ripping a telephone off its hook — reportedly using only her mind.But a nation’s fascination would soon turn to horror and disgust as Boyer — by now a mom — was arrested in 1992 for the murder of her young daughter Amber.

She has long maintained her innocence.Years later, a now-middle-aged Boyer has come forward in a new documentary, “Demons & Saviors,” a three part ABC News series about her painful, often shocking childhood, the murder trial, and her quest to have the conviction overturned, out now on Hulu.

Boyer was born into a Wiccan household in Columbus, Ohio, in 1969. Telekinetic abilities allegedly ran in the family.“My great grandmother and my mom had the ability to make things move without touching them,” Boyer’s biological sister Michelle Parker says. “My grandmother could make a coffee mug move across the table…when my mom would get angry the TV would turn on by itself or pictures would fly off the wall and that always scared me.”Little Christina was abandoned in a hospital by her birth mother, Barbara Jean David at age 2, according to Parker.

She was adopted by locals Joan and John Resch — who allegedly tormented the young girl. Boyer recalls her adoptive father was extremely abusive and had struck her mercilessly often without reason.“His discipline was with fist[s],” Boyer tells an interviewer in one of a series of phone calls from jail. “I was prepared for prison long before I ever came to prison.”By the age of 12, Boyer alleges that her adopted brother — whose name was not revealed in the film — was molesting her.
