Overview
- Jeremy Tremaine Williams is set to be executed by lethal injection on Thursday, Aug. 13, 2026, for the 2021 rape and murder of 5-year-old Kamarie Holland.
- A jury convicted Williams of murder, sodomy, sexual abuse of a child, production of obscene material involving a child, human trafficking, and abuse of a corpse during his 2024 trial.
- Kamarie’s mother, Kristy Siple, pleaded guilty to human sex trafficking for arranging the abuse in exchange for money and is serving a 20-year prison term.
- Investigators say Williams forced the child to smoke meth, filmed sexual assaults, strangled her, and continued to sexually assault her after her death, and prosecutors say he declined to mount a defense or show remorse.
- The scheduled execution is one of three across the country on the same day and has renewed attention on caregiver trafficking, the probe that located Kamarie’s body in Phenix City, Alabama, and the toll the case has taken on investigators and the child’s community.
