Four-year-old beaten and killed in failed exorcism to “remove a demon” – Everything Law and Order Blog

In this episode of True Crime Daily The Podcast updates: A little girl is finally receiving some semblance of justice, unfortunately, she’s not alive to see it happen.

In December 2020, 4-year-old Jessica Mast was found dead at a home in Benton County, Missouri. She had been beaten, abused, and submerged in an ice-cold pond as part of an alleged “religious ceremony” to “remove a demon.”

This attempted exorcism and her heinous beatings killed her. She was covered in bruises.

Jessica’s parents, James and Mary Mast, as well as the neighbors who reportedly beat her, Ethan Mast and Kourtney Aumen, were all arrested on charges connected to her death. Jessica Mast is not related to the neighbor Ethan Mast, though their families attended the same church.

In February 2022, Ethan pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, and in January 2023, Jessica’s mother, Mary, also pleaded guilty to first-degree child endangerment. Prosecutors recommended she spend five years behind bars.

Let’s look back at the episode where Joshua Ritter and I discuss the case of Jessica Mast.

  2. I’m so sorry, but I only made it 7min into this video & had to stop because of how INACCURATE it is. I ran across this video while looking for additional info about the case after already doing an hour of research, so I’m already well acquainted with it. Either the 6 other sources I found are wrong (while giving the exact same info as one another) OR this video is wrong.🤷🏻‍♀️
