Details on Stacy DeGrandchamp’s killer

Another day, another convicted felon making headlines.

It’s no secret that the realm of true crime has expanded over time. In recent years, docuseries, podcasts, and films in the genre have continued to spark conversations on social media and served as inspiration for popular op-eds.

Recently the series Investigation Discovery Common girl murders is the talk of true crime lovers thanks to its recent premiere episode titled Battle of the Besties, which investigates the brutal murder of 17-year-old Stacy DeGrandchamp in 2002.

Ultimately, investigators were able to track down Stacy’s killer. Holly Boisvert, behind bars. But social media users are wondering where the convicted killer is now.

Here are the facts.

Justice has been served. Accordingly Dwindling, Boisvert pleaded guilty in December 2021 to first degree manslaughter for the stabbing death of Stacy DeGrandchamp in August 2002. Boisvert was 17 when she committed the murder.

Boisvert was initially charged with murder but settled a plea deal that offered a 25-year sentence “with five years probation and three years adult probation,” the outlet reported. On January 14, 2022, a judge handed down a 20-year sentence.

Per the Indiana Correctional ServicesBoisvert’s earliest release date is May 25, 2030, which we can assume is due to parole and good behavior.

The murder was considered a cold case until Fort Wayne homicide detective Brian Martin reopened it in 2019 after the family revealed new evidence.

First, court documents obtained by the outlet revealed that Boisvert told police she was not the attacker and was sitting on a porch when Stacy arrived at a party. Per Boisvert, Stacy yelled, “What is she doing here?” as Boisvert started walking out the back door.

She went on to say that she overheard Stacy talking about one of her friends and that was what sparked her.

The ladies then exchanged views with Stacy, who allegedly pushed them into recycling bins, according to Boisvert. Then things went to the left and they started fighting.

Boisvert told detectives that she did not have a knife, even though Stacy had stab wounds on her body. She told authorities that Stacy “probably landed on something when she was pushed into a recycling bin” when discussing the stab wounds.

Over the years, witnesses have come forward sharing tidbits of the incident and suggesting that Boisvert may have been plotting her attack on Stacy. However, the police did not have enough evidence at the time to charge Boisvert.

When a detective visited Boisvert in 2019, she appeared distraught, saying, “I think I killed my best friend and that’s why you’re here to be alive.” She had also previously handed over a knife to police, who found it with the matched the knife used to murder Stacy.

It is disturbing to learn that Stacy and Boisvert’s problems are related to boy problems. It was said in the episode that Stacy has started dating a senior named Brandon Muff.

Interestingly, Brandon and Boisvert dated once before he and Stacy became a couple. And while Boisvert thought they were reconciling, Brandon started a new relationship with Stacy that was rubbing her the wrong way.

Remember, friends from both parties revealed the two ladies had friction in middle school. However, they apparently decided to get over their issues and just stay cordial with each other since they had mutual friends.

Unfortunately, Brandon reportedly became the catalyst for her beef reemergence.

We would like to express our deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of Stacy DeGrandchamp.
