SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. – In a significant development in an attempted murder case, News 6 has obtained new artwork and body-camera footage linked to the arrests of two teenage girls earlier this year.
The footage, recently made public, captures the moments when Lois Lippert, 14, and Isabelle Valdez, 15, were apprehended by authorities at their school on January 23. The two girls are known to be best friends.
According to the report, an anonymous tip had warned about a student allegedly planning to harm another student, whose name has been withheld. The tip identified the suspect as “Jimmy,” who was later revealed by investigators to be Valdez.
Law enforcement officials pulled the girls out of their classes to question them. During the interrogation, Valdez reportedly denied having any knowledge related to the tip, according to police statements.
Additional footage, released this month, shows the girls laughing in the back of the police vehicle shortly after their arrest. They were heard discussing how someone had informed law enforcement about their alleged plot.
Additional footage released this month shows the pair laughing shortly after being placed in the rear of the vehicle, as well as discussing the situation that led to their arrest — specifically, that someone “snitched” to law enforcement.
“Oh, my (expletive) god. I knew I shouldn’t have told him,” Valdez can be heard saying after their arrest. “’Cuz he was like, ‘OK, can you please tell me? I can’t sleep tonight.’ (Expletive) you!”
Court documents filed earlier this month also show that Valdez was obsessed with Sandy Hook shooter Adam Lanza, which ties into the murder plot itself.
“It was learned that the victim reminded (Valdez) of Adam Lanza and that she believed if she killed the victim, she would have a blood bond with Adam Lanza, which would resurrect him from the dead,” one motion reads.
Valdez also claimed that she planned to wait for the victim in the restroom, stab him in the stomach or cut his throat, leave flowers at the scene, and smoke a cigarette afterward, investigators reported.
Investigators also said that Lippert had drawn a number of sketches showing the victim dead on the floor next to Valdez, the victim hanging with a rope around his neck, and several sexually explicit depictions involving the victim. News 6 obtained some of these materials on Thursday.

Ultimately, though, both Valdez and Lippert were arrested and each face charges of attempted first-degree murder and possession of a weapon on school property.
Portions of Valdez and Lippert’s conversation from the back of the patrol car were included in the motion, which reads as follows:
“Valdez told Lippert that they could become one of the lesbian couples in jail. Lippert replied yea, you can be the butch, Valdez replied, hey this is my (expletive), stay away.
Valdez asked Lippert`s if she was trying to look good for her mugshot. Lippert replied, (espletive) and I`m going to get a mugshot. Valdez replied well yea we are going to jail. What do you think?
Valdez told Lippert that she was going to use makeup this morning for her mugshot, but she could not find anything. Lippert replied, I`m glad I don`t look too bad today. Valdez replied, I look horrible. Valdez then said. It`s over, Lippert replied yea, it`s over. It doesn`t matter if you look good or not.
Valdez then replied, At least they will see me in the mugshot some way or another. Valdez then stated hey we were supposed to spread our story around the TCC, (True Crime Community) . . .
Valdez replied, I thought I would go to a psych ward, that`s why I was so excited about everything, I would be so jolly, going to jail, Lippert replied, You were wording it like you were going to a psych ward. Valdez said, I know. Valdez then stated, I should have told them other (expletive), like they were asking her about the swatting incident. Valdez stated she started crying, hoping law enforcement would feel bad and send her to the psych ward.”
In addition, prosecutors discussed a conversation on the social media platform Discord in which Valdez sent the following messages to Lippert:
— “its gonna be over by tomorrow”
— “if you have some gloves, bring them for me”
— “bring latex ones”
— im bringing a trash bag, wipes, and some other things”
— “im going to go away anyways, i have incriminating shit on the phone”
— “holy shit im gonna make a blood ritual for adam lanza LMAOOOO last blook for saint adam”
— “everyone who prayed on my downfall is getting their wash”
— “im mgonna do it with [REDACTED]
— “i hugged my parents extra tight today i feel kinda bad for whats coming”
— “he was at fault because he never got [REDACTED] talk to me! !! if i had him i wouldn’t have been like this!!! WHY [REDACTED] WHY! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
— “i need to break my hard drive later”
— “do you have an extra white shirt that i could use?”
During a hearing last week, a judge ruled there was too much of a danger to the community for the two girls to be released on bond.
Both Valdez and Lippert have entered not-guilty pleas. A hearing has been scheduled for April in each case.
