Stacey Hazelton, 21, Missing Since 2004 in Mississippi, Texas EquuSearch to Aid in Search
Stacey Hazelton, 21, has been missing since May 21, 2004. She was last seen in Alligator, MS. Although several searches have been done since Stacey Hazelton went missing, her body has never been recovered.
A witness testified during the trial that Hazleton’s body was burned and buried in woods near a creek in Duncan, Miss. Despite several police searches, the remains were never found. Burned bone fragments were recovered but a DNA match was impossible. The Hazeltons are desperate for the closure that the discovery of her remains would bring. “We can’t leave her down there,” Mrs. Hazelton said. “That’s like leaving her behind. She needs to be home. I wish there was a different way, but still she needs to be home.” (Lancaster On-Line)
Since Stacey has gone missing, her ex-boyfriend James Arthur Fanning, Jr was found guilty of her murder. However, the fact remains that Stacey Hazelton’s body has never been recovered. Tim Miller and Texas EquuSearch will being going to Mississippi this week to help in the search. Their efforts have been hampered by weather; however, they will be joining the efforts to help being home Stacey Hazelton to her family. See the family sight, www.staceyhazelton.org.
