Benton Farland

"Hi, Amelia."

Benton Farland is a spree killer who appeared in Amelia Porter.

Background
Benton's mother died when he was still young, which caused him to become fixated towards his older sister Miriam. However, because she was leading a life of her own as an adult, raising two children named Andy and Rebecca, this caused him to develop a strong psychopathic rage towards her. As a teenager, he began dating a woman named Amelia Porter, who was older than him and had a submissive personality, allowing him to manipulate her. One day in 2002, he got Amelia to become high on drugs, then ordered her to kill Miriam. Her train of thought disoriented by the drugs, Amelia complied and stabbed Miriam to death. She then realized what she had done and fled into the wilderness, while Benton was arrested by police. He feigned innocence and pretended that he was the submissive partner in their relationship, which resulted in him being sentenced to twelve years in prison for Miriam's murder. While in jail, Benton began formulating a scheme to get back together with Amelia once he was released, to which he would then have her emulate what she had done to Miriam, this time using Rebecca, who greatly resembled her mother.

Modus Operandi
Benton killed his first two victims by stabbing them with a steak knife, and also abducted Andy and Rebecca Farland using the same weapon. He then shot his later victims with a handgun stolen from the second victim, a security guard.
