April Dawn Lacy (nicknamed as "Brush Girl") was a previously unidentified American homicide victim who was discovered in 1996 in Decatur, Texas.

[3] The family reportedly lived in cheap hotels and rummaged through garbage for aluminum cans and other items to provide money for food and drugs.

It is also believed that her mother, Jacqueline, had coerced April into prostitution and shoplifting to provide for her cocaine addiction, although she claims her daughter was not involved with sex trafficking.

[2] April ran away from home after an argument with her mother, who refused to converse with her daughter about an unknown reason, presumably due to conflict between her parents.

[4] Some members of the police force have stated that her mother may be more knowledgeable about the murder than she has provided, as there is strong evidence that Jacqueline had served as a pimp for her daughter.

[2] Investigators noted that the victim had dyed her hair blond, bit her nails, and was between 5′4″ and 5′5″ tall (~164 cm) at a weight of 110 to 130 pounds (~54 kg).
