Tamara Moore was sentenced to 15 to 20.5 years after pleading guilty to involuntary manslaughter and endangering children in the death of her son, 16-year-old Jeremiah Moore.
A police report reviewed by Court TV revealed that officers were called to the Moores’ Springfield Township home on Feb. 6, 2024, for a report of a teenager unconscious and not breathing. When officers arrived, they found Jeremiah dead in the laundry room, lying on a cot.
Investigators told The Enquirer that Jeremiah had been chained to the cot and starved. An autopsy revealed there was no food in the child’s stomach or intestines, which led authorities to believe that he had not eaten for some length of time. Prosecutor Jacqueline Stachowiak described the conditions, saying the room was 56 degrees and Jeremiah was wearing nothing but a T-shirt and an “absolutely disgusting” diaper.
