NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Three men are in jail in connection with the trafficking of a 13-year-old girl who had run away from home last year. Now, investigators want to find a fourth man involved.
The teen left her Kentucky home on Christmas Eve last year... and never returned. Eventually Metro Police found her here in Nashville a month later in the Cayce Homes neighborhood.
MNPD arrested Octavius Stepheny this week and charged him in connection to trafficking the teen. Officers also arrested men named Corey Chambers and Kemar Robinson in the case earlier this year.
Still on the run is Wilbert Pollard, who police believe knows more about the three others allegedly involved. They say he's wanted for questioning as a witness for the two week period when the girl was in Nashville.
If you know where he may be, call Crime Stoppers.
I LOVE Forrest's stories on the history of NewsChannel 5 as we celebrate our 70th anniversary. Here's a story I wasn't familiar with until recently. Eudora Boxley had a live cooking show in the early days of the station. She may have been the first black on air at NewsChannel 5 and perhaps, one of the first African Americans to have a TV cooking show anywhere in the country. It wasn't until her grandson reached out to me that I even heard of Ms. Boxley. Thankfully, I was able to connect him with Forest to learn more about this great nugget in NewsChannel 5 history.
