Elizabeth Amirian was stabbed to death by her BF

Elizabeth "Bipsy" Amirian illustrated her dreams through her music.

She showed her deeply spiritual side, spoke of playing her songs at her wedding and said she planned to release an album.

But now her music will only live on through her MySpace page and YouTube.

Miss Amirian, 27, of Temecula, was killed Thursday afternoon on the third level of the parking garage at The Promenade mall in Temecula after police said she was stabbed in a mini-van.

Miss Amirian was a rising singer and piano player of spiritual and pop music at local coffeehouses after working as a barista at the now-closed Java Joz and Cuppy's Coffeehouse in Murrieta.


She was known as "Bipsy," said Bill Gould, concert promoter with Murrieta-based Full Value Entertainment, who knew Miss Amirian for three years.

"She was a fabulous songwriter and performer. She was very worldly, especially in Temecula, which is its own world in a bubble," Gould said. "This is so stunning. It's not fair for a girl who tried so hard to be positive. I'm at a loss for words."

Police arrested Miss Amirian's boyfriend, Mickey David Beauchamp Wagstaff, 25, of Pala in San Diego County, on suspicion of murder, said Sgt. Michael Lujan of the Riverside County Sheriff's Department Central Homicide unit.

A Temecula police officer patrolling the garage went to check on the occupied vehicle, where he found Miss Amirian stabbed and Wagstaff inside.

Wagstaff was placed under arrest but remained hospitalized under deputy supervision Friday after suffering injuries in the stabbing and from the Taser police used on him while he resisted arrest, Lujan said.

So. Cal man convicted of killing fiancée

Pala man was convicted Thursday of first-degree murder and other charges for raping his 27-year-old fiancee in a car outside a Temecula mall, then fatally stabbing her when a sheriff’s sergeant arrived to investigate.

A Murrieta jury deliberated about six hours before finding Mickey David Wagstaff guilty of murder and found true special circumstance allegations of killing during a sexual assault and killing during a kidnapping in the death of Elizabeth Kellenbarger Amirian.

Wagstaff, 27, is scheduled to be sentenced on Jan. 27 to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

According to testimony in the nearly two-week trial, the defendant sexually assaulted Amirian while she was locked in his Toyota Previa in a parking garage at The Promenade mall. The couple had been arguing about marriage plans and whether it was appropriate to have sex before exchanging vows, according to sheriff’s investigators.

Prosecutors said Wagstaff forced the victim to stay with him during the two days leading up to the assault, driving to different locations before finally arriving in Temecula. At one point, he bound the woman’s ankles to keep her from running away, authorities said.

Moments after the rape, a sheriff’s sergeant — in response to a request by mall security — approached Wagstaff’s vehicle and tapped on the window to check on the welfare of the occupants.

Sgt. Keith Knotek said that when Wagstaff saw him standing there, the defendant took out a knife and began plunging it into Amirian. Knotek said he smashed a window and deployed a Taser to stop the attack, which lasted more than a minute.

Amirian, who was stabbed 39 times in the head, back and neck, died at the scene
