Fox 4 appeared to be the first to deliver the gruesome details of Alyea's killing. Fox 4 reported that the three men beat 18-year-old Alyea, who begged for her life, and then 18-year-old Dustin Hilt allegedly stabbed her in the stomach.
Alyea disappeared in the early hours of September 30, 2009. Her body was found October 5 in a farm field in Cass County, Missouri.

After hearing the pounding, the men stopped on a gravel road and asked her if she'd tell on them. She promised not to and begged them to take her to a hospital. Detectives testified that Hilt stabbed her in the stomach with a hunting knife and Calbeck kicked her in the head. Detectives said Alyea had been stabbed a total of 29 times (at least nine to the chest) and also suffered wounds to her head and neck, according to Fox 4.
As far as the confessions, Fox 4 reports:
Mattox told police that Hilt wanted to hurt Alyea and take her car, but never mentioned murder as part of the plan. But Calbeck told investigators it was Mattox who mentioned wanting to kill Alyea and who first attacked her with a metal jack handle in the back of her car as they drove her around.Hilt was reportedly Alyea's ex-boyfriend, and their relationship was allegedly abusive. Hilt and Alyea had each other's names tattooed on their bodies, but Alyea's father had said Hilt's name would be removed before Alyea's funeral.
Hilt, Mattox and Calbeck are charged with first-degree murder, aggravated kidnapping and aggravated robbery.
