Benton County Couple Charged With Torture Death Of 4-Year-Old Girl

Posted By: Nicole Rodriguez December 22, 2020 @ 9:14 am Local News, News COLE CAMP, Mo. (AP) A 4-year-old girl died after being dunked in an icy pond and beaten by two neighbors who claimed it was necessary to remove a “demon,” a Missouri sheriff said Tuesday. Ethan Mast, 35, and Kourtney Aumen, 21, are charged with second-degree murder, sexual abuse and three counts of assault. Both are jailed without bond and don’t yet have attorneys, according to court records. “Based on what I know, I think this could be some kind of honest-to-goodness religious-type episode,” Benton County Sheriff Eric Knox said in a phone interview. The suspects and the victimized family belonged to the same church, but Knox declined to name the church or its denomination.
