Two 13-Year-Old Boys Charged With Murdering Elderly Woman With Hatchet

September 24, 2012 at 12:59 pm by Morbid

SHEBOYGAN FALLS , WI – Police have charged two juveniles with murder after they say the teens used a hatchet and hammer to murder one of the boy’s great-grandmother.

Last week the body of 78-year-old Barbara Olsen was discovered lying in a pool of blood inside her garage. At the time police were calling the death “particularly violent” and that they had two juveniles in custody; her great grandson and his friend. Now that the criminal complaint has been released, the disturbing details of what happened to Olsen have been revealed.

According to 13-year-old Nathan Paape’s admission, he and 13-year-old Antonio Barbeau went to the home of Antonio’s great mother to kill her and steal some money. They got a ride to her home from Nathan’s mother, concealing a hammer and hatchet they brought along with them. After entering Olsen’s home through an unlocked side door attached to the garage, they encountered Olsen.

Olsen told Antonio that she was calling his mother, but when she turned around to do so, Antonio struck her in the back of the head with the blunt end of the hatchet. After she fell on the ground, she tried protecting herself with her hands while begging Antonio to stop as he struck her with the hatchet’s blunt end a couple more times. Nathan then joined in and struck Olsen in the head with the hammer.

Hopefully dead by that point, Antonio then used the bladed end of the hatchet to strike Olsen. Nathan told police it got stuck in Olsen’s head and it took both boys to pull it free. After confirming she was dead, the boys tried loading her body inside her car’s trunk, but were unable to do so. They went through the house and took jewelry, Olsen’s purse and other items before getting in her car and driving away from the scene.

From there they went to a bowling alley parking lot where they ditched the car and walked across to street and ate pizza. Afterwards they placed some jewelry in the backseat of the car and left it unlocked with the keys in the ignition in hopes of someone stealing it and being blamed for Olsen’s murder. When Antonio was later questioned at the juvenile detention facility he had been placed on Tuesday for an unrelated incident, he first denied any involvement but then admitted his role and confirmed the details in Nathan’s confession.

Using the info given by the boys, search warrants were issued and investigators found Olsen’s purse in a storm drain near Nathan’s house. Blood-splattered items from Olsen’s home, as well bloody clothing, were found inside Nathan’s house. In the trunk of Olsen’s vehicle police found the hatchet and hammer the boys used, along with a crocheted throw with bits of human flesh on it. On the floor of the front seat they would find a school paper with the name “Nate” written on it. Blood-spattered shoes were found in Antonio’s locker.

The boys next court date is set for October 2 where they will answer to charges of fist degree homicide. They are facing life in prison if convicted and from the details we have now, it doesn’t seem like prosecutors have a tough job in front of them.

And just like that–although he was in no way involved–Justin Bieber is suddenly that much more annoying.

i have hair like that antonio kid wow but mine is longer

Man, I can understand one young psychopath, but two unrelated psychopaths growing up together…
Athena

The second kid, whichever one that may be, is not necessarily a psychopath. Peer pressure is an extremely strong motivator at this age, and if a kid has poor enough self-esteem, he or she can be convinced to participate in just about anything.

So we killed Grandma, got to drive a car to the bowling alley, oh yeah and a slice of pizza. = the rest of life in prison. Yep – worth it.

Ugh. “Afterwards they placed some jewelry in the backseat of the car and left it unlocked with the keys in the ignition in hopes of someone stealing it and being blamed for Olsen’s murder.”

Probably left it in decent lighting so anyone who was looking for a little GTA could see the blood stains on and in the car which was good enough deterrent. For the failed attempt of stuffing Great-Granny in the trunk may have left some blood on the outside and could be possible that they left blood on the car seats due to stained attire.

Dunno if he’s bad seed or a product of parents being ‘friends’ instead of actually being parents…could be six of a kind, half dozen of another.

Children should come with a return policy.

have to say i’m a little shocked that DD put the kid’s picture up here given his young age.
newstarshipsmell

Yet another case of dumb schoolkids leaving their homework at the crime scene… Youth these days, I tell ya’… youth.

Anyways, should I being the annoying smart-ass to start cracking jokes about “Antonio’s great mother” or should I leave that to abler hands?
Shar G’z

it’s a little shocking that DD decided to put the little fucker’s picture up given his age and everything.

…thanks for sharing -_-

Anyone with that bad of a haircut deserves to get his picture published. Besides the fact he took a HATCHET to his great-grandmother and ate pizza afterwards.

YES! Two down 3 to go and OneDirection can be erased fromthe face of Earth!

Sadly it seems raising a child with a back bone is far harder in today’s society, with all the PC bullshit. Peer pressure is a bitch excuse for a lack of reasoning abilities, or lack of parenting. I had no over sight as a teen, while I might not of known how to really weigh consequences vs actions, I did how ever know damn well what would get my ass beat when I got home.

While murder & robbery were never mentioned specifically , I always kinda assumed that was covered when porn,smoking, ditching class,or sarcasm would get you a black eye.
newstarshipsmell

I don’t think we understood what you mean, either the first or second time. Do you think you could post the same comment a third time too? ;p
AssWho?

Come to think of it I still fear my mother more then the cops or jail to this day. I remember one time after bring brought home by the local PD, my mother smacked me so hard..I turned to the cop as was like WTF? I remember him saying ” You have a good night mam” as he chuckled got in his car and left.
come_and_see

I told my mother to go fuck herself when I was 13-14 and she slammed the door on my finger and I had to tell the doctor I broke it during football. Trust me after that I learned.
dropthepuck

Hahaha, I was thinking the same thing too. I was also thinking the POS demon seed viciously beat his great-grandmother to death and they’re worried about his picture being posted? The Wisconsin news sites have published the picture. Fuck young age.

From what? Jizz showers?

I can not believe that you know who they are.

Makes me think of little Nicky.

So as soon as this kids mother willingly drops them off the grandmother shits her depends and goes to call her? Perhaps the bitch got what she deserved. Far more romantic an idea than assuming the kid is just a horrible little asshole. A kid going psycho and killing doesn’t mean he is a heartless maniac but hey fuck it, lets assume so. Now with that if he does deserve a sympathetic ear do we then cast lighter judgment on his young life? Quite honestly, I wish by some miracle, the two little rascals had gotten away with it. I mean lets face it, women can be real bitches, haha.

That post just made the “Top 10 Dumbest Things Ever Said on the Internet” list. Congrats!

I don’t think it has much at all to do with PC bullshit. Physically disciplining children has been statistically proven to be an inferior form of discipline. In fact, multiple studies have found that children who are hit as the result of bad behavior are more likely to strike out physically against others.

That doesn’t mean kids can’t or shouldn’t fear their parents. My dad scared the crap out of me without having to lay a hand on me. But that’s part of it: I had a dad. And that dad didn’t live out of state, or across town, or even next door. He lived across the hall, and if I stepped out of line, he was so far up my ass with a booming voice and manual labor, there was no question about the authority in my house.

Of course, that was a different time. My family didn’t have a FUCKING television in every goddamn room. My mom wasn’t busy on her laptop or texting, because those didn’t really exist, yet (I’m 30). We are distracted. We are distracted on a level unrivaled by any point in human history. We are distracted from the most important thing in our life (our family) by an endless stream petty bullshit. Farmville. The Kardashians. Honey fucking Boo Boo. This app. That app. The other cocksucking, motherfucking app.

A lack of parenting? Yeah… we can agree on that point. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to watch a bunch of men get paid millions to throw a ball on my 60″ plasma.

With all the shit we post here, you think we care about reposting two dipshits’ pictures that are on almost every news network?

Looking at their eyes, both kids look totally, totally stoned. Or maybe it’s just the dull sheen of insanity I’m seeing.

First it was the kid that killed a 5 year old girl and put her body in a bin, now it’s this creep. What is with the Bieber hairdos?!

This made me throw up when i read it for the first time . i am very close with my grandma and to read about these little fuckers EATING GODDAM PIZZA!!!! WHAT the fuck is wrong with kids thhese days life isnt grand theif auto for christ sake.the only remorse i see in this little bastards face is that he got caught!! is sumthing up with 13 year old psychopaths this year bc this is the 3 rd or 4th kid to do sum super viloent shit but by far i think these little fuckers take the cake. it reminds me off a book called “Little Girls Lost” about two teenage girl that brutally murdered an elderly woman just for kicks and these girls had hard lifes and they were not as horrific as these two waste of air. im sorry but i dont give a damn if they are only 13 lock their sick lil asses up and throw away the keys there is NO FIXING Them and
btw mr asshat that said all this shit about women being bitches and that the old lady got what she deserved go crawl back under the fucking rock u crawled out of D’D doesnt take to kindly on victim bashing and honestly u sound like u r as fucked up as these lil fucks are
Andyman

Very well said. My dad very seldom ever his us. As a matter of fact I can think of maybe four times in my life that I probably needed and deserved it. He could scare the hell out of me by just raising his voice. I think kids need a father figure and a stern one at that – not a friend. You parents, if they’re doing their job properly act as parents and discipline when needed. Mine did and I’m all the better off because of it.

U know what u seem just as fucked as these kids do…u know what u do if ur 78year old great grandma shits herself……. U GODDAM HELP HER GET CLEANED UP!!!! not chop her up like fucking kindling!!!! hate women much u waste of flesh??? why dont u go take a hatchet to ur own fucking head u piece of shit!!
http://www.facebook.com/beckygalindo84 Rebecca Lynn Galindo

And women can be bitches was that why u wrote this to see how many women u coukd piss off while hiding behind some lameass screen name go fuck off and die jackass
http://www.facebook.com/beckygalindo84 Rebecca Lynn Galindo

Agreed i fear my mother more then the police and she has been gone for almost 6 years now the wonderful saying i brought u into this world and i can takr u out has ALWAYS put the fear in me
http://www.facebook.com/beckygalindo84 Rebecca Lynn Galindo

If it that is the case here both need to b tried and charged the same. At 13 u know this is wrong i dont care how shitty of a life u had it doesnt justify thier actions look at sylvia likens a murder in 1964 where all the neighbor hood kids beat a girl to death bc everyone else was doing so too most of those kids/teenagers admit to knowing what they were doing was wrong.Peer pressure can b a bitch but it doesnt mean the other child didnt know it was wrong. this case sounds premedatated all the way around and the both show remorse for being caught not for killing an old woman
RachelAnnPrince

Make it to 78 only to be snuffed out by your hatchet wielding hell-midget and his bastard ass friend!

What’s up with that hair-do?
Alisha

Nobody DESERVES to be bludgeoned to death. Only psychopaths can sympathize with murderers.
AssWho?

Agree, I wasn’t beat on a daily basis, a more accurate description is in a couple of instances I was HIT, not beaten. It only happened when I had generally done something very stupid, dangerous, or expensive. A lot of the time it was all three at the same instant. However the fear/impression that those couple of left hooks left was more then enough to instill in my subconscious that it was a option, and she was willing to use it. (maybe a good side note is my mom was single with 3 boys and a girl)

These 2 punks need to be locked up and then they need to throw away the key

So im guessing the hatchet may or may not have to do with the fact that they’re fucking juggalos? am i the only one who clicked on this because it said hatchet? :/

I wonder if he’s on antidepressants. They screw with people’s minds so badly. Usually the violence is turned inward, but it can be turned outward too. I’m not making excuses for the kid, but I AM damning the pharmaceutical industry because they KNOW they are marketing a product that destroys the brains of kids and they are allowing anyone with a medical or nurse practitioner/prescriber license to hand them out like candy with little if any follow up. ONLY PSYCHIATRISTS should prescribe psycho-active medication and the follow-up should be STRICTLY CONTROLLED! THEY (pharma and negligent docs) are as guilty as anyone …if not in this case, definitely in MANY MANY others. And I say this is a medical professional.
