An entry in Pearl's diary hours after the attack revealed that Pearl didn't know the victim and the victim hadn't done anything to her. She wrote that she simply attacked her because she wanted to know how it felt like to kill someone.
Pearl went on to describe herself as a 'homicidal psychopath' who has a 'deep hatred towards people'.
“I stabbed an innocent woman to death earlier today (well yesterday since it’s 1 a.m.) … It was absolutely fantastic,” she wrote.
“Murder gives me a high unlike any other. It feels like this crisp unreality, flashing and sparkling, adrenaline and shock, fight or flight mode.”
"How do I even go about describing it. The whole thing was unreal."
"I’m so proud of myself. I stabbed her like 20 times. "Maybe more. I wasn’t counting.
"She screamed & grabbed at me saying 'What the f***?! Help. Leave'."Luckily the victim survived the attack.
Pearl remained at large for three months until police were called to a disturbance at Moen's family home. When the Police arrived, Pearl's mum told officers that she thinks her daughter matched the description of the person who attacked a woman 3 months prior. She also told them that her daughter liked to collect knives and had even joked about the stabbing incident a couple of times
During a search of Moen's bedroom they found the diary with the detailed confession and even drawings of the attack. She also made reference to having lost a gold ring in the incident which matched one found by police at the scene.

Last week, Pearl pleaded guilty to attempted murder and was sentenced to 15 years in prison, though she's likely to get out before she's 25 if she serves her sentence with good behavior.
