Desperate family's final heartbreaking plea for Lacey Lake after young woman found dead
Share:
Relatives of a young woman found dead in a caravan after she went missing are desperate to return her "home" so she can be buried alongside her mother. A body was discovered on Tuesday in the search for Lacey Lake, 24, who was last seen in a grey Mercedes before her location services were "suddenly turned off". Police say the death is being treated as "unexplained" but it is not believed to be suspicious.
Emotional tributes have been paid to Lacey, including by relatives who are determined she can be laid to rest with her mother Samantha in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, who died when Lucy was a young child. Lacey lived in Plymouth, Devon, nearly 300 miles from Doncaster, but loved ones say it is crucial she is reunited with Samantha, and have created a GoFundMe page to support their appeal.
"We are putting up this GoFundMe to help my friend Sara and her family to get her niece Lacey back home to Doncaster so she can be laid to rest with her mum who sadly passed away when Lacey was only a very young girl. Her body has sadly been found after being reported missing down Plymouth where she lived," the appeal's organiser, Lisa Gray, wrote.
Lacey was found dead in a caravan in Tamerton Foliot, near Plymouth, on Tuesday. She was last seen getting into the taxi on Friday, according to our sister title Plymouth Live. Lisa added: "She needs to come home back to Doncaster to be laid to rest in the arms of her mum Samantha who sadly died when the children were only very young. The cost alone to get her body back to Doncaster isn’t going to be cheap and also to make arrangements for her funeral.".
