18YO Hugged Ex-Girlfriend, 14, After Slitting Her Throat, Then Knifed Her One More Time In The Back

A man allegedly stabbed his 14-year-old girlfriend multiple times at a Minnesota park before slitting her throat, giving her a hug and knifing her one more time in the back.

Isaac Arthur Arndt, 18, is charged with second-degree murder in the death of Jaelyn Walker. According to a probable cause statement, Arndt walked into to the Clay County Law Enforcement Center around 11 p.m. Aug. 19 to report an assault. He had two cuts on his fingers. Arndt claimed he and Jaelyn were at Gooseberry Park when an “unknown white male” started following them. He said as he ran away, the man attacked him with a knife, per the affidavit.

About 90 minutes after Arndt’s statement, Jaelyn’s mother called the Moorhead Police Department to report her missing. A locator on her phone through Snapchat led cops near a bicycle trail on Elm Street and 6th Avenue South. Several officers searched the area where they found Jaelyn’s body in the Red River near a wooded area along the trail. She was suffering from multiple stab wounds. Cops also found a knife and lots of blood.

Moorhead detectives spoke with Arndt at the hospital. Post Miranda, he initially gave them the same story he told the other police officer earlier in the night, but his statements were inconsistent, detectives noted. Arndt eventually admitted that he and Jaelyn had been in a “romantic relationship” for several months but it had recently ended, according to the affidavit. He claimed the two were at the park when Jaelyn wanted to know about his new girlfriend and attacked him when he refused to tell her.

“Defendant stated he started to ‘slash’ at the victim and that he stabbed the victim about 13 times. Defendant stated he fled the scene on his scooter and along the way he discarded his phone, his back pack, and the scooter,” detectives wrote.

Arndt spoke with detectives and prosecutors in a second interview. He allegedly said after he stabbed her several times he saw her “laying there suffering.”

“Defendant stated that he then cut her throat, gave her a hug and stabbed her one more time in the back,” the affidavit said.

He allegedly dragged her body to the river and left her there. She was dead, he reportedly admitted.

Detectives searched his home in Fargo where they allegedly found bloody socks and a towel hidden in the kitchen cupboard. There was also bloodstained toilet paper in the bathroom, the affidavit said.


Cops also say they uncovered security footage from the park that showed Arndt coming out of the wooded area where they found the body and leaving on a scooter. Text messages on Jaelyn’s phone reportedly showed they had agreed to meet at the park around 7:30 p.m. the night of the murder. Witnesses also told cops they saw two people matching the descriptions of Arndt and Jaelyn around the same time, the affidavit said.

What a horrible painful frightening death-and I am sure a complete shock to this poor young lady. She was too pretty for his ugly ass to begin with. I bet he is lying about her asking about his new (made up) "girlfriend", I would not be surprised and it's was the other way around-he was jealous and lost it-all those stab wounds, slicing her throat? It was personal. The "I can't have you no one can have you" vibe. I hope he gets the MAX legally possible and that every second will be miserable. But no matter what he gets, it will truly never be enough

he fled the scene on his scooter

Nothing says cold blooded psychopathic murderer as leaving the scene on your scooter.

Umm, Moms, he was 18 and your baby was 14. That's outside the scope of the Romeo and Juliet laws. That's stat. rape territory. Why would you permit them to spend a single second alone together? This can't have been his first display of irrational anger either...

The fear and pain that poor young girl must have felt. Don't buy it at all that she attacked him or even mentioned his "new girlfriend." This was more than likely planned. He wanted her dead and had the whole story (badly) thought out.

Aaaaand 18 and dating a 14 year old?! Ewww.
I remember being 16 and becoming friends with a girl I found out was about 2 months from being 15. It felt kinda weird. I can't imagine being 18 and thinking about dating someone who can't even get a drivers permit.
