Mother seeks answers after police say woman’s body was staged in tree
Christy Spivey says she is shocked and left with more questions after police concluded that her daughter, Tasia Fortune, may have been placed in a tree after her death. Fortune had been found hanging in the tree, but police now believe the scene may have been staged.
Spivey told the BBC that the development had deepened her uncertainty rather than provided reassurance. The police assessment changes the understanding of the circumstances surrounding Fortune’s death and raises questions about what happened before her body was discovered.
The available information does not detail when Fortune died, how police reached their conclusion, or whether anyone has been arrested or charged. It also does not provide further information about the location or the wider investigation.
What is known is that Tasia Fortune was found hanging in a tree and that police now think her body was put there after her death. Her mother, Christy Spivey, says the conclusion has left her shocked and seeking answers.
