Autumn Pasquale Allegedly Strangled By Teens

The brothers, ages 15 and 17, are charged with first-degree murder.

 

Teenage brothers lured 12-year-old Autumn Pasquale into their house, strangled her and then dumped her body in a recycling bin, authorities said Tuesday afternoon. 

The Clayton, Gloucester County, girl had been missing since about 12:30 p.m. Saturday, when she left home on her white BMX Odyssey bicycle. After a relentless two-day search, her body was found in the bin outside a Clayton home late Monday night. 

Authorities on Tuesday arrested the brothers—ages 15 and 17—who live about five blocks from Pasquale's home. During a news conference in Clayton on Tuesday afternoon, Gloucester County Prosecutor Sean Dalton declined to release their identities because of their ages. 

They each are charged with first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder, disposing of a body, tampering with evidence and theft. Additionally, the 15-year-old was charged with luring. 

The teens lured the girl into their home by telling her they had parts for her bicycle, according to the prosecutor. 

An autopsy performed Tuesday morning showed Pasquale died of blunt force trauma consistent with strangulation, according to Dalton. He said there was no indication Pasquale was sexually assaulted. 

The teen's mother contacted authorities after seeing a Facebook post from one of her sons regarding Pasquale, Dalton said. He declined to elaborate. 

Authorities executed a search warrant Tuesday at the teenagers' home. 

"The search recovered personal belongings of Autumn's in the juveniles' residence," including her bicycle, Dalton said. 

Dalton said his office may seek to try the teens as adults. A detention hearing for the juveniles is expected to take place Wednesday in Family Court in Woodbury. 

The case attracted media from as far away as New York to the small borough. In addition to dozens of members of the media, several Clayton residents also attended Tuesday's press conference. Some of them wiped away tears as Dalton provided the grisly details of Pasquale's death. 

Dalton credited local residents for banding together to help in the search for Pasquale. 

"Today we mourn the loss of a young girl whose life was tragically cut short before it even began," Dalton said. "I know a lot of you are angry, and you have a right to be angry. At this point, we need to put anger aside. We have to let justice take its course."

These two should never see the light of day except from a cell. This young lady will never EVER see the light of day again. The parents will live in pain and agony the rest of their lives as will any brothers and sisters if she has any. Eventually the cell population will take care of them.

The most saddening tragedy. My prayers and love to Autumn's family and friends. As a mom, I can not imagine how they are coping. Autumn looked liked any little girl in any town. A girl with a smile and a spirit of innocence. A sweet beautiful girl who lost her life for a bicycle. SENSELESS.
My heart bleeds tears for the mom of those boys who had the grace and presence of faith to stand tall in what must have been the darkest horror. May we all keep her in our prayers too.
And those boys, well there is nothing that can be said other than may they never close or open their eyes without suffering the pain they inflicted on Autumn, her family and their mom.

This is such a sensitive situation. Our first thought is to kill those teens. I get it... It's mine too. But there is another family also losing 2 children with that thought process. This is beyond tragic. No happy ending. Autumns parents will live in Hell for the rest of their lives. The teens mother has also been sentenced to a life term. Really no way of appeasing everyone .

Not sure of your thought process (which really bothers me) but as a parent of a 10 year old daughter I have no sympathy for those boys. Autumn is NEVER coming back - her life was snuffed out by 2 thugs! This was a SENSELESS crime over a bike. Those boys made their decision and knew exactly what they were doing when they lured her into their home. Their mother has to deal with that. I hope they are tried as adults because they don't deserve to walk the streets again. I couldn't (nor wouldn't) want to imagine what Autumn's parents are going through right now.

These two boys(animals) need to be tried as adult. Unfortunetly these kids will never know what damage they have done to two families and to a community. Maybe 30 years in prison will help. My heart breaks for the family of Autumn. What a beautiful, sweet, little angel. May she rest in peace.

Tara, you have got to be kidding.... something is wrong in that house if 2 brothers can kill a little girl no matter what she is doing. Like a disease or pest in your home you will do whatever it takes to destroy it, kill these bastards, they are a disease in our society. A 52 year old father is dead today for no reason because they let out a lunatic from prison that was supposedly rehabilitated, this happens thousands and thousands of times,These people can't be fixed, they are wired wrong. We all are living in hell because of these left minded moron's that find every way possible to make our society and the human race less safe, but if grandma needs surgery...nahh you lived long enough. Destroy those in the middle east that would kill us and their own people instead of playing police officer, execute those that would kill another human without good cause, imprison those that can't follow our laws as a free society, help those that have contributed to our society in a positive way, and send all the lefties to europe to fight over whatever scrap of money there is left over there and make sure it airs prime time so we can watch. Everyone is sick and tired of having to lock up their children out of fear, wake up every morning in fear they might lose their job, go to bed every night in fear the government will take away everything they worked for. Enough fear people, it's time to get back control of our country and a civil society.

Pete I am not sure what Fred may have meant, but we also have to consider he may not feel comfortable saying black or African American, or dark complexion, I have many black friends who tell me that "black" upsets some people, "African American" upset some who don't associate their past to Africa, and others who feel that people don't run around saying "dark complexion"or "light complexion" "so why not just call me black". In a country whos own government has pitted it's citizens against eachother, we no longer feel comfortable talking to someone or about someone who may be different in other ways, wether it be race, religion, political point of view, or financial status. I will give Fred the benefit of the doubt and hope he just felt uncomfortable saying something he thought might offend. Sadly we are being drawn in by our own government and the leftists to tear America apart, this has been the plan and design of the early 60's Soviet Union, to destroy us from within, to create a New World Order where we would be so weak we would lose our sovereignty and our financial might, we would all then fall under United Nation control and all countries would become 1 world with 1 government in control of 1 currency which would control all citizens. If some open there eyes it would not be too hard to see, we are almost there, Obama is now pushing to vote the "Global Poverty Tax" where the United Nations can tax America a certain percent on our Gross Domestic Products. Vote Wisely.

I certainly don't know if I believe in public hangings, however, I do think that years gone by they handled their punishments very much different and perhaps much more effective. While visiting Williamsburg we were told that first offense petty criminals were put to public humiliation, (love that) second offense they had their earlobes nailed to the post, and the third was death. Sounds like a plan to me.
Honestly I would hope they learned after the public humiliation...but I do vote for that to be brought back again. Unfortunately kids, and criminals today, I believe have no fear. They fear no God or fear of consequences. Tie them up to a pole with a sign that speaks their crime...and let the public take care of him.

The difference between sentencing them to death and letting them live is rehabilitation. Do you honestly think they could ever contribute to society after this? So if they get 50 years in prison, the question is, should tax payers have to pay for their food, lodging, security, etc.? Honestly, I would rather see these kids, and probably the parents of these kids, rot.

The two boys have been identified by neighbors etc - their names are all over the internet. They are Dante and Jutsin Robinson. They are two black boys. While I do not believe, based on the news reports, this had anyting to do with race, I would just like to point out that if the tables were turned and the victim was black, there would be marching in the streets.The fact is this is a horrible situation and there is more than one vicitm here. Autumn, her family and friends and the family and friends of the alleged murderers. While I believe that everyone is responsible for their actions I have to ask, what went so very wrong in the lives of these boys that would make them capable of such a horrible crime?

However, since white people do not contribute to their B.S. church groups they could care less..... I wounder if Obama will comment on this, probably not...

And even more sickening are those who believe in death for a death, executions etc., you are no better then the Taliban, you are the same kind of scum and animal as those who kill initially, murder for murder is still murder.

The two boys need to pay for the crime committed, but killing them brings justice? Go to Afghanistan you belong there.

Nice job Mike! Right on the money. To all who think someone who murders can be rehabilitated? You must be insane yourself. They can't even understand the simplicity of right and wrong. If they didn't get it before they murdered, they never will! Put them in jail on the taxpayers dime, wasting oxygen, working out, watching television all day. That's rehabilitation in prison. It's another justice system failure. Just look at the repeat offender statistics. Like Mike said, too many convicted murderers still living and not executed. To (0) and moist cake, this isn't a political, race, or the most ridiculous comparison Taliban issue! These are children who killed for a bicycle. They need to be punished as adults is the most harsh of ways. Problem with New Jersey is the death penalty doesn't exist. These two need to ride the lightening. No such thing as rehab for a murderer! Comparing someone who believes in the death penalty to the Taliban is ludicrous!

I guess you could have just said, this is not the place for politics, but I would have answered the same way... yes it is, this is the perfect place... to stand up for this poor little girl and remember that our failings in our politics and our laws may have contributed to her losing her life, this is the perfect place for us to speak for those whom can no longer, thanks to a percentage of people who's out of wack moral compass leads to more and more children like Autumn being hurt, abused and murdered, this is the perfect place for Autumn to let us know this will no longer be tolerated and that her voice may be silenced but she will be heard. This is the perfect place for you, me and all the rest of us to realize we failed this little girl and many like her and it will not be tolerated, we are not going to allow the young and the innocent to be wiped out, while we protect and coddle the scum and the entitled. They felt they had a right to her bike, they felt they had the right to take her life, It's my right to help make laws that will take their life when they feel so entitled to take anothers.

my comment about he right being pro automatic guns was just to show that fingers can be pointed at both sides after tragedies- and i dont think any side should do it. and no this is not the place for politics. it is not the "left" or "right" fault, the only 2 responsible are the sick individuals who commited the crime. you really think a death penalty is going to stop these tragedies from happening. people who do these disgusting things are sick in the head (even more severely than you) they can not rationalize penalties for their behavior. even if theres a death penalty thet will still do as they please.
please stop calling me a left, i am not on the "left" or "right" and the people who are too far on one side is the problem in this country.

Vote Wisely."

(0) so you don't find it odd that an outside identity will be able to tax us? that our debt is so large vs other countries that any number of countries especially China could demand payment of our debt and effectively cripple us without raising a gun? you don't find it odd that europe is begging germany to save the euro? that russia and china are demanding that the dollar be replaced? whew boy you lefties really do keep your heads in the sand. Russian Prof. Panarin predicted the collapse of America's financial might, 15 years ago and everyone laughed, funny how no one is lauging now and interview him on a regular basis wanting to know where he got his data from, of course he can't tell anyone because he even admits the data came from the Kremlin, but maybe take a little time off from drinking beer, watching msnbc and praying to Obama, and read up a little on what is going on around you.

Glenn Beck has no clue what he is talking about. I don't subscribe to that non-sense I read the language of the laws and policies coming out of our administrations for the last 20 years and know we are on the road to ruin. This election will determine the fate of America, and it won't be too long after January 1st that you will know if America made the right choice, It will be a long road back up the hill or a short hop into the fire.

May Autumn rest in peace and my deepest sympathy to her parents, her family, and friends.

I applaud the courageous act of the mother of those murderers who turned them in to authorities. She must be going through a terrible heartache as well! Her boys have not obviously followed her example in life. So, please let's stop with "the woe is me" environmental lifestyle justification excuse for these 2 boys, or, the " we need to examine what happened to the 2 boys to have made them commit such a horrific crime." Too much psychoanalysis in society today and not enough ownership/responsibility for a person's/child's actions. These two boys are responsible for their own actions and must pay. It's as simple as that.

I would bet that the 15 year old will say the 17 year old did it and vice-versa and that their attorneys would create reasonable doubt to warrant them serving hardly any time at all. We need to hear & know the truth, but unfortunately, it does not always work in today's society. I truly hope that in this case, justice will be served to Autumn and to the respective families.

This was not a racial black/white crime... This has nothing to do with color... This was a innocent little girl being murdered by two savages!
I don't believe in the death penalty nor do I believe in rehabbing people like this.

I think that the US government should take these 2 criminals..and most criminals and send them to a third world country. The USA can give them $50,000. And the leaders of this third world country will put them to work! Yes WORK! Let them build water ways and roads and HELP people and do good for once in their lives. And let them work for their food and water!

No one here knows anything about whether there was a racial component here. No one. Perhaps there was. Perhaps there wasn't. One thing is for sure, the race of the alleged perpetrators does not seem to be being widely reported.

There were a few that tried to inject that some of us were racist but clearly it was just to distract from what these 2 did, the next play in the handbook is to claim they were framed, to somehow try to extend the race claim although there was none, and next will be the bungling of the police to not have blah, blah, blah, 4th will be that the girl did something to provoke the attack, 5th will be juvenile court, 6th will be rehabilitation, 7th will be early release, 8th step will be their names hitting the Star Ledger 8/11/2015 because the system failed to help them so they blah blah blah, same story line over and over again, just like the war on drugs, the war on poverty, the war on the middle class. The mind of the left is left for a reason,,, because it ain't right.

My initial take when hearing the story was the obvious...brutal, horrific, why...beasts killing a fawn. I also thought and stated that I gave the boys mother credit for turning her boys in. After a couple of days of reading further updates, I still give their mother credit for her actions. But I would be curious, upon investigation, hearing what kind of home they came from...kids don't simply turn into cold blooded, calculating killers overnight. I (and I'm sure Autumn's parents could really care either) whether they were black, white or plaid. I'm unsure of how that is relevant. An innocent little girl is gone at the hands of very young monsters.

wow.

I think we have another problem here in addition to the unfathomable crime that was committed on this poor innocent angel.

I think the perps should do life in solitary, lose their minds in about 5 years and just wallow in their cells looking at the wonderful world of a blank wall. Losing their life is too easy.

The other problem I see, is wonderful Americans who are sick and tired of having to be politically correct, sick and tired of being accused of racism where a minority is involved and sick and tired of having to be careful of what they say because they might offend someone.

This is still America (last time I looked). and a bum is still a bum. That homeless crap went out in my lingo years ago. A bad criminal is a bad criminal - race has nothing to do with it.

Let us pray for the FAMILIES of the perps and the victims....and relish in the fact, that they were caught and justice will be done.

Wow really? A precious child's life has been taken too soon and you idiots harp on race? One has to wonder, if children with authority figures like you to look to for guidance even have a fair chance of becoming productive and sane members of society. With that said, no wonder an unfortunate few grow up to become monsters if all they know is hate.
Rather it be Autumn Pasquale or Treyvon Martin, both are children who died violently and that should be the discussion!!! The main concern should be how can we protect our children, not mommy and daddy's generalizations of a whole group of people. My prayers go out to Autumn and her family.

To Tee Smith: Here is what the Spath / Pannell case has to do with Autumn and her alleged killers. If two white youths had killed a young black girl; certain (community and political) leaders would be all over the media and in Clayton letting everyone know that justice is needed and that the girl was targeted (because of her color). Go back to that night in Teaneck: I was driving past the church when the Memorial service was letting out and you could see anger in the eyes of those leaving (the church). Shortly thereafter the riot started; funny thing is that we do not see riots or politicians grandstanding when the stituation is reversed (like here). PS: we know that Philip Pannell had a criminal record, was a member of a (drug) gang, was carrying a weapon and attempted to shoot at the police (prior to him being shot).

Baba. You are so incorrect on multiple levels; PARTICULARLY with the facts, that it tells me that this is not even worthy of further engagement. I was there that night and many other nights and days and months that followed. I remember everything like it happened yesterday, and could go back to journals written during that time to refresh my recollection if need-be. I will simply advise that you're incorrect. As for Sharpton and Jackson: I've said above that they come when called. Has the mom requested their presence?

Good day.

Tee, please let me know how I am wrong. I know I am not wrong about the background of Philip Pannell and his actions that evening. Some further questions: Why did the storeowners on Teaneck Road had to have their store windows smashed? Did they do anything wrong? Same applies to the cars that were vandalized. As I said before, I was in Teaneck that night and following nights as a member of the New Jersey Army National Guard. As has been stated, what would be the case if two white youths had killed an innocent girl of the opposite race? You tell me. Both cases are tragedies for all of the families involved as well as their respective communities.
