LACLEDE COUNTY, Mo. — Jamie Litton, the mother of three-year-old Blake Litton who was murdered by Jamie's boyfriend Thomas Presley in 2012, is pregnant again.
Litton is currently facing a charge of First-Degree Murder, and is being held in Laclede County Jail. Presley was found guilty of murder on Jan. 28, 2015.

According to KRCG, Laclede County Sheriff Wayne Merritt says Litton intentionally clogged the toilet in her cell, and a male inmate who helps with maintenance was sent without a guard—which is against jail policy—into her cell to fix it.
Merritt reported that was when the rendezvous occurred.
The guard who allowed the inmate to enter Litton's cell alone has been fired.
Litton had her first daughter shortly after getting married at age 18; her second daughter was born 16 months later. The marriage soon ended, and the girls ended up with their paternal grandparents.
She remarried, and gave birth to Blake and his younger sister. She retained custody of them after a second divorce.
In April 2011, Litton started dating Presley. After being badly beaten by Presley, Blake died on Feb. 16, 2012, at Bothwell Hospital in Sedalia.
