On January 4, 2022, 911 reported that 64-year-old Sheila Fletcher and her husband, Clay Fletcher, had found her 36-year-old daughter Lacey Ellen Fletcher dead on their couch. It was revealed that for at least 12 years, Lacey Fletcher had been neglected by her parents after becoming unable to leave her house due to a cognitive health decline. It was discovered that after this decline, Sheila and Clay had left their daughter on their couch to suffer in her own excrement and allowed bugs to eat at her body, failing to attempt to get her medical care. The killing gained significant media coverage due to the gruesome nature of the crime.
Sheila and Clay Fletcher were charged with murder for Lacey's death. In February 2024, they were given a plea deal for the lesser charge of manslaughter. On March 20, 2024, they were sentenced to 20 years in prison.
