FORMER model Traci Vaillancourt was once a drop-dead-gorgeous girl with a promising future. But her life spiraled out of control after a rare blood disorder robbed her of her looks – and now she’s awaiting trial in a coldblooded cop-killing case.
After struggling for years with addiction, homelessness and the heartbreaking transformation of her appearance, the 34-year-old hit rock bottom over Labor Day weekend when her drug-crazed boyfriend allegedly killed a police officer before turning the gun on himself and Traci.
“It’s a tragedy,” said Traci’s sister, Vicki King. “We tried and tried to help her – but you can’t help someone who won’t help themselves.”
The heartbreaking story unfolded after Traci and her boyfriend, Timothy Walker, 35, were stranded on the side of the road in Draper, Utah, near Salt Lake City.
