Steven Kelsey Does NOT Know How To Party
January 3, 2009 by Morbid
Steven and Jesika Kelsey
HIGHLAND TOWNSHIP - Talk about bringing in the New Year. While some of you were at your local bar bringing in 2009 with your tongue shoved in the mouth of a stranger, or possibly watching in abject horror as Dick Clark counted down from 10…Steven Kelsey, 19, was slitting his 17-year-old sister’s throat before having sex with her, ending the night by stabbing her in the eye in an attempt to get to her brain.
Steven was home after completing basic training at Fort Jackson where a party was being held to bring in the New Year. It is being reported that at around 3:30 a.m. New Years Day, while family and friends were celebrating, Steven attempted to have sex with his sister, Jesika. She reportedly refused his advances and that is when Steven stabbed her in the neck and had sex with her anyway. After finishing, he didn’t like seeing her suffer so that is when he decided a knife to the brain would end things quickly. But not for Jesika. Investigators report that he did not push the knife in far enough and that Jesika died a slow, horrific death.
Later that day, a backpack containing bloody knives and Steven’s identification was found in a dumpster. When police called Steven’s home, his mother informed them that he was out running errands. She then went to check on Jesika and found her dead in her room. Steven is not being charged with the sexual assault he admitted to, but has been charged with one count of first-degree murder and one count of felony murder. He is jailed without bond. Thanks for the heads up, Cynthia.

So he gets charged for murder and not rape so are we now deciding that we can only pick one charge at a time now? Being military myself and training in FT. Jackson, I can Guarantee that he was trained repeatedly about military punishment for sexual crimes which is almost if not equal to that of murder. I pray to God that the UMCJ (Uniform Code of Military Justice) nails his ass as well since soldiers can be charged both in normal court and then by the military!!!

That chain of events reads like a CSI episode.I am across from there and just had it breaking news here.I had hardtime watching it because it was his court arraignment today and his parents are in the room hearing the gruesome details fot the for the first time and were just sobbing,,i pray to god they dont become another Cindy & George Anthony and decide to stick with the sick freak of nature..RIP Jesika

He is definitely a psycho-path. Kills her and has sex as she dies…yeah, no doubt he is a real sick bastard. I am betting he molested his sister at some point, but I’m thinking years back. This kind of thing is so unimaginable. I can’t imagine what she must have been thinking in her last moments as she lay there dying and being raped by her own brother…sickens me.
And what of the parents. I wouldn’t even know where to begin with in coping with a tragedy of this magnitude. They lost both children, and under the circumstances, I just wouldn’t even know how to feel…they are probably numb from shock.
So beautiful…I hope you have found peace.
12:22 am on January 4th, 2009
Actually on news here about 1 hour ago the prosecutor in the court room said “he claimed he thought his sister was still alive when he had sex with her”So she was dead during rape
1:00 am on January 4th, 2009
He has sex with her after he stabbed her or thats what i read, so she was either dead or dieing during the rape. WTF!! he jabed her in the freakin eye and then has sex with her?? Fucking asswhipe sicko.
My heart goes out to the parents, I am so sorry you have to go through this, no parent should have to be were you are now.

1:45 am on January 4th, 2009
the way the prosecutor worded it was he THOUGHT she was alove during the rape but she was dead.I just went through the news web site and couldnt find written transcript of his court date today but prosector did say that.I will find it after they post it and ill post the addy then
1:47 am on January 4th, 2009
**alive
1:59 am on January 4th, 2009
The best lead paragraph I’ve ever read . . . anywhere.
2:11 am on January 4th, 2009
So I have to wonder, had he made advances before and not been rebuffed? I’m certainly not naive, but it seems strange to out of the blue decide that you just HAVE to get a little bit of your little sister.
2:59 am on January 4th, 2009
WHAT THE FUCK?????? DAMN, I am speechless!
Who wants to bet, his defense has to do with some sort of emotional damage he “suffered” at boot camp?
3:04 am on January 4th, 2009
I just watched news again and the Sherriff Hearns said that “Steven thought Jesika was still alive when he raped her” And this time they had their mother there in court talking afterwards (she didnt speak earlier) when asked “have you spoke to Steven”??She replied “no I havent and I dont intend to”
3:17 am on January 4th, 2009
Oh the emotions that mother must be going thru….my prayers are with her.
8:11 am on January 4th, 2009
Trailer park trash, what the hell…….. makes one wonder what was the lady doing rummaging thru the dumpster… and why in the hell would the brother have his ID in same bag as some bloody knives…. What a sicko.
I want to appoligise to the mother… these two kids, look nothing alike Are we sure they’re related
what I read … He slashed her neck raped her then stabbed her in her eye in hopes to reach her brain – she died a slow horrific death. I assume she was alive when he raped her. The video says he is cooperating… could be why there is no rape charges.
IMO… older brothers have this thing about teaching you a valuable lesson….. could it be … she claimed to be a virgin and he believed differently. could it be… there was evidence of sex but the dna didn’t match his, could of been another guy, maybe a friend of his or maybe someone he is not fond of…
If I was the mother I would want to hear what he had to say… then I would never return.
8:14 am on January 4th, 2009
I meant to say he……… wanted her to know he was displeased about it … I still will never understand why he wanted her DEAD.
8:28 am on January 4th, 2009
Good grief. This is in the county where I live. Of course, I haven’t had the news on since Christmas (if not earlier).
What kind of sicko makes advances toward a sibling? Yuck. And the poor family, I can’t even imagine the emotions they’ve got to be dealing with right now.

[...] Steven Kelsey Does NOT Know How To Party (excellent post) Brother Charged With Murder in Stabbing Death of Sister Highland Township teen faces two murder counts in sister’s slaying Soldier Says He Stabbed, Raped 17-year Old Sister Police: Brother stabbed, sexually assaulted sister [...]
11:57 am on January 4th, 2009
If she was alive when he was raping her, I pray to god she at least wasn’t conscious or aware.
In pictures where he has hair (instead of the boot camp buzz cut), they actually look quite a bit alike. I was wondering if maybe they were half-siblings and hadn’t been raised together, thereby removing some of the incest taboo in his mind, but it looks like they’re full siblings and were raised together. They were apparently sharing a room while he was home for the holidays, and I can’t imagine thinking THAT would be a good idea (vs. just having him sleep on the couch). On the other hand, I also can’t imagine thinking, “Woops! Better not let my grown son share a room with his 17 year-old sister, because he might get all horny and stabby!”
I would bet he’d molested her in the past. Or possibly, they’d been “curious” with each other when both were young (particularly if growing up in confined quarters like a single-wide, where it’s hard to have privacy). But I don’t think she’d willingly assented before and just rebuffed him this time. I think it’s more likely a case of him being possibly drunk and horny, seeing his sister in bed, and thinking, “Hell, why not?” Like some even more twisted form of date rape–a whole lot of guys just can’t believe a woman doesn’t want to have sex with him, or they think she doesn’t have the right to refuse sex with him. I don’t think he was “teaching her a lesson” for having sex with someone else, because why would he admit to having raped her, particularly knowing that the autopsy would clear that up pretty quickly?
I also think it’s quite likely that there is some kind of mental issue going on. A lot of mental conditions only start to show up around that age–when you should be starting the brightest, most promising years of your life, but instead start to fall apart. Especially if he was dealing with the rigors of boot camp, far away from his family support system. Not that that excuses him. On the contrary–if it’s something biologically wrong with him, it can’t be fixed, and he can’t say he won’t do it again. So all the more reason to just weed him out of the gene pool. If someone’s too stupid, or too unbalanced, to understand how to behave in society, they don’t need to be here.
12:11 pm on January 4th, 2009
WTF?! There must have been a lot of noise and a lot of partying going on @ 3:30 am for no one to hear a brutal rape and murder taking place! These parents just lost both of their kids…how sad.
3:56 pm on January 4th, 2009
I’m outraged he isn’t being charged with both!
Once again, one wonders about the army’s screening practices. Army training isn’t good for people who have psychotic fucking tendencies.
Wonder, are you meaning to suggest that not only did this asshat possibly kill his sister because she might not have been a virgin–a scenario that seems farfetched to me, as I doubt this asshat subscribes to Sharia law or something–but also to suggest that it would be sort of run of the mill to do so? Creepy. Let’s hope that’s not the case.
As for him maybe not having raped her, he did rape her–he confessed to it.
Me, I’m guessing he was always a little fucked up and being sent off to boot camp to play with knives, etc, wasn’t good medicine.
4:33 pm on January 4th, 2009
Sounds like a grade A sicko. Lock him up in the deepest darkest jail cell and never let him out
4:43 pm on January 4th, 2009
That picture of him is completely fugly but believe me when I saw him on the news(and its been on here 24/7 to the point family and friends are blogging at http://www.wxyz.com to have people stop talking about it)hes even fuglier!!He looks like a troll you would find in a scary storybook tale living under a bridge! I always thought there was a height requirement for the Army>>??Because hes a short little troll who will fit nicely into his boyfriends cot in prison!!
5:03 pm on January 4th, 2009
He is indeed fugly as heck. But I believe his lips meet the definition of “DSL,” so at least his cellmates will be happy.
5:27 pm on January 4th, 2009
Jesus. This story is positively disgusting. Not only is this sick perv a sister-fucker, he’s also not opposed to popping a cold one, as it were. Ew. And more ew.
I cannot imagine what this girl’s final moments must have been like. And how awful for the parents.
6:00 pm on January 4th, 2009
Creepy little bastard!
6:36 pm on January 4th, 2009
This is my first ever comment on this fantastic and brilliant blog!!! All I really have to say is this story is so incredibly Fucked up,disturbed and shocking!! Also I have to say I feel so sad for the poor parents, I hope in some way, eventually they will be able to find some peace after this horrible experience and loss.
6:41 pm on January 4th, 2009
I cannot even begin to fathom what their mother is going through… How do you get past something like this? The vast majority of parents would be devastated if their 17 year old died of natural causes, let alone raped and murdered by their other child…
7:31 pm on January 4th, 2009
ok let me start by saying that just because steven was in the army doesnt mean that he had mental issues that were a result of being in the army because it was not even like that…steven wanted to join the army for a long time…i guess you could call it his dream job and there is nothing wrong with that….he was a really good person that chose to make a very bad decision and most people that have posted comments probably dont know steven and are just going by what people have told them.i have known steven for many years and this was not how he usually would act…for the most part he was a gentle soul that wouldnt hurt someone without having good reasoning to do so.he is not an easy person to make mad…it would take alot to push him over the edge to the point of distruction.me and a few close friends of mine that knew steven really well know that behavior like this is not normal for him and another thing too is that many people say “he must of been drunk” well um there are other things that lead people to do bad things…so before you blame it on the alchohol find out your facts…one being that steven was not a big and or heavy drinker another being that nobody really knows what happened that night other than steven and jesika…people can assume but those are the only two people that know the real truth and heres another thought…the funeral hasent even took place yet,nore has the court date.so lets not jump to any conclusions until we find out details…and to jesikas family and friends i am so sorry that steven put you through all this and i hope that things will get better in the future and although the mouring process is hard and last forever i hope that you can find peace of mind in the good memories that you have from the past and the good memories that await you in the future
best of luck in the future…elephantlover
7:41 pm on January 4th, 2009
HAHAHAHAHA…………..that’s all I have to say. All I know is that I won’t remember him for all the good deeds that he’s done. What I’ll remember him most for is this. And that’s just sad. Welcome to the site elephantlover.
7:44 pm on January 4th, 2009
I knew this guy…I knew his whole family…. He never malested her in the past…this WAS random…very fucking random…he was always a nice kid…always I am fucking speachless because he was my friend…his sister was my friend and even his mom was my friend….and he was like a saint before he went into training…he wouldn’t do ANYTHING wrong he wouldn’t drink smoke weed and he would never solve anything with violence…now he gets out of Basic…and pull this shit….I’m fucking speachless I wish I could talk to him to find out wtf happend….seriously…if investigators want ME to talk to him to find out more…I could do that…..his mugshot makes him look creapy but he was a nice guy….what made him flip out…I have no idea…but I am depressed as hell to hear about this…and I give my best wishes to his and her mom and a message to steven….wtf happend….I didn’t even believe you did it when I first heard about it…this is not like u….this is fucked up
~James Gibson~
7:47 pm on January 4th, 2009
7:53 pm on January 4th, 2009
dude…I might know u….but what is really eating at me…is that if you know steven…there is a small chance that he didn’t even do it….. he was one of my greatest friends and this is the OPPOSITE of the way he was….. there has to be some missing info here….whats really getting me is that Steven WOULD be the type to admit to something he didn’t do…also…the backpack with the ID in it…..something about this doesn’t make sense……I seriously wish I could talk to him, because I’m still not understanding what would make him do this……not only was he non violent…but the steven I know would never “rape” any girl…he had respect for women that most guys didn’t have….he was the opposite of all of this…this is why I’m confused….and Jess dying….thats eating away at me…she was a great person… I wish someone he knew could talk to him and find out for all of his friends wtf happend….because if you were his friend, this is more than just a fucked up murder…this is something completely unexpected from him…
7:56 pm on January 4th, 2009
his little sister always treated him like an insignificant dog…..he was always a little weakling and she could beat his ass with out trying….if there is a motive to this…I’m guessing that its somewhere in this information
8:08 pm on January 4th, 2009
hey skulls you do know me
8:22 pm on January 4th, 2009
well what is your name…I am James Gibson I hung out with both Steven and Jess and am a friend of the family…they had one of my drawings on their fridge…lol… I wish I could talk to him dude…I don’t understand any of this…it makes no sense to me
8:33 pm on January 4th, 2009
Skulls, I know you are confused but dude, you went through all of the emotional stages of the death spectrum in 12 minutes (backwards but, hey)
Get yourself together admit he did it. If it was my friend I’d be upset too. Do yourself a favor, do not think of motives for him, you are setting yourself up for more emotional turmoil leave it to his lawyer to think of motive.
As a parent this has got to be the worst thing to ever have to deal with, I can’t think of anything remotely close. damn.
8:36 pm on January 4th, 2009
Please dont start out with the army in your first sentence,it makes you seem as though your trying to be sly and plant a seed in peoples thoughts.Because Steven wasnt in the army where he saw any battle!!He only did basic fucking boot camp o.k.Leave the post traumatic defense for those that truely saw horrible things over there and deserve the attention they need to heal !! I know you didnt come right out and say it but I saw the plan as soon as I read the first sentence.Completeing bootcamp and serving in the Army are 2 totally different worlds.If bootcamp made this guy flip then Id like to know what the hell they do in those 6 weeks that can take a normal kid and turn them into a monster like your insinuating??I cant see it being that bad that it takes a “normal nice quiet kid” as your describing him and turn him into a incestuouse murdering rapist.If that was the case then why arent more coming out of bootcamp and killing their sisters??
8:39 pm on January 4th, 2009
I was Jessikas friend as well….so to be honest I’m pissed….he’s safer in prison right now…….My consern is…even though he looks creapy and all….he was a fucking saint…he was a fucking good kid….you don’t understand because you didn’t know that family…but him and his sister were “tight” I hung out with him alot…and seriously…I really want to know what made him go crazy…thats going to confuse me whether I accept it or not
8:45 pm on January 4th, 2009
hey…he wasn’t a “quiet” kid at all…he talked alot…about normal things…and the only reason elaphant is saying that is because he WAS himself before he left…and after basic, the complete opposite of himself….and people that know his family are confused about this because steven was a “good kid” no joke…he actually did nice things for people alot…and was always nice to all the members of his family…and I’ve heard suggestions from people that didn’t know him saying “he might have been malesting her all along”…no….he was everything of a “good Person” until that night….that is why this is so confusing….before…he wouldn’t hurt a fly
9:07 pm on January 4th, 2009
Thank you for that, Whispers_Wing.
I was wondering how long it would take for somebody to trot this out. I almost started a pool, but I thought that would be in horribly bad taste so I didn’t. I had Sunday between 12:00 and 12:30 EST in mind; looks like I was off by seven hours and a minute.
I shall be blunt, elephantlover. If I was offered my choice between going through basic for the rest of my life and remembering some of the things I remember I would be at the recruiter’s office before the offer quit echoing in the room.
Shit. Time for my meds.

9:09 pm on January 4th, 2009
Hi,I came back because I know I was pissed and I just dont like being like that.I am sorry for what your going through and I know it must be confusing.But if thats the case,that he was normal when he went there then someone better check out what happened to him that “made him snap” or whatever you guys believe happened.I get upset over this stuff #1) I live right near there but on the Canadian side,#2)it just seems to be happening more and more on both sides of the border (evil events).But this one has really gripped everyone because its so heinous and I will guarentee over the next few days as this breaks its going to go global and be 100 xs worse so maybe you and your friends can just make a point of being there for the mom.I saw her sobbing and it broke my heart I cant imagine what shes going through.Shes going to really need moral support even for the small things.But please if you do decide to be there for her dont walk in and be defending of him or critical because shes going to flip -flop her emotions all over and only she has the right to do that as we have no clue what shes going through!!Shes just going to need people to help her function withouit having them drill her about everything,if you were friends with Jesika then let her know that and that you loved Jesika as a friend,OK?
9:40 pm on January 4th, 2009
My guess is that this guy has hid some issues from his friends and family for a long time.
It wouldn’t have mattered to me if I went to boot camp and was subsequently raped by Big Bird from Sesame Street while my grandmother gave me a blowjob…I still wouldn’t come back and fuck my sister.
Regardless, sorry you guys have to go through this…whatever the reasons. If my friend had committed these same acts, I’d be pretty confused as well, and probably trying to come up with any reason at all as to why he would have done something like this.
9:53 pm on January 4th, 2009
Probably, or it could be that his problems developed independently of though contemporaneously with basic training. Add a little booze, a little liberty, and the inhibitions came down.
Where’s the brain bleach? That image seems to be stuck in my head now.

I doubt the Army has anything to do with his raping/murdering his sister. He only went to boot camp, not combat. *rolls eyes* Apparently, the sister raper/killer was warped long before, years before… and he certainly doesn’t look like the sharpest tool in the shed. I bet he barely squeaked through high school. GED maybe?
Wow, you almost make it sound like this was an accident, not a conscience choice the sister raper/killer made. A really good person, a moral person, would never even think of doing what he did. He was never a good person. He was a sister lusting bastard, waiting for his chance to get what he wanted. When the time was right, he pounced. Nope, this was not an momentary lapse in bad judgement. This was down and down cold blooded murder with sexual torture, the final insult to degradation and fatal injury. That poor girl suffered. She knew she was dying.
Of course sister raper/killers don’t outwardly act like sister raper/killers to friends and family. They only get one chance to indulge in such loathsome behavior. Then it is too late. I really don’t think sister raper/killer had anger issues. So being a person not easily provoked by others doesn’t mean shit. He is a lustful coward who hid his shameful desires and evilness.
Gentle souls do not rape and murder, especially their own sisters. No, I do not think he was drunk. Sister raper/killer knew exactly what he was doing, what he had fantasized about all his life. He wanted it, he took it. No excuses, just lust and pure evil.
In closing, I would like to say, Steven Kelsey, sister raper/killer, is a fugly twisted fuck. Whatever the sister raper/killer was, or however nice and gentle he was perceived to be in the past, it was a facade. He deserves no support from any decent person now. No excuses, no defense. I hope his every day in prison is the hell he put his sister through. Soon his thick, rubbery lips will be wrapped around the dick of every Bubba and Big Brother in cell block D. He will know what it’s like to be humiliated and violated… only the abuse will be coming from his cellmates, not a family member who loved him. Then some day, hopefully not too soon, sister raper/killer will have his throat cut and his eye stabbed out while bent over the bunk and know that he is dying.
Bah!

That is definitely Miss Jesica’s picture for “sour patch kid”, but her profile is private. I don’t know about this being the “newest” MySpace since it hasn’t been logged into since February of 2008.
Looks pretty damn sparse.

11:21 pm on January 4th, 2009
Wow, you always hear crazy stories like this one and never believe that you actually walk the school hallways with them. I went to the same high school as Steven, I never knew him or talked to him but, I did work in the TIES progam. It was to help disabled students that have autism or social problems. I never helped steven but I do believe that he was one of the students in this program. I am not saying that this excuses any of this horriffic and disguisting behavior. But, reading the blogs of his friends who say that its weird that he did this and he was a good kid makes me think that coming home from boot camp could have mentally triggered something. Possibly some man power needs that he did not know how to control because of his disibility. I don’t know, its just some info on this creepy boy!
11:33 pm on January 4th, 2009
sorry what I meant to say was “how many wives havent noticed for yrs that their hubby is a serial rapist and murderer
7:09 am on January 5th, 2009
No one here thinks he had mental issues from being in bootcamp, that I can see. I do think that if people have preexisting mental issues–as he clearly must have had–then learning how to kill people doesn’t bode well for the future of the people around you.
I know this was or is your friend (still your friend??), and I’m sympathetic to your plight as such, Elephantlover, but he is not a good person if he did this. And if he did this, he did not just make a bad decision. He made several “bad decisions,” if you want to call them that. He stabbed his sister in the neck, he raped her, he shoved a knife into her head through her eye. And, for the record, as WhisperSwing points out, it may be helpful to you to know that knowing someone doesn’t mean you know how he acted all the time. Serial killers, for instance, as well as serial rapists and child molesters, carry on over the years without people close to them having any idea what’s going on.
I’m sorry to be blunt, but Jesika doesn’t know the truth. She’s dead. He knows the truth, and he confessed that he raped her…
Skulls, I’m sorry for what you’re going through.
Mmm, seriously, he would admit to raping his sister if he didn’t rape his sister? That seems psychotic in and of itself…well, a DNA test will clear this up for sure. I’d be thrilled if he didn’t do it, for sure, but it really doesn’t look good.
NONviolent? Maybe not violent in his typical personal life, but people who are into “nonviolence” as a practice do not join the army. The two things are apples and oranges…
WHOA, that is not a motive for raping, torturing (raping after throat-slitting), and murdering someone in a most heinous fashion. If this is what happened, then STEVEN is a whiny little pussy bitch dumbass. He was 19. She was 17. Siblings scrap and spar all the time, but when you get right down to it he was supposed to look out for her and be her big brother. She was his little sister. Fucking loser!
I’m sorry for Steven’s friends and most especially the parents. But I’m most sorry for Jessika. If he did this, and it sure looks like he did, he is fucking scum.
7:20 am on January 5th, 2009
I don’t know anyone involved in this story.
And I am not making excuses
That being said… alot of mental diseases develop during the late teens/early 20’s.
I almost hope that is what happened, the alternative means he is just demented.
Either way he never needs to see this side of a cell/padded room.
