Final Brunn Interview Released – Canton-Sixes Patch

Monday, the GBI released new video of what would become Ryan Brunn's final interview with authorities.  In the interview, which occurred at the Cherokee County Detention Center immediately after he pleaded guilty to the December 2011 murder of 7-year-old Jorelys Rivera, Brunn said the Canton Elementary first-grader was a “cute kid.”

"Yeah, she was a cute kid," said Brunn, who admitted that he was attracted to young kids and had watched child pornography.

Jorelys was _abducted at about 5 p.m. Dec. 2 near a playground at the River Ridge at Canton apartment community_ where she lived and died. Brunn, 20, worked there as a maintenance worker. He'd moved from Dahlonega to Canton only weeks earlier.

Jorelys' severely beaten body_ was found in a Dumpster from the complex on Dec. 5. An autopsy found that she likely died 60 to 90 minutes after she disappeared. Jorelys had been compacted, but not before she was _bound, gagged and bludgeoned to death with her own skate—the item Brunn used to lure Jorelys to a vacant apartment unit that authorities later determined was the crime scene. Her throat was slit.
