A leader at one of the country’s biggest churches has been arrested and charged with murder after the brutal death of her adopted daughter. And she isn’t alone — her whole family is facing charges.
On August 30, San Diego County Sheriff’s Department deputies responded to a call of a child in distress and found an 11-year-old girl covered in bruises and suffering from “severe levels of malnourishment,” according to a spokesperson speaking to The San Diego Union-Tribune. Little Arabella McCormack was rushed to the hospital, but it was too late — she soon died of her injuries. Her death was attributed to child abuse and neglect.
Arabella’s foster father, Brian McCormack arrived at the scene — and shockingly killed himself right there, in the presence of law enforcement. After further investigation, police arrested her foster mother, Leticia McCormack. The McCormacks started fostering Arabella and her two sisters back in 2017 then adopted them outright two years later. At that time the girls were taken out of school and homeschooled. We imagine it was harder for anyone to see the signs of abuse when they weren’t in public. Exactly what kind of abuse the child suffered has not been revealed, but the horrific charges tell a lot of the story.

49-year-old Leticia and her father, Stanley Tom, 75, were booked on Monday and charged with one count of murder each. Along with Leticia’s mother, Adella Tom, 70, they were also charged three counts of torture, and three counts of child abuse — all felonies.
Three counts. Three little girls. This family was allegedly abusing all these children, and it sounds like the other two girls’ lives were in danger, too. Just unimaginable.
