Behind the High School: The Calculated Murder of a Pregnant Cheerleader
When seventeen-year-old Breana Rouhselang told her classmate Aaron Trejo she was six months pregnant with his baby, she expected a difficult conversation about their future. Instead, Aaron made a chilling decision: since it was "too late" for an abortion, he would solve the problem himself.
"I took action," he would later confess to investigators. "I took her life."
This is the complete story of how a teenage pregnancy discussion became a calculated double murder in Mishawaka, Indiana. From the week of planning to the brutal attack in a dark alley, to the discovery that shocked a community—told exactly as investigators and the public experienced it, using actual confession details and court testimony.
