Tracie Miles Biography & Facts
Jenna Stephens, also known as Jenna Stephens Goldsworthy or Tia Carter but better known by her original name of Tracie Marguerite Andrews (originally registered as Tracey Marguerite Andrews) (born 9 April 1969), is an English murderer who killed her fiancé, Lee Raymond Dean Harvey (born 20 September 1971), on 1 December 1996. She was sentenced to life imprisonment after being found guilty of murder at her trial in July 1997 and served fourteen years in prison. Background Tracie Andrews was the middle child of three siblings and has several half-siblings. Her parents had a volatile relationship and they separated when Andrews was six years old; their separation had a lasting effect on Andrews. In 1990 Andrews gave birth to a baby daughter, but separated from her partner a year later. Andrews had aspirations of becoming a model, but originally began working as a barmaid.Multiple partners recalled Andrews as being possessive, not liking them having a social life without her presence. Andrews was also prone to explosive displays of anger. In October 1994 she began a relationship with a local man named Lee Harvey, moving in with him three months after they met. Their off-again-on-again relationship was marked by volatility, with both being possessive and jealous of each other's relations with other men and women. The couple frequently argued, which sometimes escalated into violence and led to the police being summoned.Friends and family members of both Andrews and Harvey were uneasy about their dysfunctional relationship. Harvey had confided in both his friends and his own mother regarding Andrews' emotional problems. Police were called to the house in late October 1996, just over a month before Harvey was murdered. After discovering that Andrews had bitten Harvey on the neck on one occasion, Harvey's mother told him that they should separate for the sake of his daughter. Other family members of Harvey warned against him pursuing a relationship with Andrews, and Andrews' mother also told her daughter not to continue their flawed relationship. Murder On Sunday 1 December 1996, after another day of fierce arguments, Andrews and Harvey went to a local pub for the evening in an attempt to reconcile. Andrews claimed that on the way back to their flat in The Becks, Alvechurch, Worcestershire, late that evening the pair became involved in a road rage incident with two men. She claimed a car had followed her and Harvey and that two men from the car had confronted and attacked them after stopping them on a country lane. In reality, Andrews had stabbed Harvey over 42 times with a pen knife after they had stopped in his car following an argument. Harvey's sister later said she knew from the time she was told about the murder that Andrews had killed him.At a press conference on 3 December 1996, Andrews elaborated on the supposed attack, saying that a "fat man with staring eyes" had stabbed Harvey after getting out of a Ford Sierra in which he was a passenger. Over the next two weeks, police carried out investigations to track down Harvey's murderer. The couple's car had stopped near a cottage, and the commotion had alerted a male resident living metres away, who discovered Harvey stabbed on the road and a bruised and bloodied Andrews standing by him. He immediately ran back to his house to call the emergency services. Police noted that Harvey's car had apparently not stopped on the road in any hurry, but had been neatly parked on the side of the road. Harvey had been stabbed in the back, throat and chest 42 times, with a fatal wound through an artery in the neck. Police investigation Although Andrews claimed that she and Harvey had been attacked in a road rage incident, in her press conference of 3 December she said that the driver of the attacker's car was not to blame and appealed for him to come forward, something which the police questioned as the driver had supposedly facilitated the attack on Harvey. Andrews seemed to contradict her original statement, giving different times to her original story, and police had to step in and stop her while she told her story to the press. Police also noted that Andrews had a lot to say for a person who was supposedly in shock.After the press conference, police began to question Andrews' story. A witness statement from a child in an adjacent cottage said she could clearly hear an argument between a man and a woman after the car had parked up on the night. Police did not find any evidence that a second car had overtaken Harvey's car to stop it before the attack, noting that there were no tyre marks on the grass verges next to the narrow single-lane country road that would be expected if such an event had taken place. In Harvey's hand were found more than 80 strands of Andrews' hair, which pathologists determined would have had to have been taken from her head with considerable force, i.e. through a physical struggle. Most notably, two witnesses came forward after Andrews' press conference to say that they had seen Harvey's white Ford Escort car driving past them on the lane Harvey was murdered on, that night, but that no car was following it and that no other cars had been seen by them on that lane that evening. This disproved Andrews' story that she and Harvey had been attacked in a road rage incident after being followed by a car whilst driving home.Having invented her story of how Harvey was murdered, Andrews had then gone on to hold Harvey's mother's hand and the hand of his sister while she recounted the fabricated story in the national press conference of 3 December. Attempted suicide and arrest With suspicion mounting on Andrews, she attempted suicide on the day after the press conference by taking an overdose of pills. Andrews' suicide attempt and the confirmation that no road rage incident could have occurred convinced police of the need to arrest her. She was still in hospital two days later when police first arrested her and questioned her about the murder. After being discharged from hospital, she was charged with the murder of Lee Harvey on 19 December 1996 and released on bail. Further evidence Police then discovered a pen knife-shaped blood stain and impression in Andrews' boot, convincing police that she had carried the murder weapon in her boot after the murder and had disposed of it at hospital. It was known that there had been a pen knife in Harvey's car on the night of the murder. Andrews had spent long periods of time in the toilet at the hospital for unknown reasons, apparently to dispose of the murder weapon. After examining her heavily blood-stained jumper, the police also determined that the blood had been sprayed onto her after she had stabbed through Harvey's carotid artery, explaining the distinctive blood stain pattern. Trial Andrews appeared at Birmingham Crown Court charged with murder on 1 July 1997, and was found guilty on 29 July 1997. The prosecution had been able to skilfully deconstruct her story so as to.... Discover the Tracie Miles popular books. Find the top 100 most popular Tracie Miles books.
