The parents of an autistic woman who was found dead ‘fused’ to a
sofa with her own excrement has been charged with second-degree
murder.
The grand jury selected in Clinton, Louisiana, on Monday
indicted Clay Fletcher, 65, and Sheila Fletcher, 64, over the
death of their daughter Lacey Ellen Fletcher, 36.
If convicted, the couple would face life sentences in prison,
according to WAFB.
Coroner Dr Ewell Dewitt Bickham III found that Lacey died at her
parents’ home in Slaughter on January 3.
The grand jury’s decision came as East Feliciana Sheriff Jeffery
Travis told the Daily Mail that ‘intervention should have
happened a long time before this tragedy’.
‘You can’t just let someone rot away,’ Travis said at his
courthouse office near Clinton.
‘It is difficult to imagine how someone could get in that
condition without family or friends stepping in. Believe me,
there would have been help available.’
Lacey suffered from locked-in syndrome, a rare neurological
condition that prevented her from moving her muscles. She was
found sitting upright, partially naked and submerged in a hole
in the 1960s-style couch with feces, urine and insects around
her.
Graphic images showed Lacey with bed sores down to the bone, on
the furniture that she may have been stuck to for a dozen years.
Travis said that ‘the parents could have contacted authorities
and had Lacey committed where she could have been assisted’.
The 12-person jury also considered charges of manslaughter and
negligent homicide.
Neighbors of the father and mother said they were not aware that
the couple had a daughter.
The Fletchers were reportedly respected and seen as pillars of
the community. They initially were not arrested because they
were not considered at risk of fleeing.
They did not appear in court on Monday and have not been seen
since news of their daughter’s death broke last week.
Medics were on hand in the courtroom on Monday due to the
distressing nature of the images and details presented to the
jurors.
Their trial date has not been set yet.
