The Unbelievable Discovery
On the morning of December 13, 2021, at approximately 5:50 a.m., Kamarie’s mother claimed she woke up to find her daughter missing, and the front door of their home wide open.
Worried and desperate, Kamarie’s mother immediately called the local police department to report her daughter’s disappearance.
Law enforcement swiftly launched a search operation, mobilizing available resources to locate the missing child.
Later that night, the search took a tragic turn.
Detectives discovered Kamarie’s lifeless body in an abandoned home in Phenix City, Alabama.
According to crime scene investigators, Kamarie’s body showed clear signs of sexual abuse and asphyxiation, indicating the unimaginable suffering she had endured.

Criminal Investigation: Details of the Crime
After preliminary investigations, Jeremy Williams, who had previously lived in the abandoned house, quickly became the prime suspect.
As a result of this, he was tracked down and taken into custody by the local police department.
Williams, who was a resident of Columbus, Georgia, at the time of the crime, had a sexual relationship with Kamarie’s mother, Kristy Marie Siple, who was also a prostitute.
He reportedly told her he was tired of her and demanded Kamarie instead, leading to the horrific crime.
According to police reports, Williams sexually assaulted Kamarie, strangled her and left her at the abandoned house where she was later found.
During the investigation, detectives recovered Williams's phone which contained disturbing video recordings of the crime.
The videos, recorded by Williams himself, captured him sexually assaulting Kamarie, forcing her to perform oral sex, and making her smoke methamphetamine with him.
The footage was so graphic and disturbing that even seasoned investigators cried after seeing the video.

In addition to the video evidence, investigators uncovered text messages between Williams and Siple.
These communications detailed the financial agreement that led to Kamarie’s exploitation.
After Williams said he was tired of her, Siple demanded $2500 in exchange for allowing him to sexually abuse Kamarie for one hour.
However, Williams reportedly countered the offer, saying that he was going to pay $1300.
Shockingly, Siple agreed to the terrible arrangement, setting the stage for the horrific crime that followed.
While he agreed to pay $1300, Williams never paid Siple the money, as seen on AL.com.
Police records also revealed that Williams had a history of violent behavior, including prior allegations of child abuse.
According to Yahoo News, he reportedly confessed to killing his one-month-old son in Alaska, claiming he did it because the baby wouldn’t stop crying.
However, he was allowed to go after that initial crime.
Ultimately, Williams was charged with multiple felonies in connection with Kamarie’s death, including capital murder, human trafficking, and production of obscene material involving a child.
The criminal investigation also led to the arrest of Kamarie’s mother, Kristy Siple, who was charged with human trafficking for her role in the crime.
Their arrest marked a critical turning point in the case, bringing a measure of relief to Kamarie’s family and the community.

Justice For Kamarie Holland: The Legal Proceedings
After he was charged to court, Williams pleaded guilty to his crimes, which typically would have avoided a trial and possibly led to a lighter sentence.
However, because the prosecution wanted the death penalty, the case was required to go to trial despite his guilty plea.
During the trial, the prosecution led by District Attorney Rick Chancey presented a compelling case built on overwhelming evidence.
A key piece of that evidence was the video footage from Williams’ phone, which clearly showed him sexually assaulting Kamarie.
These videos, played in court, left jurors visibly shaken, as reported by USA TODAY.
One juror later described the footage as “the most disturbing thing I’ve ever seen.”
The prosecution emphasized that the videos not only proved Williams’ guilt but also highlighted the premeditated and brutal nature of the crime.
The defense, while acknowledging the gravity of the charges, attempted to blame Williams’ mental state at the time of the crime.
They argued that his actions were influenced by drug use, specifically methamphetamine, which they claimed impaired his judgment.
However, this argument failed to sway the jury.

After three days of testimony and deliberation, Williams was found guilty on all charges, including capital murder, sodomy, sexual abuse of a child under 12, production of obscene material involving a child, human trafficking, conspiracy to commit human trafficking, and abuse of a corpse.
During the sentencing phase, Kamarie’s father, Corey Holland Sr., delivered an emotional victim impact statement.
Addressing Williams, he said, “His life compares nothing to Kamarie’s. You don’t deserve life yourself.”
The prosecution agreed with Kamarie’s father, urging the court to impose the death penalty, citing the heinous nature of the crime and Williams’ lack of remorse.
In the end, Judge David Johnson sentenced Williams to death on all four capital murder charges.
In addition to the death sentences, Williams received life imprisonment for the production of obscene material and human trafficking, 20 years for conspiracy to commit human trafficking, and 10 years for abuse of a corpse.
Williams is currently on Alabama’s death row at Holman Correctional Facility.
Siple was sentenced to 20 years in the Alabama Department of Corrections, with credit for time already served.
In addition to her prison sentence, Siple must register as a sex offender, pay court costs, and a $10,000 fine, as reported by 1819 News
She must also pay $100 to the Alabama Crime Victim’s Compensation Commission.
These payments are mandatory for her to be eligible for early release or parole.
Ultimately, the legal proceedings ensured that Williams and Siple were held accountable and justice was served for Kamarie Holland.
