In the mid-1980s, Christina Boyer, then known as Tina Resch, captivated the nation as the "Columbus Poltergeist Kid," claiming she could move objects with her mind. Her family's assertions of her telekinetic powers propelled her to media fame, including a feature on Unsolved Mysteries. However, her life took a dramatic turn, from being a runaway teen to a single mother and domestic violence survivor.

But nothing could have prepared the public for the tragic events of 1992, when Christina was arrested and charged with the murder of her 3-year-old daughter, Amber. Despite maintaining her innocence, she accepted an Alford plea to avoid the death penalty, resulting in a life sentence plus 20 years in prison. The most puzzling aspect of her case is the evidence: Christina was not at home during the critical hours leading up to Amber's death, raising questions about her guilt.

Discover how her life went from paranormal fame to a tangled web of legal battles and the ongoing quest for justice. Will Christina's supporters succeed in exonerating her, or will her conviction stand as a testament to the darker side of fame and family tragedy?
