Jeremy Tremaine Williams, 37, has been charged with capital murder in connection with the death of Kamarie Holland, 5, and the death of his month-old daughter, Naudia Treniece Williams, in 2005
Man accused of murdering five-year-old girl after bribing her mother to have sex with the child in Alabama is now being questioned for the 2005 murder of his one-month-old daughter at an air base from Alaska.
Police in North Pole, Alaska, say they have reopened the investigation into the death of one-month-old Naudia Treniece Williams in 2005, the daughter of suspect Jeremy Williams.
North Pole Police Chief Steve Dutra on Thursday confirmed the reopening of the investigation into the death of Williams’ daughter. She said Williams, who has a long history of child abuse charges, was considered the prime suspect.
The case was reopened after Williams’ arrest in the Holland case, Dutra added, although no charges have been filed, WBRL reported. He was originally considered a suspect at the time of Naudia’s death, although investigators were unable to gather enough evidence to charge him at that time.
Williams currently faces separate capital murder charges in connection with the murder of five-year-old Kamarie Holland. On December 13, Holland was reported missing by her mother, Kristy Siple, in Columbus, Georgia.
She was later found dead the same evening of that day at a house where Williams was residing in Phenix City, Alabama. Williams was arrested that day.
As of 2005, Williams was living with the baby’s mother, who has not been named at the North Pole, where she was stationed while in an undisclosed role in the Air Force. The baby’s sudden death, which was deemed blunt trauma, has been investigated by the Air Force and the North Pole Police Department.
After Williams’ arrest in Alabama last month, County Sheriff Russell Heath Taylor raised the Alaska case.
“We have information that he was a suspect in a year-long death in Alaska where he was a suspect but was never charged because he was unable to obtain sufficient evidence in this case,” said Taylor at a press conference in December. 14.
Kamarie’s mother Kristin Siple (pictured with the child) knew Williams, but law enforcement did not say to what extent due to a gag order issued by the circuit court judge in the Russell County, David Johnson.

Siple was also charged with the murder of her daughter, as well as human trafficking and murder in kidnapping, rape and sodomy. Williams will also be charged with producing child pornography, Taylor said.
Hoskins said she picked up Kamarie to spend the weekend with her. Kamarie lived in Phenix City with her father, Corey Holland, who had custody of it.
‘I’m a mom. I had nothing to do with it, ” Hoskins told local ABC News. “She was my life. I lived for her every day. She was my only daughter. I have 3 boys and she. ‘
If convicted of Holland’s murder, Williams could face the death penalty, as it is a form of capital punishment in Georgia and Alabama.
During a press conference on December 14, Russell County Sheriff Heath Taylor said he believed Kamarie had been sexually assaulted.

Prior to Kamarie’s death, Williams had been charged with child abuse in the past, but was never convicted. A week before Kamarie’s death, he pleaded not guilty to slapping his wife in front of a child.
Williams was also a suspect in the murder of a one-year-old boy in Alabama and was charged with immersing a three-year-old boy in a bowl of boiling water in 2009.
His defense argued that the boy had poured water on himself. Williams was acquitted in 2012.
‘It’s a difficult time. It was a very difficult time. Corey is basically beside himself. We try to take care of everything for him, ”Kamarie’s cousin Adrienne Davis said of the baby’s father.
