Shortly after 8 p.m. on Sept. 24, 2021, the San Jose Police Department received a call about a 3-year-old little girl named Arely Naomi Proctor, who was unresponsive, not breathing and likely deceased. The call was made by her mother, Claudia Hernandez-Santos. Emergency medical workers arrived and took Arely to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead less than an hour after the call. It was then that police would learn little Arley died after her mother, grandfather, and uncle attempted to perform an exorcism on her, believing that she was possessed by a demon.
