In addition, the sister told police that Lachelle Jordan has a court case against a man named Michael Stennett and was scheduled to testify against him.

A family member told CBS affiliate WOIO-TV that Lachelle Jordan was expected to testify in a rape case involving Stennett, 65. He was indicted in 2022 on two counts of rape and one count of abduction, WOIO reported.

According to WOIO, Cleveland Municipal Court records showed that Stennett was arrested recently after a warrant was issued for violation of a protection order while committing multiple felonies, including menacing by stalking.

Cleveland police told WOIO in a statement after Stennet's arrest that there was "not information connecting him to this missing persons case at this time."  

Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Michael C. O'Malley said Monday, "This case was scheduled for a final pretrial today, no trial date has been set," WOIO reported.

Mark Barrett, President of the Cleveland EMS Union, previously said that someone had been stalking and threatening Lachelle Jordan at work, and it got so bad that her supervisor took her out of the field, WOIO reported.
