A man who is 36 years old has been charged with the murder of a young mother who was discovered dead in Alabama after she had left rehabilitation.
Michael Wade Tucker, who is 36 years old, was charged with murder in connection with the death of Laci Whitson, who was 21 years old. It has been reported by the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office that Tucker was the last individual who was known to be with Whitson.
During the previous week, Whitson was reported missing after he left a rehabilitation center located in Lauderdale County, Alabama. As a result of her loved ones not receiving any communication from her, they became concerned and raised the alarm.

As of yet, the police have not disclosed the reason for the homicide.
Facebook and other social media platforms were flooded with messages of condolence and support for the young mother.

A message from Hannah Paige on Facebook read, “Laci Whitson, you deserved a lot better than this sweet girl.” The pain in my heart is real, but I know that it is not as bad as the pain that her father and the rest of the family are experiencing! During this time of trying to deal with everything, please continue to keep them in your prayers.
To assist Whitson’s family, an internet fundraising campaign has been initiated. Her funeral is scheduled to take place on Wednesday.
