Trio charged in killing of teen found sexually mutilated, burned

Three people have been charged in the murder of a Missouri teen whose body was found burned and sexually mutilated.

Police charged a man and two women Thursday in the killing of 17-year-old Joseph Steinfeld, the Houston Herald reported. The suspects were identified as Andrew Vrba, 18; Isis Schauer, 18; and Briana Calderas, 24.

All three were charged with first-degree murder and abandonment of a corpse. Vrba and his girlfriend, Isis Schauer, were also slapped with armed criminal action charges.

The break in the case came when police discovered the female suspects had messaged each other on Facebook about the murder.

Vrba confessed to officers that he stabbed the teen to death and burned his body with the help of the women.

The female suspects told police that Vrba had bragged about sexually mutilating the teen and gouging his eyes out, according to the Houston Herald.

“It is a grisly terrible series of heinous acts by the accused,” Texas County Prosecutor Parke Stevens Jr. told the Houston Herald.

All three suspects are being held without bail.
