WLFI recently aired some stories about unsolved crimes. After watching the news, the family of Tammy Birdsell contacted me. Two years ago the 43 year old mother of three was found dead outside a house she once shared with Dan Fassnacht near Bringhurst. To this day, her family is still searching for answers. The story is on line under local news.The prosecutor has told me and the family that Birdsell's death is still an active case. Tricia Thompson says she can't talk about the case. No charges have ever been filed. If anyone has information, call the WeTip hotline at 1-800-78-CRIME. Anonymous information can be given at that number.
A fund has been set up at Lafayette Bank and Trust for Birdsell's children. Donations can be made at any branch, made payable to the Tammy Birdsell Memorial Fund. A bank spokesperson said the funds are to be used for the children's clothing and medical expenses.
