A pair of eight graders stabbed a disabled mother to death as she was cleaning her car then propped her body up in the driver's seat before going for a joyride, police say.
The suspected killers, aged just 13 and 14, are accused of brutally stabbing mother-of-one Tanya Chamberlain, 43, to death with a pocket knife in the early hours of November 1 in Kansas City.
The teens, one of whom is a Boy Scout, then allegedly put her body into the passenger seat with her feet propped up on the dashboard before taking her car on a joyride.
...
Investigators say CCTV from a car wash near Kansas City shows Chamberlain vacuuming the inside of her car at around 1.15am on the morning of the alleged crime, KSLA reported.
At 1.51am the suspects can be seen approaching the car wash on the footage, before climbing inside while Chamberlain was in the front seat at 1.57am
Two minutes later the CCTV footage cuts out as the system reboots for daylights savings. When it comes back on Chamberlain, the boys, and the car are gone.
Approximately 20 minutes later police saw Chamberlain's car swerving across the road nearby and the officer flashed his lights for what he believed was a routine traffic stop.
Chamberlain's car pulled over to the side of the road, but as the officer climbed out of his car, two boys jumped from the vehicle and fled along the street.

According to a coroner's report, she had been stabbed in the face, neck, chest, arms and hands.
In the backseat the officer says he found a small penknife, which may have been wrapped in Chamberlain's hair.
Cops released footage of the two boys showing them wearing distinctive hooded tops, and were quickly contacted by friends from Bernard C Campbell Middle School with their identities.
According to friends, the two suspects regularly wore the same outfits to class, and a neighbor of the alleged killers said they came to her house after the crime wearing the same clothes.

boys have told them incriminating details that could only have been known to somebody who was there on the night.
However, each of them has denied delivering the fatal blows, and blames the other for the killing.
