The Eye Drop Murder of Stacy Hunsucker
Stacey Hunsucker, a loving mother of two, struggled with severe health issues following her daughter’s birth, eventually receiving a pacemaker. Her husband, Joshua, a flight paramedic, appeared devoted but displayed unsettling emotional distance. On September 23, 2018, Stacey was found unresponsive and died unexpectedly. Joshua immediately refused an autopsy, ordered her cremation, and quickly filed life insurance claims totaling $250,000. His rapid shift into luxury purchases and a new relationship triggered suspicion.
Stacey’s mother, Susie Robinson, believed something was wrong. She filed a fraud complaint, prompting investigators to reopen the case. Preserved blood samples revealed dangerously high levels of tetrahydrozoline—the chemical found in eye drops—indicating poisoning. Detectives uncovered Joshua’s financial motives, contradictory statements, and recently purchased eye drops. A search of the home uncovered bottles and receipts that tied him to the substance.
During Joshua’s trial, Susie gave emotional testimony about Stacey’s life and the inconsistencies surrounding her death. A key witness recalled seeing Joshua with eye drops shortly before Stacey died. The evidence persuaded the jury, and Joshua was convicted of second-degree murder.
After the trial, Susie took custody of her granddaughters, ensuring they grew up surrounded by love and memories of their mother. Stacey’s death became a symbol of betrayal, resilience, and a mother’s pursuit of justice for her child.
