The actual attack took place in a nearby forest (David's Park) during a game of hide-and-seek on May 31, 2014. Leutner was pinned down and stabbed 19 times in the arms, legs, and torso with a kitchen knife with a five-inch-long (13 cm) blade. Two wounds were to major organs, one missed a major artery of her heart by less than a millimeter, and another went through her diaphragm, cutting into her liver and stomach.[11] Weier told the victim to lay down because the blood will come out slower.
