Jesseca Carson was the babys mother, and the boyfriend was Blaine Milam.

Jessica Carson was sentenced to life, while Blaien Milam was sentenced to death.

After Milam returned to the child, he took a picture of her and gave it to Carson.

One of the childs eyes was stretched and like warped down.

Carson heard horrible cries from the child as Milam was attempting the exorcism.

They found blood-spatter stains, consistent with blunt force trauma, near the south bedroom.

DNA testing later showed that Amoras blood was on these items.

As a result of the exorcism conducted by Milam, Amora suffered innumerable injuries that led to her death.

Her head and face were so scraped and bruised that all the discrete injuries combined into one giant injury.

The underside of her tongue was lacerated from blunt force trauma.

She was also strangled.

Forensic testimony reflected that several of the injuries standing alone would have each been fatal.

Police were called several hours later; when they arrived, the child was entirely stiff and in rigor.

On December 13th, appellants sister, Teresa, went to see appellant in jail.

The aunt called Sgt.

The pipe wrench had been shoved down a hole in the floor of the master bathroom.

Werner Herzog did an episode ofOn Death Rowabout Blaine Milam and the full episode is onYouTube.

Especially since Amoras case hasnt been in the MSM very much due to the graphic nature of her death.

With Herzog youre getting quality information on the case coming straight from those involved.

The daughter almost died but recovered from the poison and testified against her mother.

They also found out she had poisoned her first husband.

Turns out his father murdered his younger twin sisters by stabbing them to death.

Apparently he told them to play hide and seek and murdered them when he found them.

We stash it for her no problem.

We gave the box of stuff to her daughter.

She was also the daughter of a detective who works in our town.

Turns out she was murdered by another lad Id also met a few times.

Pretty strange stuff, but I assumed it was all in the name of art.

He strangled her to death when she got there and dumped her body miles away.

Apparently the cops found essays hed been writing obsessively about her.

Hed also taken pictures labelled before-during-after of her murder, so it was obviously pre-meditated.

9.My neighbor that became our familys friend had a nice step dad.

He used to give me rides sometimes.

He grabbed his gun and told her shes going to die before she leaves or something like that.

My friends little sister was there too and was crying the whole time (she was like 16).

My friend stepped between his step dad and his mom.

His step dad told him if he didnt move hed kill him too.

He killed my friend, then the mom.

He turned to the little girl and said he couldnt kill her and that he was so sorry.

Then he killed himself.

All this happened while we were on vacation, weirdest trip home ever.

13.If you guys arent aware whats going on in the Philippines.

Most drug users/dealers are now being killed by unknown assailants.

No kids, middle aged, average couple.

The wife and my mom would talk sometimes casual pleasant neighborly chatter.

Apparently this lady was a total sweetheart and was loved around town.

So one day my mom is driving home, and the couples house is surrounded by police cruisers.

Turns out the wife commit suicide by shotgun.

The problem was she shot herself twice.

One day, my mom and grandma were going to the store.

So, yeah, Central Illinois is just low-key slang for Trevor Philips country.

She then blamed the father.

I live in a small south east town.

Back in the 80s the town was still pretty segregated school wise.

Where the railroad tracks once ran through town, was the diving line.

South side of the railroad was probably 99.9% black.

My backyard fence was part of that dividing line.

When I was 10, my parents fostered a black boy my age.

He lived in my neighborhood, played on my baseball team.

His dad went to prison up in NY and the boy lived with us for 4 years.

He moved back when his dad got out.

But 30 years later, we still tell people we are brothers.

D taught me a lot about black community.

Especially about times when crimes are committed and the whole black community knows who did it.

But dont tell because fuck the police or retaliation from the criminal.

we lived 2 blocks from the closest convenience store/arcade.

People walking to the store from the south side of the tracks, walked by my house.

It wasnt the wild west or anything.

So we always saw people we knew at the store.

But there was this one guy.

For the late 80s this dude was pretty out and flamboyant when it came to being gay.

Remember those 70s and 80s short shorts with the stripe.

If you hung em just right, your balls were exposed.

He was very friendly.

He would stop and talk.

He acted like he was a girl.

My sister and her friend were nice to him.

He stopped and talked to them if they were ever about.

So the dude is found in the bathroom at the ballfield.

He had been murdered.

Just fucked up big time.

Beat to hell and back.

And the story every one has head as an urban legend before.

They had cut his dick off and put it in his mouth.

His balls were in his hand and a broom stick had been shoved in his ass.

Happens to catch 2 black guys robbing the house.

He shoots and kills both after a scuffle.

Oddly enough, under routine drug test, because of the shooting, cocaine shows up on his system.

This story is really fishy.

Investigation goes on for a long time.

The cops finally drop the case, declare it self defense or what have.

This is where my foster brother D comes into play.

Were in our 20s, shooting the shit and somehow bring up the murder of the gay dude.

I was like, I cant believe they never solved that case.

D was like what you talking about?

Everybody knew who did it.

He asked, remember the 2 black dudes the off duty cop killed breaking into his parents house?

Yea I remember that.

Well those were the dudes that did it.

Everybody in the hood knew it was them.

They were always terrorizing everybody.

And the house they were breaking into and got caught?

Those 2 dudes were dealing drugs, and that white guy, off duty sheriff deputy from another county.

Shot em in the middle of the deal.

20.Second week in my new apartment and my neighbor gets robbed and stabbed.

Mostly junkies and welfare bludgers.

22.A child was raped and murdered.

This went on for months, like, month after month after month.

The next old couple they killed.

I ended up getting a Ring Video Doorbell and a Strikemaster II door reinforcements for each external door.

I keep firearms in electronic safes ready to use at any moment.

Nothing like that is going to happen to my family.

It was three girls two were adults and one was still in high school and the parents.

She had a job, had a decent life and all was well.

The relationship she was in fell apart and she had to move back home for financial reasons.

Things deteriorated over time and the parents continued to withhold her medications.

She lost her tenuous grip on reality and became unstable.

He died on the front lawn.

I feel for the mother most; she essentially lost her whole family.

I know she blames her mum for what happened because she was the one who withheld the medication.

I can imagine that the mum blames herself too.

It was a there, but for the grace of God, go we moment.

That was the worst crime that happened in our area for quite a while.

26.The kidnapping of Michael Dunahee.

He is still just considered missing but its been 20+ years.

Youd have to be pretty optimistic to believe he didnt meet a horrible fate.

He was just a small boy when taken and the incident absolutely ROCKED My small crime free city.

27.Growing up two brothers murdered their parents and put them in bags in the Attic.

29.We sold our house when I was 9 and moved a few miles away.

The couple we sold the house to was nice enough, but a little odd.

Fast forward about 12 years.

Im in college and these people have a son themselves.

One day the man cornered his wife in the dining room and blew her head off with a shotgun.

They had been having marital trouble prior to that but Im not sure what exactly set him off.

Kind of creepy to know that happened in my old house.

36.The 10 mile radius around my childhood home is like catnip to serial killers and evil.
