Florida Woman Charged With Murder After 72-Year-Old Roommate Found Dead, Wrapped in Tarp

A 61-year-old Florida woman has been arrested after her 72-year-old roommate was found dead and wrapped in a tarp at their Inverness home.

Tracy Lee Stanley has been charged with second degree murder and is being held without bond, the Citrus County Sheriff’s Office said.

Deputies were called to the home Saturday night after a 911 call indicated that a person was dead. When they arrived , they found Andrea Kathleen Day dead in the tarp.

“My sincerest condolences go out to the family of Andrea Day as they begin the long process of healing,” said Sheriff Mike Prendergast. “This was a senseless act of violence. Thank you to our deputies and detectives, who worked swiftly and diligently to take this suspect into custody.”

Prendergast said the investigation was ongoing and declined to release further information.
