Babysitter and Boyfriend Sentenced for Brutal Murder of Toddler


A young girl, Fallon Fridley, was brutally murdered at the hands of her babysitter, Kirstie Flood, in 2020. 

This week, Flood and her boyfriend, Jeffrey Meyers, were sentenced for their roles in the crime.

Fallon's mother, Kristin Fridley, entrusted her daughter to Flood, a friend she considered close. 

However, that trust was shattered on December 9th, 2020, when Flood beat Fallon to death. 

The two-year-old succumbed to "massive trauma" inflicted by her caretaker.

Disturbing details emerged during the sentencing hearing. 

Flood's internet searches on the day of the crime revealed a twisted state of mind.  

Searches like "What type of people enjoy abusing other people's children" painted a chilling picture of her intentions. 

Her boyfriend Meyers was present during the abuse and did nothing to intervene.

Flood initially attempted to cover her tracks by claiming Fallon had injured herself on playground equipment. 

However, an autopsy revealed the severity of the abuse, exposing Flood's lie.

Fallon's obituary and a GoFundMe campaign paint a portrait of a precious life lost too soon. 

Her friends and family expressed the unimaginable grief and loss they endured.

Flood received a life sentence for first-degree murder, while Meyers was sentenced to 15 years for second-degree murder. 

While the sentences offer some closure, they cannot bring Fallon back.
