Killing of Lacey Fletcher

Rare card · No. 19621

On January 3, 2022, 36-year-old Lacey Ellen Fletcher was discovered deceased at her parents' home in Slaughter, Louisiana. Lacey had been subject to extreme neglect; as a result, she was found malnourished, with severe ulcers (among other health problems), and her body was fused to the sofa. Sheila and Clay Fletcher, Lacey's parents, were charged with second degree murder for her death. In February 2024, they were given a plea deal for the lesser charge of manslaughter. On March 20, 2024, they were both sentenced to 40 years in prison, with 20 years suspended, and 5 years of probation after release.
