Lachelle Jordan, a former EMT worker from Cleveland, Ohio, who went missing last Saturday, has been found safe and taken to hospital for treatment. Jordan’s father confirmed on Thursday night that his daughter had been found and was safe. She appeared at a convenience store on Euclid Avenue, around 10 miles from Cleveland. Reportedly, she was barefoot and with torn clothes and asked to call the police. The Cleveland police were working with the US Marshals Service to locate her because her disappearance was suspicious.

Jordan’s twin sister called the police after she went missing on Saturday. She was expected to testify against Michael Stennett, who had been accused of two counts of rape and one count of abduction in 2022. Stennett was arrested on Monday for violating a protection order while committing multiple felonies, including menacing by stalking. However, Jordan’s family members did not believe that Stennett had anything to do with her disappearance, and the police have not provided any evidence linking him to the case.

According to court documents, Stennett had allegedly violated a protection order that Jordan had placed against him, which led her to fear for her safety. She had reportedly spotted Stennett following her or waiting outside her home several times in April. The court documents also showed that Stennett was currently facing rape charges in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court.

A Cleveland EMS Union representative mentioned that Jordan had been stalked and threatened at work to a point where her supervisor had to take her out of the field. Jordan’s two children were with family members while authorities searched for her.

The police have not provided any information on what happened to Jordan while she was missing, or how she managed to get to the convenience store. The investigation is still ongoing, and the authorities are yet to confirm if Stennett was involved in her disappearance.

Jordan’s disappearance and safe recovery remind us of the dangers of stalking and the precautions that should be taken when we feel that our safety is compromised. The public should pay more attention to the signs of stalking and take action as soon as possible to avoid cases like Jordan’s.

Senate Advances Railway Safety Act Despite Opposition

Share post:

The Senate Commerce Committee has advanced the Railway Safety and Disaster Prevention Act, a bill aimed at enhancing railway safety and disaster prevention procedures. This comes as a response to the Norfolk Southern rail derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, this year, which led much of the village to be evacuated when toxic chemicals were released into the environment. No one was injured, but residents have since complained of various ailments after the incident. The proposed bill incorporates several safety measures, including the enhancement of safety procedures for trains carrying hazardous materials, expansion of hazardous materials being transported by trains, mandated creation of disaster plans by railroads, and telling emergency response commissions about hazardous materials. Notably, the bill also establishes requirements for wayside detectors every 15 miles, calls for more “hot-box” detectors, and mandates at least two-member crews to increase safety.
The proposed Railway Safety Act has been endorsed by President Biden and was co-sponsored by both Ohio senators, Democrat Sherrod Brown and Republican J.D. Vance, both of whom support the proposed bill as a response to the train derailment in East Palestine. Since the derailment, Norfolk Southern accepted it would create a fund for residents near the derailment site to cover a decline in home values since the incident. However, Republicans have voiced their opposition to the proposed bill and argue that it would give the Biden administration too much power to restrict rail shipments of fossil fuels, including coal and oil, “that the radical green movement hates.” Their opposition has not stopped the bill from being modified and advancing through the Senate Commerce Committee, with 16 members voting for it and 11 voting against it.
Despite gaining some support from six Republican Senators, the bill is likely to meet opposition from more Republican representatives, including the Committee’s top leader, Ted Cruz of Texas. He asserts that the legislation would raise costs for the rail industry and that this would lead to more freight being transported by the trucking industry, which has a higher rate of accidents involving hazardous materials. While the Railway Safety and Disaster Prevention Act has not yet become law, it marks an essential step in enhancing railway safety and disaster prevention in the United States.
