Jessica Carson was only 17 years old when she met 18 year old Blaine Milam in 2008. he proposed to her on prom night and she happily accepted Jessica was a Teen Mom with a baby from a previous relationship her 13 month old girl's name was Amora and during this time Blaine appeared to love Amora like she was his own daughter soon Jessica left her mother's home and moved in with her fiance in an apartment in Longwood Texas Amora Ben Carson was born on November 12 2007 to Jessica Carson and Arlen moutina Arlen only saw Amora twice as he was serving in the armed forces overseas he and Jessica eventually separated Amura was described by family as a happy toddler full of life who never cried but what seemed like a fairy tale romance was not all that it was cracked up to be during the summer of 2008 Jessica's Family began to see her less often in October she no longer had any contact with her mother fact she began telling people that her mother killed her father Jessica became very withdrawn and unconcerned about her appearance the once neatly dressed and outgoing girl was a complete shell of her former self Blaine was a jealous man who started controlling every aspect of his fiancee's life Jessica never left their apartment except with Blaine friends were no longer allowed to visit and Jessica was with Blaine at all times even as far as to be forced to stay with him during his work hours Blaine began using Jessica's passwords to gain access to her social media accounts where he'd pretend to be her Blaine also had prior run-ins with the law in March of 2007 he had gotten into trouble for breaking into an area home while inside he found the bedroom of a 13 year old girl and went through her belongings according to Rusk County district attorney William Brown quote he went through her underwear drawer and then took adult magazine pictures he cut out and wrote obscene notes on the pictures telling her he would like to perform each Act with her end quote Lane was charged with second-degree felony criminal solicitation of a minor and was sentenced on August 22 2008 to spend 180 days in jail now that sentence if it was actually followed would have put Blaine Behind Bars until February of 2009. this is an important thing to note for later on in our story those conditions also prohibited him from being around children except for his own biological kids or siblings now as such he should have never been allowed near Amora Blaine only served 48 days on work release meaning that he went to work each day but was locked up in the Rusk County Jail each night then he stopped returning during this time Blaine Jessica and Amora had moved out of their apartment in Longwood and into his mother's trailer in Tatum Texas Blaine never updated his address with the courts and failed to register as an offender which he had been ordered to by Court as such officials in Russ County lost track of Blaine and never bothered to look for him What occasion the move Jessica had purchased a Ouija board so that the couple could communicate with her dead fathers Jessica's father had taken his own life when she was just 10 years old Jessica was the one who discovered his body allegedly the Ouija board began telling her things that only her father would know it also allegedly told Jessica that her mother had killed her father and that the only way to get peace from it was to do something about it in September of that same year Blaine's father passed away from a stroke now according to reports the two had been very close Blaine had left Public School in the fourth grade with his father acting as a teacher and homeschooling him thereafter at some point Jessica began having delusions that both Blaine and their apartment were possessed by demons which prompted their move she felt that her fiance was possessed based on his Expressions tone of voice and as she put it something that wasn't what I knew Blaine to be Blaine explained that after the demon came into him he could talk to God and he said Jessica was causing this by lying to him Jessica claimed that she no longer questioned Blaine because he told her quote God says there's things that you don't need to know right now end quote according to their former landlord Blaine and Jessica left the apartment in shambles with rotting food left in the refrigerator she also found a knife that was hidden in the tank of the toilet in a light bulb that had been used to smoke Crystal perhaps this is how Blaine was able to talk to God on December 1st 2008 Blaine woke Jessica to tell her that Amore was possessed by a demon and was walking Amore was just over a year old and she personally had not yet learned to walk he claimed that this occurred because Jessica had not been honest with him and that God was tired of her lies really Blaine was just smoking stuff out of light bulbs again Jessica asked him if there was something they could do to which Blaine claimed that God would show him how to do an exorcism and that it would help Amora according to Jessica Blaine conducted this exorcism in the master bedroom while she remained in another room watching TV the next part of our story gets even more delusional in Jessica's mind Amora was like Chucky from Child's Play or Gage from pet cemetery in her words quote the boy dies and comes back to life all evil and stuff end quote she claimed that Amore was biting Blaine to where it was drawing blood on his hands Blaine allegedly took pictures of Amora and gave them to Jessica according to Jessica one of her eyes was stretched downward and all warped like that Jessica claimed that she heard horrible Cries From Amor as Blaine was attempting this exorcism once he left the door open he told Jessica that Amora ran out now keep in mind Amore couldn't run anywhere she couldn't even walk yet the mother entered the master bedroom where Blaine told her that Amora was under the bed hiding before he ordered her to leave according to Jessica when she saw Amora she wasn't harmed but this was not the case at all Amora had been very badly beaten Blaine told her that God told him that Amura was hitting herself in the head with a hammer at some point during the evening they decided to take a little trip they placed Amore in her car seat and then drove to Walmart where Blaine went inside and Jessica waited in the car according to Jessica Blaine was tempted to sell his soul to the devil and thereby gain Amore's release from demonic possession he said it might be required of him but Jessica urged him not to be trapped by the devil in that way he agreed and went back to the master bedroom with the baby to resume the exorcism Jessica told Blaine that she would rather have her daughter go to heaven now than spend a life with Satan having her soul except Blaine didn't save her soul he killed her as a result of this exorcism conducted by Blaine Amora suffered innumerable injuries that led to her death this little girl was beaten so severely that the fractures to her skull connected with each other as if they were a jigsaw puzzle and her brain was torn and severely damaged and arm and leg had spiral fractures indicating that they were Twisted in two her torso was either struck by a blunt object or squeezed until the ribs and her sternum broke she had 18 rib fractures in total her body was riddled with no less than 24 distinct bite marks her head and face were so scraped and so bruised that all of the injuries combined into one giant injury she had bleeding in her eyes around her optic nerves and around her jugular vein which indicated strangulation the underside of her tongue was lacerated from blunt force trauma her liver was torn and her private parts were so horrifically damaged that both orifices became connected as one opening let that sink in for a second and keep this fact in mind when we discuss evidence later on in the episode because of all the injuries Amora sustained it was not possible to determine which one was the final injury and no specific singular cause of death could be determined several of the injuries on their own would have been fatal the little girl was left in a hole in the bathroom floor police were called several hours later and when they arrived she was entirely stiff and in rigor at 10 37 a.
m on December 2nd 2008 Blaine called 9-1-1 and the first thing he said was quote my name is Blaine Milam and my daughter I just found her dead end quote Russ County Patrol Sergeant Kevin Roy arrived at the trailer 20 minutes later two ambulances were already there EMTs were standing in the doorway of the master bedroom where Blaine and Jessica were kneeling on the floor with Amora she wasn't moving or breathing and she was heavily bruised in fact her whole face was one large bruise with circular marks all over her body that looked like they were caused by a Coke can after lead investigator Sergeant Amber Rogers arrived sergeant Roy took Blaine aside to talk while Sergeant Rogers talked to Jessica Blaine told sergeant Roy that he and Jessica had left Amora alone in the trailer and walked up the road to meet a man named Clark who was going to clear some land for him they were gone for about an hour and when they came back they claimed to have found their baby in that condition Blaine was calm collected and completely cooperative after the interview sergeant Roy read the pair their Miranda rights he told them that when the crime scene investigation was done they would be taken to the Sheriff's Office for more questioning and to have their clothes collected shortly thereafter Texas Ranger Kenny Ray arrived at the scene and noticed Jessica and Blaine embracing to Ranger Ray the two look like grieving parents not suspects Ranger Ray conducted an hour-long interview with Blaine in the front seat of his patrol car Blaine told the ranger that authorities were more than welcome to search his car in his home he denied any involvement in amora's death he also gave Ranger Ray the names of possible suspects and said whoever did this should be hung in the recorded interview Blaine explained that Jessica was his fiancee and that Amore was Jessica's child but that they both lived with him and that he was Raising that baby Blaine then told Ranger Ray the same story that he had told sergeant Roy he added that when he and Jessica got home they found Amora not in her crib but in a hole in the floor of the bathroom that he was remodeling he said that Amora had a blood ring around her mouth and that it looked like she had been biting the insulation she was still breathing so they called 9-1-1 however Blaine later told Ranger Ray that Jessica called 9-1-1 before they found Mora and that when they found her she was dead Ranger Ray's tone eventually became accusatory he told Blaine that he knew that he was lying and that no one would believe his story and that everyone would think that he had beat the baby because he was the only man in the house Blaine again denied any involvement in amora's death and offered to take a polygraph test finally Ranger Ray told Blaine that he was free to go meaning that he was free to get out of the patrol car but not to leave a scene by then Ranger Ray considered Blaine a suspect the ranger also interviewed Jessica now according to Ranger Ray At first she was crying and acting very distraught but then there was a pretty drastic change in her demeanor she referred to Amora as that baby and told Ranger Ray the bizarre story that we shared with you earlier regarding the exorcism of course the two were immediately taken into custody and they were held at the Rusk County Jail the investigation quickly poked holes in Blaine's story Shane and Dwight Clark of Clark Timber denied meeting with him on December 2nd Crystal Dobson manager of the instacash pawn shop in Henderson said that shortly after she opened her shop on December 2nd Jessica and Blaine came in and pawned an electric chainsaw in an air impact tool surveillance video showed the two in the pawn shop for about 15 minutes the couple were seen on surveillance video from the Exxon in Henderson shortly thereafter Blaine also called his sister Teresa Shea that morning before 9 30. crying and saying that he had found Amora dead Teresa told him to call 9-1-1 but Blaine did not do so until 10 37.
