California couple arrested for Beatty murder

/

The following is a press release from the Oregon State Police.

On December 16, 2021, arrests were made in the 2018 murder of Jack Hasbrouck.

On March 21, 2018, Jack Hasbrouck’s body was discovered in a wooded area north of Beatty, OR, in Klamath County.  It was apparent Mr. Hasbrouck had died as the result of homicidal violence.  The Klamath County Major Crime Team was activated to investigate the murder of Mr. Hasbrouck.

Investigators followed up on multiple leads until they developed suspects in the murder of Mr. Hasbrouck.  In late November of 2021, a Klamath County Grand Jury indicted Jeremy Milton Lacy (43) and Eileen Gay Lacy (51), a married couple, for the murder of Mr. Hasbrouck. 

The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office assisted the Klamath County Major Crime Team with determining Jeremy and Eileen Lacy were living near Willow Creek, CA, in Humboldt County.

On December 16, 2021, a California Highway Patrol officer located Jeremy Lacy driving on Highway 299, east of Eureka.  Jeremy Lacy was taken into custody without incident. Eileen Lacy was located a short time later and taken into custody without incident.  The Lacy’s were transported to the Humboldt County Jail where they were lodged on the warrants.

The Klamath County Major Crime Team consists of the Oregon State Police, the Klamath County Sheriff’s Office, the Klamath Falls City Police Department, Klamath County Community Corrections, and the Klamath County District Attorney’s Office.

The Klamath County Major Crime Team would like to express their gratitude to the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office and the California Highway Patrol for their assistance in this long and difficult investigation.
