Convicted child killer who murdered five-year-old Georgia girl after paying victim's mom $2,500 to have sex with her appears emotionless in court as he is sentenced to death

A 'soulless' killer who paid a mother $2,500 to rape and sodomize her five-year-old daughter before murdering her in an abandoned house portrayed no reaction as he was handed four death sentences.

Jeremy Williams, 39, abducted little Kamarie Holland from her home in Columbus, Georgia, before raping and strangling her to death.

Mother Kristen Siple told police she found Kamarie missing and her front door open when she awoke at 5.50am on December 13, 2021.

But she pleaded guilty last month to one count of human sex trafficking and faces up to 20 years in prison after allowing Williams one hour to rape her own daughter.

'If there's ever been somebody that's deserving of the death penalty its Jeremy Williams,' Russell County Sheriff Heath Taylor told reporters.

'He's another type of evil that we in society just don't need walking around.'

Jeremy Williams, 39, betrayed no emotion as he was handed four death sentences by Russell County Circuit Court Judge David Johnson

Kamarie was described in court as 'so sweet and caring' by her now 13-year-old sister 

The little girl's body was found late that night in the basement of a derelict home where Williams had once lived, just across the Alabama state border in Phenix City.

The trial at Russell County Circuit Court saw some jurors reduced to tears as they were played videos of the rape, and bodycam footage of officers finding her body.

Witnesses lined up to condemn the serial child abuser who was already a suspect in the murder of a one-year-old boy in Alabama, and was acquitted of lowering a three-year-old boy into a bowl of boiling water in 2009.

Williams' ex-wife called him 'soulless', telling him: 'You are no longer worth my tears,' and a 23 year-old woman who was just four when she was molested by Williams called him a 'monster'.

'I feel so much that I can't feel at all,' she said.

'You don't deserve life yourself,' Kamarie's father Corey Holland told him. 'We don't have Kamarie and you don't deserve to see your kids or life.'

He also read from a letter written by Kamarie's 13-year-old sister in which she wrote: 'I don't understand why someone would hurt her - she was so sweet and caring.'

Williams was also sentenced to life in prison for production of obscene material of a child and human trafficking, 20 years for conspiracy of human trafficking, and 10 years for abuse of a corpse.

Columbus police officer Sergeant Jane Edenfield who found Kamarie's body returned to the Alabama courtroom for the sentencing on Monday with some of her colleagues.

'To hear the other victims and to know how much he's done. And as one of them said, it took this long,' she said. 'Heartbreaking. Heartbreaking.'

Jury forewoman Stacy Mote also returned for sentencing after delivering the guilty verdict.

'This was a very difficult case to endure, and I am sure you saw all of the emotions on our faces,' she told reporters.

Siple maintained her innocence before pleading guilty last month

'If there's ever been somebody that's deserving of the death penalty it's Jeremy Williams,' Russell County Sheriff Heath Taylor told reporters

'On behalf of all the jurors involved, we are proud of the young victims and witnesses that came forward to speak their difficult truth because we know that was excruciatingly painful.

'By coming forward, they all gave a voice to little Kamari. No child should have to endure what happened to her.'

Williams is now detained on death row at Holman State Prison in Atmore but Russell County District Attorney Rick Chancey said he will probably die before the murderer does.

'At its current pace my life expectancy right now is probably shorter than his,' the 55-year-old told WRBL.

He said he had recently visited the little girl's grave, adding: 'There's no reason that baby should be in the ground. I want to remember her, not this joker. Jeremy is not somebody I want to remember in life.'
