Maybe it's Maybelline. This is the devastating case of Grayson Lunsford. Andrea Lunsford was born on September 27, 1998. By September of 2024, she was excitedly awaiting her 26th birthday. Now Andrea moved back and forth between Illinois and South Carolina. It appears that in the spring of twenty twenty four she moved to the Myrtle Beach area in South Carolina. Before returning to Illinois months later, where she lived in the Chicago area. Her family, though, was down in Peoria, located in central Illinois, about two and a half hours southwest of Chicago. Now, right off the bat, it's important to discuss that Andrea had a criminal record that spanned across both Illinois and South Carolina. It includes assault, battery, reckless driving, shoplifting, and a DUI.
In Illinois specifically, she was charged with aggravated battery of a peace officer in twenty nineteen in Chilakothe. She was charged with the same offense again in Peoria County in twenty twenty two. And then again in McLean County in 2023. By 2024, she had at least two convictions for aggravated battery to a peace officer on the books. There is also a South Carolina conviction for the malicious mistreatment of animals, which she served 30 days for. Now, Andrea did have an OnlyFans account called Kinky Fade. It's listed on her Facebook page under the work section saying that she's been doing it since December of 2023. Though the OnlyFans page has since been taken down. Also on Facebook, she often posted selfies, outfits, and of course, thirst traps.
She was also relatively open about her struggles with addiction, her recovery, and her newfound path with religion. By March of twenty twenty three, she posted to Facebook to celebrate ninety days of sobriety. In many of the posts that follow, she talks about how she's now working two jobs, going to multiple Narcotics Anonymous meetings per day, and working hard to stay sober. She posts about her struggles as well, though. By may eighteenth, twenty twenty three, she wrote a post saying
What happened to Andrea’s first child and how did DCFS become involved?
So I need prayers for my sobriety. Please, I can't do this by myself anymore. Under that post are multiple comments trying to show their support, telling her that she's not alone and offering to help in any way they can. On August ninth, she posts about having to hit three to four meetings per day. She wrote, It's sad when you have to hit three to four meetings per day. Like seriously, I'm trying hard this time, period. But again, the comments were supportive. They were saying things like, it's not sad that you have to hit that many meetings a day. It just shows how hard you're working. Days later, she wrote about how blessed she feels to be working hard, staying sober, and going to church. She wrote. It feels good to keep my sobriety, work two jobs, and still have time to go to church on Sunday.
I'm truly blessed. By January of 2024, Andrea then announced that she is 10 weeks pregnant. But the post that follows the announcement posted on February first, twenty twenty four. Is a celebration of being one month clean. So of course she's not posting it when she relapses. But the timeline she's giving clearly tells us that she has relapsed but is trying to get clean again now that she's pregnant. From there there are periodic posts where she's documenting her sobriety and pregnancy. By March she announced that she was having a boy. Days later she posted another photo with the caption 20 weeks and I cannot believe God blessed me with a baby boy, got clean, and feeling alive again. Then finally, by August 5th, 2024, Andrea makes the announcement that she has given birth to her healthy baby boy, Grayson.
Now, before we get further into the details about Grayson and what happened to him, I want to pause for a minute to discuss the baby she had years prior.
