Overview

  • Brookelynn Fancher’s death was ruled suffocation after she was discovered unresponsive in a towel-sealed dresser drawer at a Days Inn on May 26, 2024.
  • Court records indicate the couple, who lived in the motel room with their infant daughter and 18-month-old son, repeatedly confined her in the drawer to muffle her cries.
  • A motel housekeeper uncovered evidence of the practice, confronted Destiny Campos and reported the incident to hotel management.
  • Jeremy Fancher and Destiny Campos were charged with murder more than a year after the infant’s death and remain jailed on bonds of $850,000 and $300,000, with Campos now seven months pregnant.
  • The Harris County Sheriff’s Office led the year-long investigation with support from multiple agencies, leading to arrests in Harris and Tom Green counties earlier this week.
