Accused mom Sheila Fletcher walked resolutely out of jail on a $300,000 bond late Tuesday night - a little over 24 hours after she was arrested for the 'murder' of her autistic daughter, who was found fused to a sofa in her own excrement.
Sheila and husband Clay Fletcher, both 64, were charged with second-degree murder Monday and now face life in prison without parole if convicted over 36-year-old Lacey Ellen Fletcher's secret horrific ordeal that lasted at least 12 years.
Pictured leaving East Feliciana Parish Jail in exclusive DailyMail.com photos after her release, Sheila looked straight ahead and refused to answer questions we posed as she headed off with a hastily arranged bail bondsman.
Clay, meanwhile, was forced to spend another night behind bars in Clinton, Louisiana after his bond money could not be arranged in time - but was released 12 hours later Wednesday morning, DailyMail.com can reveal.
The bespectacled mom shed her orange prison jump suit and emerged at 10.30pm local time wearing a blue top with white spots and blue pants. Her short blond hair appeared in disarray.
She refused to say if she felt any remorse over Lacey, who died covered in feces and sunk in a hole in a sofa worn by her emaciated body at her parents' otherwise tidy home in the small town of Slaughter.

how long does it take to get “legal guardianship”? These people had years to do this. The woman didn’t start her sit in protest just before she died, she was doing it for years. They had time years ago to appeal to the courts for it.
This is why I look forward to robot helpers or overlords. When I get that obese they can bring me food. But they can also lift me off the toilet so I don't fuse to it.
Geaux Robots!!!
36 year old woman..their daughter.
No, not years, certainly. You do have to make the effort to do it, and you need a lawyer. It would cost some money, and the daughter’s disability check would go to the nursing home. While the amount of that check might not seem to be that much to me, it might seem a lot to them.
I suspect that whatever their reasons were, they won’t make a lot of sense to most of us.
If they put her in a nursing home they wouldn’t get the government checks but the nursing home would.
Pure greed and hatred.
If they could prove her mental condition was before she was 18 and it was debilitating, courts may assume guardianship.
They wanted her sei checks and not caring for her welfare.
SSI also pays for caregivers so the parents
could have been receiving supplemental
income. It’s sad to me that the need/greed
of money overrides common human decency.
Even with ones’ own daughter.
