Parents From Hell: Lamar Jr and Ruth Vickerstaff charged with the murder of daughter, Amore Joveah Wiggins aka Opelika Baby Jane, who died from unspeakable child abuse

Amore Joveah Wiggins

Another thing that really burns me up here is that the biological mom, Sherry Wiggins, who somehow lost custody to the father, ended up pay child support to him up to this very day. Her visitation was suspected when he obtained legal and physical custody. So she did not know what was going on or that her child was missing and murdered. She has cooperated fully with the detectives. My heart truly breaks for her.
