What we know so far about the death of 6-year-old Gracelyn Vick
Six-year-old Gracelyn Vick disappeared on Sunday afternoon in Saucier, Mississippi, after going outside to play but never returning. Her family reported her missing, prompting an intense search by the Harrison County Sheriff’s Office, local law enforcement, and volunteers. Tragically, her body was found later that day near her home.
No arrests have been made, and the investigation is ongoing. Authorities have not yet determined if foul play was involved. An autopsy is scheduled to determine the cause of death.
This loss is especially heartbreaking for Gracelyn’s mother, Vicky Lynn Hutcherson, as this is the third child she has lost. Gracelyn’s 13-year-old stepsister died in a car crash in 2024, and her 18-year-old brother passed away in 2021. The community has rallied around the grieving family, offering support during this difficult time.
