Hard to believe that is the same woman right! Well it happens to be that hazel eyes and brown hair Traci Lee Vaillancourt used to have homecoming queen looks during her younger years while in high school, but somehow her bright future turned very dark.
Now due to a rare blood disorder she is not only unrecognizable but also is serious problems with the law. Traci Lee who now weights 211 Lb’s and height is just a little over 5 ft. was arrested in Salt Lake, Utah and is to be questioned by detectives after her boyfriend allegedly shot dead a police officer then tried to kill her and himself.
The former model who is now 34-years-old was hooked on painkillers after getting a rare blood disease then throw in the mix a deadbeat boyfriend by the name of Timothy ‘Troy’ Walker and bad things are bound to happen.
That is a picture Traci’s older sister, Victoria King shares to the media saying how her sister was once “drop-dead gorgeous” and how her modeling career came crashing down after facing the symptoms of her blood disorder. The girl went through hell, her sister elaborates
“She would cry, ‘I never pictured my life turning out like this,’”
Her sister explains, Traci’s body would swell randomly, and she suffered a series of strokes. According to King her sister led a low life with Walker moving around from hotel to hotel and when short of money would camp out in the couple’s Volvo. So the couple practically were bad news to happen and it did. Traci was allegedly shot in the back by her boyfriend Timothy ‘Troy’ Walker while sitting in their Volvo in Draper, Utah, just moments after he shot dead Sgt Derek Johnson. Walker then turned the weapon on himself and has been hospitalized alongside his long-term partner since.
Traci has been previously arrested for theft charges, but police believe she is the victim in this tragic scene after becoming a drug-addled homeless woman reliant on her violent boyfriend.
Vaillancourt was diagnosed with a rare blood disorder called Hereditary Angioedema which made her face, throat and limbs swell and ultimately had four strokes before the age of 30! Traci and partner in crime have daughter together who lives in full custody of her paternal grandmother.
She is said to be recovering at a Salt Lake City-area hospital.
