Christina Boyer: The Columbus Poltergeist Kid Charged with Murder
Manage episode 447890414 series 3548514
In the mid-1980s, Christina Boyer captivated the nation as a teenager with an extraordinary claim: that she could move objects with her mind. Known as the “The Columbus Poltergeist Kid”, her family’s insistence on her powers catapulted her to media stardom, even earning her a spot in an Unsolved Mysteries episode. But just as quickly as she rose to fame, her life spiralled out of control, first as a runaway teen, then as a single mother and a domestic violence survivor.
However, no one could have predicted the tragic events that happened in 1992, when Christina was arrested for the unthinkable—charged with the murder of her 3-year-old daughter, Amber. Though she insisted she was innocent, when faced with the death penalty she opted for an Alford plea, admitting no guilt while accepting a life sentence plus 20 years in prison.
Yet, the most perplexing aspect of her case lies in the evidence: how could she be guilty of murdering her own child when she wasn’t even home during the critical hours leading up to Amber’s death? That’s the question Christina and her supporters would like an answer to amidst a tangled web of legal battles.
