Where is Christina Boyer Now? We discuss the 2023 Hulu true crime documentary series Demons and Saviors, which contains details that some readers will find disturbing.

Demons and Saviors is a three-part limited series that examines one of the strangest true crime cases ever. The story is a shocking and disturbing case and explores the details of the death of a three-year-old child.

With a backstory that could almost come straight from a Stephen King story, the horrific events centered around Christina Boyer and her daughter, and the reasons behind the events would go on to stun the world.

Boyer is currently serving a thirty-year sentence for the alleged murder of her daughter, and the case became a media circus as more and more revelations about the story were revealed.

In this article, we will explore the case and answer the question: Where is Christina Boyer Now?

Who is Christina Boyer, and what did she allegedly do?

Christina Boyer had a rough childhood and spent a lot of her teenage years in foster care. It was in her early teens that she earned the title “Poltergeist Girl” after claiming that she possessed telekinesis and that objects around her would move on their own.

Intense media speculation and investigation surrounded this particular episode in her life, and there is enough material there for a separate documentary on its own.

Later in her teens, Christina would talk of a previous relationship she had that was abusive and brutal. She would eventually move away to a trailer park in Carroll County, Georgia, which lies in the Bible Belt region of the state, and living with her new boyfriend, David Herrin, Christina’s unwed status meant she was judged harshly by the locals.

Christina was working in Carrollton on the day that her young daughter Amber Bennett had to be taken quickly to the hospital for a head trauma that would eventually lead to her death.

Returning from work, she would find the child with her partner, who said he had tried to awaken Amber from her nap but was unsuccessful. Earlier in the week, the child had received a bump on her head falling from her car seat, but it seemed to be nothing that concerned the child or her carers.

Amber would sadly die before anything could be done to help her, and the police would take Christina in for questioning.

After her conviction, Christina is serving life plus 20 years in Pulaski State Prison in Hawkinsville, GA.

She would take what is known as an Alford Plea to avoid the death penalty.

Why do they believe Christina Boyer was wrongfully incarcerated?

There are many people and agencies that believe that Christina was wrongly convicted. It seems that a lot of the prosecution’s case against Christina was based on claims that she had been covering up abuse of the child by her partner.

The investigation was heavily criticized, and evidence offered by the prosecutors would be refuted by the findings in Amber’s autopsy. The conduct of the investigators was also questioned, and many people would feel that Christina was not guilty and had been imprisoned wrongfully.

Her partner David Herrin would also receive a twenty-year sentence for child cruelty leading to other theories about the events being formed. In 2019, a group of three students released a YouTube video that explored the case.

The short film entitled She Was Her Mother gained a lot of attention, and the team behind the film would go on to push for Christina’s release, starting a website to raise awareness of the case and to push for her release.

To this day, there are discrepancies in the story, and there is no definitive answer to who struck the blow to little Amber that would lead to her death.
