<p><span style="font-size: inherit;">The 21-year-old uncle charged with murdering his five-year-old niece had blood-colored stains on his pants and &#8216;filthy&#8217; hands that he attempted to lick clean after his arrest, police say.<br />
</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">On Wednesday, Alexander Whipple, through his attorney, led police to the dirt-covered body of his niece, Elizabeth &#8216;Lizzy&#8217; Shelley, located just yards from her Utah home, after he struck a deal to avoid the death penalty.<br />
</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">His sister Jessica&#8217;s young daughter had been missing for five days.<br />
</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">Police revealed that following Whipple&#8217;s arrest last Saturday, officers allegedly found what seemed to be dried blood on his clothes.<br />
When left alone in an interview room without handcuffs, the 21-year-old allegedly tried to lick his &#8216;filthy&#8217; hands with cuts on his fingers, apparently in the effort to wipe them clean.<br />
</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">During questioning, Whipple told detectives that alcohol makes him &#8216;black out&#8217; and sometimes he does &#8216;criminal things.&#8217;<br />
</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">He alluded frequently to &#8216;how evil the world we live in is,&#8217; as he talked about his struggles as a child, according to court documents. </span></div>

<div><span style="font-size: inherit;"><span style="font-size: inherit;">Alexander Whipple, 21, of Logan, Utah, on Wednesday was <a href="https://www.abc4.com/news/local-news/uncle-of-missing-5-year-old-charged-with-aggravated-murder-kidnapping/2036593513">charged with aggravated murder</a>, child kidnapping, desecration of a human body, and obstruction of justice in the killing of his five-year-old niece, Elizabeth &#8216;Lizzy&#8217; Shelley.<br />
The suspect led cops to the body of Shelley, who was last seen at 2am on Saturday at home in Logan.<br />
</span></span><span style="font-size: inherit;">According to court records, Whipple was at victim&#8217;s home the night she disappeared. Her mother told police she invited Whipple over around 10:30 p.m. on Friday night to drink and play video games with her and her live-in boyfriend.<br />
</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">She said Lizzy and her sister were in bed by the time Whipple arrived, her mother said.<br />
</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">The mom&#8217;s boyfriend told police when the couple went to bed, Whipple was on the couch and it looked like &#8220;he was going to &#8216;pass-out'&#8221;.<br />
</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">The mom first noticed both Lizzy and Whipple were gone the next morning around 10 a.m.</span><span style="font-size: inherit;"><br />

<div class="image-wrap fff-pic"><span style="font-size: inherit;">When Lizzy&#8217;s body was found Logan Police Chief Gary Jensen said, she was left under a pile of debris in a heavily wooded area less than a block from her home.<br />
her remains was found at around 2pm local time after an intense search.<br />
</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">Following the grim discovery, Lizzy&#8217;s great grandfather, Bill Whipple, revealed that the 21-year-old murder suspect had a difficult childhood but had never showed violent tendencies.</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">&#8216;I would never, ever in a million years have thought he was capable of harming such a cute little girl,&#8217; Bill Whipple said of his grandson.<br />
&#8216;I knew he was a thief, but I never labeled him as a murderer.&#8217;<br />
</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">Alex Whipple’s mother walked out on the family when he was young, leaving his father to raise three children alone while he worked as a truck driver.<br />
</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">As a teenager, Alex spent time in foster homes and did not graduate from high school.<br />
</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">Whipple&#8217;s defense attorney, Shannon Demler, described his client as &#8216;very emotional&#8217; and &#8216;not in a very good mental state.&#8217;<br />
</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">&#8216;He’s very broken down,&#8217; Demler told </span><a class="class" style="font-size: inherit;" href="https://fox13now.com/2019/05/29/attorney-speaks-after-client-leads-police-to-body-of-missing-logan-5-year-old-girl/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Fox 13 Now</a><span style="font-size: inherit;">. &#8216;He’s very remorseful.&#8217;<br />
</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">Demler said Whipple did not provide a motive for what he described as the man&#8217;s &#8216;inexcusable&#8217; act against his niece and speculated that mental illness could be to blame.<br />
</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">&#8216;I don’t know if there’s a reason why other than possibly mental illness,&#8217; the lawyer said. &#8216;You know, it&#8217;s not like a five-year-old girl would do something that would justify someone doing this to her, but I think the answer is going to be in the mental illness of my client.&#8217;<br />

<div class="image-wrap fff-pic"><span style="font-size: inherit;">Demler said he expects Whipple to undergo multiple psychiatric evaluations as his case winds through the court system.<br />
</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">Family spokesman Jill Parker read a statement from Lizzy&#8217;s mom Jessica, thanking the local community for their help in looking for her &#8216;caring and giving&#8217; daughter.<br />
</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">It read in part: &#8216;There are no words to express the sadness and the heartbreak we feel today. This did not end the way we wanted it to.&#8217;<br />
</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">Whipple&#8217;s attorney said the breakthrough in the search for Lizzy came after he presented his client with the facts and evidence, </span><a class="class" style="font-size: inherit;" href="https://cbsaustin.com/news/nation-world/elizabeth-shelleys-body-found-near-her-home" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">News 2</a><span style="font-size: inherit;"> reported.<br />
</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">&#8216;My client made the decision to disclose the location of the body to the authorities so the family, hopefully, could have some closure on that part of the case,&#8217; Demler said.<br />
</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">Logan Police Chief Gary Jensen said in an earlier press conference Wednesday that before the discovery of the girl&#8217;s body her blood was found on a watch and a hooded sweatshirt belonging to Whipple.<br />
</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">He did not confirm the nature of Lizzie&#8217;s death and said they are awaiting official positive identification but police strongly believe it is the body of the five-year-old.</span></div>

</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">Investigators also found a piece of PVC pipe 50 yards away in the parking lot of Bear River Charter School with a partial palm print in a red substance believed to be blood. &#8211; The bloody palm print matched Whipple&#8217;s hand, the charges state.<br />
</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">Whipple was charged with aggravated murder which is a capital offense. He was also charged with child kidnapping, a first-degree felony, desecration of a human body, a third-degree felony, and two counts of obstruction of justice.<br />
</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">A Zions Bank account was opened under the name Elizabeth Shelley Donation to collect funds as the family searches for Lizzy, the Cache County Attorney&#8217;s office said Wednesday.<br />
</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">Investigators had been searching for the girl since Saturday morning.<br />
The massive search for Elizabeth concentrated in a one-half mile area around the family&#8217;s home in Logan, a mountain valley near the Idaho border about 80 miles north of Salt Lake City. </span></div>

</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">&#8216;He knows he’s done something that was terrible, unjustified and could never be fixed,&#8217; Demler said. &#8216;We talked about it in depth and just felt it was appropriate that his family knew the location so they could put that part behind them… Not only that, there was a lot of people out searching for the body and things and I think it was just time to put that to sleep.&#8217;<br />

Bloodstained murder suspect Alexander Whipple, 21, who led cops to the body of five-year-old niece, Elizabeth Shelley, licked his ‘filthy’ hands clean in the police interrogation room – ‘knew he was thief, but I never labeled him as a murderer’, says his grandfather
