'Mean Girl Murders: Battle of the Besties,' an Investigation Discovery show, tells the story of the brutal murder of a 17-year-old high school teen, Stacy DeGrandchamp, in Fort Wayne, Indiana, in August 2002. The investigators had to wait nearly two decades before the perpetrator admitted to the crime and was sentenced for homicide. If you want to know what happened next, including the killer's identity and current whereabouts, we've got you covered. Here is Holly Boisvert updated information.
Stacy's beauty and fashion sense came with a downside as she was often judged and criticized by others. Her friend, Rachel Freeman, believed that other girls were envious of her beauty and judged her harshly. The show also revealed that Wayne High School, like many American high schools, had a social hierarchy, and Stacy belonged to the upper echelon of popular girls.
Whitney and others recounted on the show about prior friction between Holly and Stacy ever since middle school. According to the episode, Holly made fun of how Stacy dabbled her feet in the pool and made a splash around, leading to Stacy getting all worked up and storming her way out of the house. The friction seemed to wane over the years, and their mutual friends stated they mostly had a cordial relationship, though they mostly avoided each other.
However, when Brandon started dating Stacy, the issues between the two high school teens began to resurface. According to Whitney, Holly used to date Brandon before the latter got into a relationship with Stacy. Jamie explained Holly had thought Brandon would return to her and was irked when Stacy started dating him instead. According to the show, she bore a great hostility toward Stacy, and the latter was not ready to back down either.
When the detectives asked how Stacy got stabbed, Holly told them she might have “probably landed on something when she got knocked into a recycle bin.” News reports claimed a witness informed the police in January 2003 about how Holly changed into sweats and pulled her hair into a ponytail before confronting Stacy. The witness also claimed Holly had confessed to him about carrying a knife to the fight. He also alleged Holly washed her hands after the stabbing, and he saw her put the knife in a car parked outside the house.
Elten Powers, the erstwhile assistant principal at Wayne High School, also contended, “It was common knowledge around school that Holly had killed Stacey, but there was no arrest, and Holly was not charged.” The case went cold for 17 years before the police reviewed the evidence, conducted forensic tests, and interviewed multiple witnesses in several states leading to Holly’s arrest in 2019.
