Carson Amora and Blain mam forever altering their lives in the morning they found the lifeless body of their beloved baby girl Lora in a hole within the bathroom that Milam was renovating terrified they wasted no time and called 911 around 10:30 a. m. and the law enforcement swiftly responded to the Tatum home I was sitting right here at this desk where we are now and I received a phone call from the lieutenant of the Russ County Sheriff's Department C Division and he told me that they had a dead baby gave me the location and he said you need to come out here as authorities entered into the house they made a chilling and stomach churning Discovery blood stains were everywhere and there on the floor laid little am with her body stiff and rigid showing unimaginable signs of torture signs of severe beating biting strangulation and blows from a heavy object like a hammer were all over the tiny body according to the investigators she had so many fractures and severe injuries all over her body that she looked horrible like Chucky or pet cemetery each wound on a mora spoke of the unimaginable torturous death she had endured the tragic incident shook the entire Community

mutina an overseas army man despite not being her biological father Jessica's boyfriend mam loved amoric dearly as if she were his own daughter the bond they formed was profound and he couldn't bear the heartbreaking truth of losing someone with whom he' shared so many Cherished Memories now his sole desire was to seek Justice for her however the journey to uncover the truth behind amora's death was filed with disturbing Revelations that would leave a lasting impact witnessing the horrific nature of the crime Russ County Patrol Sergeant Kevin Roy was called to the crime scene on December 2nd morning as he examined the infant he noticed multiple circular bruises across her body that he suspected had been caused by cocan deeply shaken by the baby's condition he initiated an investigation focusing on Jessica and mam the only occupants of the house at the time when asked about the incident the couple spun a web of bizarre tales that shocked the investigating authorities they gave us numerous stories at the onset first that the baby had been involved in the car crash day before then the story was that the dogs in the at the house had gotten a hold of the baby it was obvious it wasn't dog sensing something was wrong the lead investigator Sergeant Amber Rogers along with Sergeant Kevin again asked Mam and Jessica separately about what had transpired that morning but this time mam told Sergeant Kevin another story that he and Jessica had left Amora unattended in the trailer while they visited a man named Clark who was working on a land clearing project nearby they were away for about an hour and upon their return they found a Morris crib empty and the baby in a distressing condition inside the bathroom having suffered severe injuries the crime scene was thoroughly investigated and all evidence was gathered shortly after when Texas Ranger Kenny Ray arrived he noticed Jessica and mam still crying embracing each other in his view they appeared to be grieving parents though they didn't emerge suspicious their previous strange stories about the incident hinted at something very different to Ranger Kenny so he decided to conduct another interview with them he took malam into his patrol car for an official interview during which malam told the same story he' already told the authorities mam also provided him with names of possible suspects and expressed his belief that whomever committed the crime would be hung come on sit down it'd be warmer in here hey B come on in and have a seat I want to make sure that um you understand I'm a Texas Ranger okay and I've got a a tape recorder playing right now but you're not under arrest you understand that I mean you're sitting here in my car and and I'm talking because the tape can't see us it can only hear

having the baby did that cause a problem in your relations he loved that little baby why would he hurt her huh why would he hurt her he wouldn't why would he lie to me then huh why would he lie to me he told me you were an honor graduate from Long View High School you're a very smart girl y'all were together this morning for about an hour or an hour and a half and your stories do not match one of

promise you I will believe you but they won't and they're going to think we're lying about it and we're not that's why we made up this story so when he confronted Jessica firmly she revealed a shocking story of demonic possession and exorcism started really freaking me out and you know now it's gotten into a more now and then I said okay well um can't we like have an exorcism or something to get rid of it but Blain came back outside and I said what did you run in the house saying am Mo for he said God told me she got that hammer and was hitting herself in the head and those marks on her head was I think from that hammer where she was hitting herself or that demon was hitting herself on the head she claimed that aora was possessed by a demon and the demon had killed her by hitting her with a hammer she also insisted that Milan was innocent and he loved Amora and would never harm her but investigators weren't ready to believe such a bizarre story and they took some decisive steps sensing Foul Play The Authorities swiftly arrested Jessica and malam and transported them to the Sheriff's Office for intensive questioning after his arrest malam faced another round of interrogation defensively denying any involvement in amora's tragic death but the investigation was far from over investigators delv deeper into the activities of Mam and Jessica on the morning of December 2nd 2008 unraveling a web of Deceit they caught Mam's lie about meeting the man named Clark on the morning of the incident when authorities reached Clark they discovered that the meeting never took place the mystery deepened more when Crystal Dobson the manager of instacash pawn shop and Henderson came forward with startling information she claimed that very morning Jessica and malam had visited her shop to pwn tool and borrow cash the surveillance video showed them there for 15 minutes revealing a different story than what mam had told authorities in the pawn shop he had some old tools like one of them was an old electric chainsaw that he was trying to pawn for money now there's conflicting stories over why they were doing that whether they were on the run or whether they were trying to get money for the alleged exercism or things like that but he's trying to pawn these tools adding to the mystery authorities found that the couple had also visited the Walmart shopping mall and a gas station minutes after leaving the pawn shop both captured on CCTV footage from Teresa Shay Mam's sister they got another chilling clue mam had called her before 9:30 a.
m. on December 2nd crying and claiming that he'd found Amora dead despite Teresa urging him to call 911 mam waited until 10:37 a. m.
to do so with new Clues emerging the case was taking a Sinister turn hinting at some horrific secrets of the couple the mounting evidence combined with Jessica's bizarre story of demonic possession convinced authorities that both Jessica and mam were surely involved in amora's tragic death meanwhile came the most harrowing Revelation yet amora's autopsy report it contained disturbing details so gruesome that the experienced forensic expert was left stunned the medical examiner determined that am Mor's death was due to homicidal violence resulting from multiple blood Force injuries and possible strangulation forensic evidence revealed that the child had multiple fractures in her skull that were interconnected like a jigsaw pointing towards the fact that she might have been beaten severely with her brain torn and extensively damaged with the estimation of how many fractures a child suffered and a lot of them are what's called spiral fractures which uh is twisting of the bone where the the break instead of going laterally or whatever was go around the bone in a spiral shape she also had spiral fractures and an arm and leg indicating they'd been Twisted Apart Her torso and ribs also had injuries that appeared to be from having been struck and squeezed Mo's body and it's covered in what we later know are 24 bite marks her body bore at least 24 distinct bite marks the scraping and bruising on her head and face were so severe that they formed one massive injury her liver was also badly injured and she had lacerations on the underside of her tongue her private Aries sustained severe and devastating wounds possibly caused by blunt objects and also she had marks of strangulation the most harrowing part was that she endured all of this while she was still breathing the Revelation cast darker Shadows hinting that the true story was far more disturbing than anyone had ever imagined now authorities were desperate to uncover the truth and understand the circumstances that had led to a More's tragic condition despite the mounting evidence Milam remained in denial constantly refusing to admit any offense but during an intense interrogation Jessica finally broke down and revealed every harrowing detail of the excruciating exorcism that had led to amora's agonizing death it all started in January 2008 when Jessica met mam at a prom night she was instantly drawn to him sensing a connection that was hard to ignore after some time when Milan proposed she eagerly accepted seeing in him a kind and caring man who would love both her and her daughter Amora Jessica believed mam would provide the fatherly affection Amora needed and she moved into his apartment in Long View Texas but she had no idea what surpris es awaited them in their new life together according to family and friends Jessica was a devoted mother always caring for her daughter Amora however mam gradually became a controlling and abusive partner isolating Jessica from her Social Circle and manipulating her religious beliefs over time Jessica changed the one stylish and outgoing woman became withdrawn neglecting her appearance and losing her spark in September 2008 after after Mam's father died from a stroke the couple's relationship took a drastic turn after my husband died it's like she just turned into a different person but see she lost her father too you know a while before blind P before uh Daniel passed away malam was utterly distraught over the loss of his beloved father who had been both his friend and Mentor he became increasingly violent and manipulative towards Jessica with instances of domestic violence escalating by October 2008 Jessica had cut off all contact with her friends and acquaintances whenever any loved ones tried to visit she always had an excuse Malang was controlling everything and Jessica never left the apartment unless she was with mam even accompanying him to work consumed by jealousy mam showed her no respect or sympathy but strangely he was affectionate towards Amora often playing with her and sharing cherished moments the contrast was baffling raising questions about the true nature of their domestic life Jessica told investigators about a bizarre sequence of events that would soon affect their lives it was in September Blain's dad died in September early September and right after he died we bought in a Ouija board okay and we didn't know they were bad and it was an omen or anything like that like we're very strong Believers of God and everything and we bought an ouija board and then you know we we we heard that it worked but we never actually did believe people when they said it it work so we want to try it out for ourselves and then you know I I my dad's dead too he died when I was 10 I'm sorry and um you know so I asked my daddy that I thought you know a question that him he would know that nobody else would know and I had never told bla that and so when he spelled it out and everything I was like you know this is my daddy and so we did that and you know like this is like a telephone to heaven and we thought it was really cool and everything so we just we kept talking to our dads telling them how much we missed them and you know and we talked to him for about 8 hours straight that night and we started getting really freaked and we um we got this little music box from one of his friends that's Chinese and it has these Chinese people singing you know God will protect his demons leave this house cuz they said our apartment was possessed cuz weird stuff started happening and everything so we left and we kept that music box there and blessed it and then we blessed the Ouija board and then we threw it away you know kind of like the Exorcist you know have you ever seen you know when demons come into people or whatever and um the devil had came into Blain and you know I mean it sounds crazy but I mean I would not be making this stuff up I'm Christian I believe in demon possession yeah and so and I am too and you know I I kind of knew I mean I knew about demon possession but you know you can't really believe something for sure until you see it with your own eyes and so when the devil started coming in me talking to me saying you know I'm going to take Blain Soul tonight you know all this kind of stuff it started really freaking me out and you know now it's gotten into a more now and then I said okay well um can't we like have an ex ISM or something to get rid of it I was like you know there's got to be something else we can do I was like we can get money we can go to a minister and see if he can help or go to find a priest somewhere and see if you know we can make payments on them doing exorcism or something see if we can do just anything there's got to be another way and he said God said it was too late and I was like what do you mean God said it was too late and then um he was crying while he was saying this and everything he was like because if she doesn't go to heaven now she will live her laugh um with Satan having her her soul one day they bought a Ouija board to communicate with their deceased fathers during one of these sessions the Ouija board revealed a shocking message to Jessica it claimed her mother had killed her father in her childhood and after knowing this she stopped talking to her mother and became more isolated soon Jessica started feeling that their apartment was haunted by evil spirits and they reloc located to Mam's mother's house in Tatum initially the three of them lived happily there but Jessica started noticing unsettling changes in Mam's Behavior voice and expressions convinced that he was possessed by demons Jessica one day confronted mam who accepted that but blamed it on Jessica mam claimed Jessica's lies were causing this in him he also claimed that the demon had given him the power to communicate with God according to Jessica malam remained loving caring with Amora even during his episodes of possession but things took the darkest turn when mm's mother who was also living with him went to stay with a relative leaving the three of them alone in the house perhaps if she'd stayed the horrific incident might not have occurred on December 1st 2008 Milam woke Jessica with a disturbing claim that Amora who was too young to walk had been possessed by a demon and was walking around he insisted that this happened because iica had not been truthful with them and the God was angry with her lies as punishment the demon had taken control of amora's body desperate Jessica asked if there's anything they could do mam responded that God would guide him in performing an exorcism to save Amora from the demonic possession Jessica trusted Milam's assurance that it would help Amora and she let mam do whatever he wanted he supposedly was sitting in the living room watching TV while while he's right inside the door there doing whatever to this child so she relaxed in the master bedroom watching TV and mam took little Lora to the back bedroom to perform the exorcism as the Sinister actions of the exorcism started to unfold the story became far more disturbing than anyone could have imagined Jessica claimed that she heard horrific cries of Amora coming from the room but she let it continue as the process of exorcism after a while Jessica entered the room and mam told her that Amora was hiding under the bed Jessica checked and saw that her daughter was all right and left the room as instructed by malam then the session of exorcism continued until the following morning by the morning of December 2nd they set off for Walmart During the drive mam revealed his desperation to free Amora from her demonic possession even if it meant selling her soul to the devil but Jessica insisted that her soul should go to heaven instead after they returned home malam resumed the process of exorcism Jessica admitted that she allowed him to proceed despite the terrifying sounds of the demon crying out and screaming and the noise of violent banging coming from the room malam did not hesitate to use heavy objects during the exorcism at one point he resorted to tying the child with a rope to subdue the demon Jessica claimed that during the exorcism Amora had been biting malam fiercely however the reality was that Amora herself had been severely bitten the situation escalated until the baby was left lifeless in a hole in the bathroom floor then they finally called 911 around 10:30 a. m.
