Mom Believing Her Daughter Would Become the ‘Next Jeffrey…

Mother’s Fear

In Indiana, Cheyenne Hill, 34, was emotionless as she received a 30-year prison sentence for the death of her 20-month-old daughter, Elliaunna Plummer, who she feared might become the ‘next Jeffrey Dahmer’. Convicted of neglect by a Lawrence County jury in February, the verdict was linked to the tragic death of her daughter on November 26, 2022.

On Tuesday, Judge John Plummer III pronounced the sentence, describing the situation as “very sad.” In 2022, Elliaunna had been hospitalized with severe injuries, including a brain bleed, a broken collarbone, and multiple bruises on her head and face.

Hill was arrested and charged in September 2023 following a police investigation into the incident, there’s a similar case as heartrending as Kelly Clarkson suing her ex-husband.

She was found guilty of neglect, which led to 20-month-old Elliaunna Plummer dying on November 26, 2022, by a jury in Lawrence County in February

Judge Plummer ordered Hill to serve decades behind bars for Elliaunna, a girl who suffered severe injuries.

'It was Cheyenne’s responsibility to do that, and she did not. This is very tragic. This was an emotional case and was hard for everyone. To some extent, there is justice for Elliaunna today.'

Shocking detail about Elliaunna's injuries were first revealed in a probable cause affidavit in August 2023.

'Pictures of [the girl] prior to being transported to Indianapolis revealed a swollen and deformed head and bruising on her forehead and the left and right sides of her face,' a detective wrote.

Elliaunna had a swollen head, bruising, and red-brownish marks. Two anonymous tips were left with the Department of Child Services about Hill, indicating child abuse and possible drug use.

The girl’s condition was described as lethargic, half dead, and unable to wake up. The case worker who called the police reported that Hill had been involved in child abuse and possible drug use.

‘The caller stated [the girl’s] mother left for work, leaving [the girl] with the individual she had been living with despite [the girl’s] condition.’

Prosecutors said Hill was selfish and cared more about smoking weed, getting fast food, keeping her boyfriend and living with him than her daughter.

The court heard horrifying comments from Hill about her daughter including an interview with a representative for a donor network.

She said her daughter was ‘not a nice kid’ and believed ‘something wasn’t right with her’ and would be the next Jeffrey Dahmer.

A month before Elliaunna died, she sent her boyfriend Cameron Fleming a message which read: ‘[She] was f****** terrible last night when we came back. I wouldn’t stop crying. I wanted to throw her.’

The following week she told him: ‘Let me get this a****** to bed.’

Investigators asked Hill why she went to work on the same day her daughter was unconscious in hospital.

Prosecutors do not know who caused the injuries which killed Elliaunna but the jury concluded the neglect had the same effect.

‘She did it knowingly,’ Chief Deputy Prosecutor Joshua Scherschel said in his closing argument.

‘We don’t know beyond a reasonable doubt who did the physical act that killed Elli Plummer.

‘Unfortunately we do know her mother had a responsibility to care for that child, but she put her in danger to the point of death.’
