Three weeks after the death of an 11-year-old Spring Valley girl, there are still very few answers from county officials about what killed her or who, if anyone, is responsible.
Aarabella’s biological mother and a neighbor both told NBC 7 Investigates that Brian McCormack and his wife, Leticia, adopted Aarabella and her two younger sisters. They also say Aarabella’s adoptive father was a U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent. The agency wouldn’t confirm that, only replying, “...
that a Border Patrol Agent from San Diego Sector died by suicide. No further information is available at this time.” The adoptive mother, Leticia McCormack, has been an important figure in San Diego’s Rock Church for several years, serving as the ministry leadership program coordinator. She was also an ordained elder. However, a media spokeswoman for the church says it has put her ordained status on hold. She says that’s why the leadership page on the church website was taken down right after Aarabella's death and restored two weeks later with Leticia's bio removed.
Two neighbors who spoke with NBC 7 Investigates didn’t know about Aarabella’s death, only Brian’s. That includes Jenn Kuroski who’s lived next door to the McCormacks for four years. She says the family kept to themselves and she didn’t even know they had any children because they were never outside the house.
“The only time I saw children there was when we first moved in four-and-a-half years ago,” Kuroski said. “There were two little girls sitting on the stoop waiting outside. I assumed they were friends of visitors to the house, not that they live there because I have never seen children playing, coming and going to school. I've never heard children.”NBC 7 Investigates repeatedly reached out to San Diego County Health & Human Services, which operates its Child Welfare Services division.
