Suspected pedo dies in jail after arrest for ‘killing girl, 9, with chloroform while trying to rape her’
A SUSPECTED pedo died in jail days after he was arrested for allegedly killing a nine-year-old girl with chloroform while trying to rape her.
Jeffrey Beagley, 34, was found unresponsive in his jail cell on Monday before dying in hospital - days after he was booked on charges relating to the child's death.
Beagley told police he was going to use the chloroform for hemp production, the affidavit stated.
It was later found that Beagley was not in the "Hemp Industry" as he had claimed.
The home was dirty with old food on the stove and writing on the walls in crayon.
Overlooking the bed where the girl is believed to have died was a large Easter bunny type mask that had been "decorated" to look like the ears had large bloody wounds.
CHILD ABUSE IMAGES
During their search, cops allegedly uncovered 1,110 pictures and 73 videos of child abuse.
Some of these reportedly depicted the victim, who was apparently recorded with a hidden camera.
Detectives allegedly found horrific "digitally altered" images where Beagley's face had been edited into the shot.
One of these disturbing images reportedly showed an adult man raping a child.
A coroner’s office report that found the child died of “chloroform poisoning."
Beagley was facing a slew of charges before his death and due in court on Dec. 31.
These included child abuse resulting in death, reckless manslaughter, attempted sex assault on a child, sexual exploitation of a child and invasion of privacy for sexual gratification.
The investigation into his death is ongoing.
