According to the court documents, the 35-year-old mother is now charged with her 5-year-old daughter’s kidnapping and death. She was arrested and taken into custody on Tuesday. Prosecutors said the child died of asphyxiation. Police confirmed that the victim’s mother and the 37-year-old man who abused and killed the little girl had a previous relationship.

The 35-year-old mom from Georgia, Kristy Siple, is now charged with one count each of sex trafficking, murder during a kidnapping, murder during rape and murder during sodomy in the death of 5-year-old Kamarie Holland. Investigators say the little girl was raped then strangled to death.

The child was reportedly found dead in an abandoned Alabama house two weeks ago, according to reports. Her mother reported her missing earlier this month. Kristy signed a waiver that will allow authorities to extradite her to Alabama to face trial.

Prosecutors said the 35-year-old defendant reportedly ‘agreed with another adult person to pay her for having sexual intercourse and sodomy with her minor child,’ according to reports.

On Dec. 13, Kristy called the police and told them that her daughter was missing. The woman reportedly told investigators that her 5-year-old daughter slept in bed with her and woke her up at approximately 3 a.m.

The woman then went back to sleep and claimed that when she awoke at approximately 6:10 a.m. her front door was open and her daughter was gone.

Investigators found the girl’s body in a vacant house in Alabama. Prosecutors said the child died of asphyxiation and had been sexually abused, according to reports.

Prosecutors also said that the residence where the child’s body was found had previously been occupied by Jeremy Tremaine Williams. Police confirmed that Siple and Williams had a previous relationship. Williams was arrested a short while later at a motel. He is now charged him with capital murder of a child under the age of 14.

Prosecutors said that Williams is facing additional charges, including: capital murder during a kidnapping, capital murder during a rape, capital murder during sodomy and production of child pornography.

The victim’s father released the following statement:

“The amount of pain Kristy has caused by ripping Kamarie out of our lives will never cease. We are glad to see that she has been arrested. We are one step closer to justice for Kamarie.  It’s our hope that justice is served. Kristy should receive whatever the maximum penalty she can get.

A real mother protects and would die for her children, she is a monster. My family and I will continue to wrestle with the loss of losing our angel Kamarie. We will ask that you continue to make your news about her and the justice she deserves.”

This incident remains under investigation. This is a developing story and it will be updated as new information become available.
