The Disturbing Crime Scene Of Stacey Stantons Murder

 A Shocking Discovery

Stacey Stanton’s quiet life in Manteo took a dark turn when she didn’t show up for work at The Duchess of Dare. Concerned co-workers, led by Tina, found a chilling crime scene at Stanton’s apartment on Ananias Dare Street, just blocks away. The investigation that followed unveiled disturbing details about the 28-year-old’s brutal murder.

 Grisly Crime Scene Unveiled

Stanton’s lifeless body was discovered on her living room floor, revealing a gruesome aftermath. Investigators determined that she had been stabbed multiple times in a savage attack. Clumps of hair clutched in Stanton’s hands hinted at a fierce struggle with her assailant. The autopsy later confirmed at least 14 stab wounds on her neck, stomach, and chest.

Disturbing Autopsy Findings

Post-mortem mutilation added a horrifying layer to Stanton’s tragedy. The autopsy, conducted by Dr. L.S. Harris, revealed deep wounds to her neck as the cause of death. The examination also showed knife wounds in sensitive areas, leading investigators to initially suspect a sexual assault, though later disproven.

 The Hunt for the Killer

Despite ample evidence, including fingerprints, hair, and a peculiar newspaper, finding Stanton’s killer proved elusive. The investigation should have led to a swift arrest, but fate had other plans for this perplexing case that shook the community.

Friend Turns Suspect

Close friend Clifton Eugene Spencer became the prime suspect in Stanton’s murder. Last seen with her at a local bar, Spencer’s timeline of events on the fateful night raised suspicions. After admitting to being in Stanton’s apartment, Spencer faced accusations, failed a polygraph test, and was charged with first-degree murder.

 A Controversial Plea

Spencer’s plea of no contest stirred controversy. Despite fingerprints tying him to the crime scene, doubts emerged. The hair found in Stanton’s hands didn’t match Spencer’s, and he had no blood on his clothing. The alleged failed polygraph test lacked a record, raising questions about the validity of the case against him.
