Alyssa Bustamante (born Alyssa Dailene Bustamante on January 28, 1994 in California, USA) is the daughter of Michelle and Caesar Bustamante. Alyssa’s grandparents, Karen and Gary Brooke, took legal custody of her three younger siblings in 2002 since her mother Michelle had addiction issues and her father Caesar was serving time in prison.
Alyssa always appeared to be a rebellious teenager. However, she still acted very normally. According to her friends, “Alyssa was just always so sweet, and everybody loved her. She was amazing.”. But inside her mind, her alter ego was lurking and haunting her. Alyssa was a much darker person on the inside, while her face looked so innocent on surface. When police dug deeper into her background, they found that she had a troubled childhood.
Everything in Alyssa’s life was going smooth. However, things took a U-turn in 2007 when she tried to kill herself. She spent the next ten days at a psychiatric hospital and went on anti-depressants afterward. Despite her medication, she practiced cutting herself many times. She would often show her scars on the wrist to friends. According to one of Alyssa’s friends, “She was obviously on the anti-depressants. We always would go upstairs, and she would be like, ‘Oh I need to take my medicine.’’.
