Lacie Borchert
MARQUETTE Friends and relatives of Lacie Borchert, the 25-year-old Ishpeming woman found deceased in a lake next to Excelsior Street in Ishpeming on Friday, Nov. 27, are still searching for answers.
While the Ishpeming Police Department has completed its investigation and ruled out foul play, those close to Borchert remain skeptical about the situation.
A series of demonstrations were organized and held Monday and Tuesday, with friends and relatives appearing at various locations around Marquette County to raise awareness on the case, including one outside of the Marquette County Courthouse.
“We are here (today) in a protest to fight for justice for Lacie,” said Maria Dahl, a close friend of Borchert’s. “We are here to find answers, to find facts and bring awareness.”
