Between the late evening hours Friday night and early morning Saturday, two teenagers and their 21-year-old friend allegedly conspired and carried out a brutal bludgeoning murder in Fruita.
According to the arrest affidavit, Sarah Bess, 18, and her fiance, Weston Owen, 18, had been living with the 62-year-old victim, who was identified in court Monday afternoon as Bess’s uncle. Bess and the victim had been out at a local bar Friday night with Owen who was the designated driver.
Interviews with Bess and Owen summarized in the affidavit offer conflicting reports on what happened on the drive home from the bar, but the victim allegedly made a move or motion that Owen took as an advance on Bess.
After they returned to the residence, the victim went to sleep and Owen called his friend Kellar Weisgerber, 21, to help “teach (the victim) a lesson,” according to the affidavit. Bess also allegedly sent messages through Snapchat, which automatically delete after a short period of time, to another person asking how to torture and murder someone.
