"What the hell are you doing here?"

Amelia Porter is the former accomplice of Benton Farland, who appeared in Amelia Porter.

Background
Amelia had a submissive personality, even as an adult. She had several relationships with younger men, all of whom presumably manipulated her. In 2002, she dated a teenager named Benton Farland, who was fixated on his sister Miriam. Enraged that she wasn't paying attention to him, Benton decided to kill Miriam. As a result, Amelia was pressured by him on October 5 to get high on drugs. With her train of thought disoriented by them, she complied with Benton's orders to kill Miriam and she stabbed her to death. Realizing what she had done, she fled into the wilderness. Amelia eventually took the blame for Miriam's murder after Benton was arrested and claimed she was the dominant partner in their relationship and a manipulative psychopath. Using skills learned from her survivalist father, Amelia managed to make it all the way to Canada and lived in the Northwest Territories for seven years. She then moved back to the U.S. in 2009 under an alias and began living a normal yet seclusive lifestyle.

Modus Operandi
When she killed Miriam Farland, Amelia stabbed her to death with a knife while high on drugs and under Benton's orders. She later tried to kill Rebecca Farland when Benton threatened her at gunpoint.
