Sleep killer Alexander McCartney sentenced to at least 20 years in prison

The identity of the little girl who took her own life after being abused by McCartney can now be revealed as 12-year-old Cimarron Thomas.

Cimarron lived in West Virginia, USA with her mother, father and siblings.

She played the violin, loved elephants and chatted with her friends on Snapchat.

They were an ordinary American family, but in 2018 a predator was about to destroy their lives.

Cimarron took her own life rather than submit to McCartney’s depraved demands to include her younger sister in the abuse.

Her father, Ben, a US Army veteran, committed suicide 18 months later without knowing what caused his daughter’s death.

In 2021, just before McCartney was arraigned on the charges, investigators discovered Cimarron’s identity and what happened to him.

McCartney was eventually charged with her manslaughter — a charge he pleaded guilty to earlier this year.
