A second suspect has been charged in the murder of a 17-year-old
Delaware teen who was lured into the woods and beaten to death
last month, prosecutors said.
Annika Stalczynski, 17, was arrested Monday after investigators
found she conspired with Noah Sharp to ambush and kill Madison
Sparrow, the Delaware Attorney’s General Office said.
Stalczynski was Sparrow’s classmate when they both attended
Newark Charter High School, the Delaware News Journal reported.
Sparrow’s parents reported her missing on Oct. 5. Three days
later, cops arrested Sharp, Sparrow’s ex-boyfriend.
Richard Prestidge, Sparrow’s father, mourned the loss of his
daughter and described her to the outlet as “wise beyond her
years.”
Sharp, 19, admitted to police that he killed his ex-girlfriend
by beating her with a baseball bat and then dumped her body in a
wooded area along Interstate 95, court documents obtained by the
Delaware News Journal say.
A motive for Sparrow’s murder remains unclear, but Sharp
allegedly said he and Stalczynski planned the killing. The
relationship between Sharp and Stalczynski is also unknown.
Stalczynski and Sharp have been charged with first degree
murder, possession of a deadly weapon during the commission of a
felony and first-degree conspiracy.
They were both being held on $1,021,000 bail.
