Austin Police release the booking photo of Pearl Moen. Moen is now facing an attempted murder charge for the November 14th Hyde Park incident. Moen is accused of stabbing the 24-year-old nurse 21 times early that morning.

Detectives were tipped off after a February 14th incident this year. According to an arrest affidavit, Moen got into a fight with her mother and the police were called. Moen's mother told them her daughter matched the description of the stabbing suspect and Moen's then-boyfriend said the teenager told him she had killed someone. Police searched her house, and found the teenager’s journal, which revealed some disturbing information.
