Two teenage girls from high school have found themselves at the center of a chilling incident. They are accused of plotting to fatally stab a fellow student, and shockingly, were seen laughing and discussing their mugshot makeup while in the back of a police vehicle. This unsettling behavior unfolded during their arrest in January.

“This is such a bonding experience,” 14-year-old Lois Lippert reportedly remarked to her friend Isabelle Valdez, 15, as they sat together in the police car. The exchange, captured on video, has added a disturbing layer to the case.

Portions of the footage, in which the teens squealed with excitement over their arrest, were reportedly released by the Office of the State Attorney 18th Judicial Circuit and published by news outlets such as WKMG News 6. The footage was also quoted in a motion for pretrial detention document reviewed by .

On February 3rd, both Valdez and Lippert were taken to the Seminole County Jail, facing serious charges including attempted first-degree premeditated murder and possession of a weapon on school premises. According to ABC News, the pair have entered pleas of not guilty to these accusations.

Remarkably, Valdez was heard saying, “I was going to do my makeup this morning for the mugshot, but I couldn’t find anything,” suggesting a nonchalant attitude towards their situation. She further commented, “I don’t feel guilty for my actions,” which has drawn significant attention.

During a recent court hearing, this conversation was described as “sociopathic” by a prosecutor as the footage was presented, highlighting the gravity of their alleged plans. This case, covered by KATV Channel 7, continues to unfold with intense scrutiny and public interest.

A prosecutor called the alleged conversation “sociopathic” as the footage played in a recent court hearing, according to KATV Channel 7.

The girls allegedly planned a “blood ritual” that involved killing a classmate at Lake Brantley High School in Altamonte Springs, according to the motion for pretrial detention document, in part because he allegedly reminded Valdez of Sandy Hook Elementary School shooter Adam Lanza. 

Other parts of Valdez and Lippert’s alleged conversation—including their desire to start a romantic relationship with each other in prison—were quoted in the motion. 

In the car, Valdez allegedly asked Lippert if she “was trying to look good for her mugshot” with Lippert responding at one point, “I’m glad I don’t look too bad today.” 

Added Valdez, “I look horrible,” to which Lippert replied, “Yeah, it’s over. It doesn’t matter if you look good or not.” 

The alleged plot came to light on Jan. 22 when police received an anonymous tip through the school safety app FortifyFl, according to a police affidavit reviewed by Oxygen. The tip alleged that someone, who police later identified as Valdez, planned to kill somebody at school. While planning the alleged murder, read the motion, Valdez enlisted the help of Lippert.

Valdez admitted to police, as cited in the motion for detention document, that she, after memorizing the victim’s class schedule, followed him around campus and secretly photographed him.  

She planned to wait for the victim outside the boys’ bathroom, Valdez stated in the affidavit, and push him into a stall to “stab him or slice his throat” with a 12-inch knife—which Lippert allegedly helped sharpen—while the motion stated that she planned to muffle his screams with a microfiber towel.  

Lippert participated in the plan, Valdez told police in the affidavit, by bringing flowers to the bathroom for the victim’s funeral, along with gloves, cigarettes and a lighter. Lippert also allegedly drew “graphic and disturbing” sketches of the victim, per the motion, that depicted him lying on the floor next to Valdez, hanging from a rope and in a sexual context.   

In alleged Discord messages from Valdez to Lippert that were quoted in the motion, she wrote, “It’s gonna be over by tomorrow” and “I’m gonna make a blood ritual for Adam Lanza.” 

Valdez also allegedly wrote, “If I had him, I wouldn’t have been like this!!!!”

Spokespeople from Lake Brantley High School and Seminole County Public Schools did not immediately return requests for comment from Oxygen.  

Meanwhile, Valdez’s attorney Edward Lopez has spoken out.

“We recognize the significant public interest in this matter and understand the community’s concern,” he said in a statement to Oxygen. “As with any individual accused of a crime, our client is entitled to the presumption of innocence and to a fair, thorough, and unbiased legal process.” 

“Trying this case through the media serves no one,” Lopez added, “and denigrates the legal process.” 

An attorney for Lippert did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Oxygen. The teens next appear in court on April 29.
