Drunk father gets decades in prison after leaving 2-year-old daughter to die inside burning car<\/h2>\n

A father in the United States (US) has been sentenced to more than two decades behind bars after he left his 2-year-old daughter inside his burning car and told first responders that “no one” was in the vehicle.<\/p>\n

According to the arrest affidavit, 34-year-old Nicholas Stemen was driving his 2013 GMC Terrain while heavily intoxicated on 25 Sept 2024.<\/p>\n

His daughter, 2-year-old Lillyanna, was in the car with him.<\/p>\n

Police said Stemen had been driving erratically and was travelling on only three tyres before veering off the road, causing the SUV to burst into flames, reports US media WKRC.<\/p>\n

A passerby called the police around 9.50pm to report the crash.<\/p>\n

When deputies arrived, Stemen was found standing in the roadway while his vehicle was fully engulfed in flames.<\/p>\n

A first responder noted that he smelled strongly of alcohol, was unsteady, and even collapsed onto the ground in front of her.<\/p>\n

Firefighters find body of daughter in burned vehicle<\/h3>\n

After firefighters extinguished the blaze, a battalion chief asked Stemen whether anyone else was in the SUV, and Stemen replied: “No one.”<\/p>\n

But when officers checked the charred vehicle again, they found the body of little Lillyanna still strapped into her forward-facing seat.<\/p>\n
