was found dead.
In the video below, Inside Edition shows the clip police found on Sierra's phone.
Daniel Halseth, 45, didn't approve of his daughter dating Aaron Guerrero. When the families found out the teens planned to run away together, both sets of parents stopped them from seeing each other.
On April 9, 2021, Daniel's burned body was found in the garage of his Las Vegas home. He had been stabbed and cut 70 times. Prosecutors said the teens had bought a circular saw, bleach and lighter fluid before the killing, then fled in his car. They were arrested 4 days later in Salt Lake City.
On the video from Sierra's phone, Guerrero jokes about murder and Sierra tells him not to put that on camera.
At sentencing, Sierra claimed her father had abused her sexually and physically. Her own lawyer said the evidence didn't allow him to confirm all of those claims. Guerrero apologized to Daniel's family. Both pleaded guilty and were sentenced to life with parole possible after 22 years.
1 forbidden romance, 70 wounds, 22 years to life.
Was she a victim who snapped, or a teenager who killed so she could run off with her boyfriend?
