Lacy Ellen Fletcher was a beautiful girl who's life was cut tragically short by the two people who were supposed to love her the most: her parents. Lacey was severely autistic and presumably suffered from locked-in syndrome. On January 3, 2022, law enforcement responded to a 911 call by Lacey's mother who claimed that her daughter had stopped breathing. No one could prepare anyone for what they discovered inside the Fletcher residence.
Trigger warnings for discussions of severe abuse and neglect at the hands of parents, discussions of crime scene photos, discussions of death due to chronic malnutrition, starvation, immobility, acute ulcer formation, and sepsis. Listener discretion is strongly advised for this one.
