Two Dead Fathers and a Demon: The 2008 Texas Exorcism Murder
The 2008 murder of 13-month-old Amora Bain Carson in Tatum, Texas remains one of the most disturbing capital cases in modern American history. Her mother, Jesseca Bain Carson, and the mother's boyfriend, Blaine Keith Milam, were both convicted of capital murder after a sheriff's investigation, forensic evidence including 24 human bite marks, and a partial jailhouse confession placed them at the center of what they later called an exorcism. Milam was sentenced to death; Carson received life without parole under the Texas law of parties. He was executed by lethal injection on September 25, 2025.
This one moves slowly through the parts most people don't know. There's a boy who was raised in a sickroom instead of a classroom, and a teenage girl who came into a small inheritance and lost herself somewhere inside it. There's a Ouija board, a pawned chainsaw, and 30 hours that ended with the smallest possible victim. There's the bite mark science, the IQ tests, and the question of who was steering whom. Werner Herzog couldn't stop thinking about it. Neither could the courts, for 17 years.
