Killing of Lacey Fletcher: She moulded into the sofa.

Lacey Fletcher was autistic and was reportedly bullied in high school. Her parents Sheila and Clay Fletcher later withdrew her from school in favor of homeschooling. Sheila and Clay were known to complain about Lacey, stating that they did not want to be caregivers when they became parents.

When Lacey was 24 years old,a decline in her cognitive health led to her being unable to leave the house.She became confined to the family's leather couch. Instead of seeking medical assistance for Lacey, Sheila and Clay left Lacey on the couch. Sheila and Clay left her on the couch and placed towels next to it, so Lacey's faeces and urine would be easier for them to clean. The rest of their house was well-cleaned, except for the couch, where Lacey remained unable to move from the couch on her own. Over time, Lacey's clothes began to no longer fit her, simply draping off of her body. Clay and Sheila would frequently leave for days on end to go on vacation, leaving her there to starve.

Over time her muscles atrophied, and vermin began to eat at her extremities under the couch leaving mouse droppings and maggots to thrive in the space. There were signs she had been trying to lift herself out of the couch to avoid the pain, but due to severe malnourishment and atrophy in her leg muscles, she was unable to. Her body fused into the leather couch cushions as she was covered in urine and feces, as well as maggots living in her hair and inside her. She suffered starvation and bone infections, leading finally to sepsis which caused her death. She had faeces and couch cushion both under her fingernails and in her stomach contents, showing she had attempted to save herself by eating her surroundings before dying on the couch whilst or shortly after Clay and Sheila vacationed for the holidays. Lacey was found at autopsy to have COVID-19.

On January 3, 2022, Sheila called 911 and stated that she had found Lacey dead on their couch. Emergency services and the coroner arrived at the home and discovered Lacey's dead, partially clothed and malnourished 96-pound (44 kg) body fused into the family's leather couch, with clear signs of neglect. It was determined that Lacey had been dead for one to two days before Sheila had finally decided to call 911. Sheila and Clay lied to police that it had been Lacey's own decision to lie in those conditions for 12 years. Her autopsy ruled her death a homicide. Investigators stated they could not sleep or eat after investigating the killing due to the mental distress that the gruesome nature of the case caused them.

On March 20, 2024, they were sentenced to 20 years in prison, with a consecutive 20-year suspended sentence

I don’t go one day without thinking about this woman and the suffering she endured just to become a sensationalized true crime story for abled people to gawk at. Lacey’s neglect wasn’t manslaughter, it was a purposeful act out of resentment from her parents who were FULLY FINANCIALLY CAPABLE but unwilling to do the bare minimum to protect her. It was a slow and methodically hidden murder that should’ve never been allowed to happen.

This is a frighteningly common occurrence among housebound disabled folks. Lacey could be your neighbor. Her ‘caretakers’ could be your well-adjusted colleagues, your friends, your peers, your teacher. This will never stop until this country starts giving a shit about disabled people instead of cutting funding for every fucking service required for them to survive.

Lacey only committed the crime of ‘being too much work’ for her parents to handle and she was left alone to rot and die because of it. Abled people need to wake the fuck up and realize the kind of suffering they’re enabling before it’s too late.

Check in on your disabled friends and family, help them out with things, don’t make them feel like a burden, be kind and loving and patient and let them know their existence isn’t just an inconvenience to you. Show some humanity for once.

Lacey Fletcher: Left to Rot in Couch

Lacey Ellen Fletcher, 36, suffered from nearly complete paralysis–a condition known as locked-in syndrome. On Jan, 3, 2022, she was found dead on her parents’ couch. Covered in feces and emaciated, her body had reportedly “melted” into the couch.

According to New Orleans metro area outlet NOLA.com, the East Feliciana Parish woman possibly had not been moved from the position in years, 20th Judicial District Attorney Sam D’Aquilla suggested. He said it was completely unknown when she had last been moved.

The DA said the evidence at the Fletcher house suggested the deceased woman had suffered prolong neglect, likely for years, before she died.

Lacey Fletcher’s feet were crossed underneath her on the couch–deep inside the hole that her long-suffering body had worn through both the upholstery and cushion. The hole itself was filled with urine and feces. The victim’s body was covered in ulcers on her underside, D’Aquilla said, and “appeared rotten to the bone.”

Her parents, who are out on bond, are expected to be tried later this year.

The Lacey Fletcher Case has me FUMING at the parents.

Why would you neglect your OWN child like that (especially when she couldn't advocate for herself)!?

Seriously, it's disgusting that these "people" would neglect their poor daughter like that! Her parents even had the gall to call themselves "Christians".

I'm furious that people would do that to ANYONE.

Investigating about Lacey Fletcher's death and seeing how there is not even a clear reason why her family let her rot alive for MORE THAN TEN YEARS, covered in her own body fluids without even cleaning her or bringing any kind of comfort makes me loose my faith in humanity.
