Victim Identified in Flatonia Homicide

Flatonia Police Chief Lee Dick identified the victim of last Monday’s homicide as Elizabeth Massey, 37, of Flatonia. Daniel Lee Willis, 42 of Flatonia, has been charged with Massey’s murder. He remains in jail at the Fayette County Justice Center in La Grange. Lee said officers found Massey deceased at a residence in the 500 block of Hackberry Street last Monday, Aug. 29, after responding to a call for a welfare check.

“The victim had what appeared to be consistent with a gunshot wound to the head, but the matter is under investigation,” Dick said.

“No cause of death or additional details can be released while the matter is still under investigation,” he added.
