18-year-old teenager Stephanie Pistey confirmed with police that the people responsible for the summer murder of 16-year-old Florida teenager Jacob Hendershot were members of a vampire cult.

The Florida girl was accused of luring Hendershot into a fatal situation where he was beaten to death by members of the “cult” and was later dumped into a concrete enclosure.

After Pistey accused Hendershot of sexually assaulting her, police were originally led to believe that Hendershot was beaten to death out of self defense.

Now the motives behind the murder are unclear.

Pistey believes that she is part vampire part were-wolf. She denies drinking the blood of Hendershot, however admits to drinking the blood of her fiancé and co-defendant, 25-year-old William Chase.

Pistey and five others are charged with murder or accessory to murder.

According to CBS News, although not yet convicted of the crime, Pistey expects to be in prison for the rest of her life.
