What the Forensics

Ep. 96 - A Story of Neglect & Injustice: Lacey Fletcher


Listen Later

In this deeply disturbing and emotional episode, we examine the heartbreaking case of Lacey Fletcher, a Louisiana woman whose death in 2022 exposed unimaginable neglect at the hands of those who should have cared for her most—her parents.

Confined to a couch for years and suffering from severe physical and emotional abuse through neglect, Lacey’s story shocked the world and raised urgent questions about mental health care, caregiver responsibility, and legal accountability. We explore the forensic evidence, the medical findings, and the legal proceedings that followed her tragic death.


Join us as we shed light on this devastating case and discuss how it could have been prevented—and what justice truly looks like for Lacey Fletcher.
