The case of Camdan Jerrard Davis first gained public attention in late 2023, when it began circulating widely within online investigative communities. The narrative was introduced primarily through a series of videos published by YouTuber MamaMax. In these videos, MamaMax alleged that Davis was the leader of an organized cult that targeted children and young adults.
According to the videos, Davis claimed to possess supernatural qualities, describing himself as a “werewolf god” and a “vampire.” The allegations stated that he used occult-themed beliefs to exert control over followers and to facilitate abuse. The initial presentation of the claims framed them as urgent and called on other online creators to help bring attention to the situation.
Much of the account relied on testimony from Shelby “Spencer” Slayton, who had previously been reported missing in 2016. In interviews and recorded statements, Slayton said she became involved with the group at age 16. She stated that she was led to believe Davis had supernatural abilities and could enable a physical transformation for those who followed him.
Slayton described the group’s belief system as a detailed mythology. According to her, it included references to archangels, the blue-skinned Navi from James Cameron’s “Avatar” films, and the idea that Davis had become a god following the death of the Christian deity. These elements were presented as central to the group’s internal structure and recruitment process.
She further claimed that the group primarily operated through the Kik messaging application. According to her account, Davis directed the daily lives of members through the platform. Slayton alleged that the environment involved coerced relationships and demands for explicit images, which she said were later used for blackmail. Slayton stated that followers were recruited from across the United States and from other countries over several yeard. One example cited was a follower in Australia who reportedly sent Davis thousands of dollars.
As the story gained visibility, questions about its credibility emerged. Some viewers expressed concern that the presentation resembled an Alternate Reality Game (ARG) or fictional series rather than a conventional investigation. The cinematic editing style and narrative structure of the videos contributed to this perception.
MamaMax and Slayton maintained that the events described were real. However, critics noted the absence of supporting materials typically associated with criminal cases. These included police reports, court records, independent media coverage, or verifiable online records beyond MamaMax’s content.
Attempts to verify Davis’s identity produced limited results. Some online researchers observed that screenshots of accounts attributed to him often lacked usernames or searchable metadata. Others suggested that the name “Camdan Jerrard Davis” could be a pseudonym or a fictional construct. These gaps led to speculation that the narrative may have been a dramatized production created for online engagement. Some theorized that Slayton, as a real individual connected to the creator, was used to provide credibility to the storyline.
While MamaMax produced multiple videos about the alleged cult, he has gone largely silent in the wake of additional revelations about his content and personal activities and there have been no further updates on the case.
