Jordan told police last Thursday that Stennett, 65, “was watching her from his vehicle” as she left the same Fairport Avenue home that morning.

Jordan also told police she was being stalked last month by a female friend of Stennett’s, who reportedly followed her on the freeway as she was leaving work and tried to run her off the road.

She told police she thought the woman was trying to ensure she didn’t testify in Stennett’s rape case.

In addition to sitting outside her home in his car, Stennett would allegedly follow Jordan in his personal vehicle while she was working as an EMT responding to 911 calls.

According to her sister, a window in the home was shot through at about 6 a.m. Saturday.

"Somebody knows what happened," said Joe Jordan, father of Lachelle, during the press conference at the Cleveland Division of Police's Fifth District. "I need that somebody, whoever you are, wherever you are, to reach out to law enforcement."

"We want her home and we want her well," Joe Jordan added, fighting back tears. "I don't think that's too much to ask."

Are the searches including volunteers from the public yet?

Investigators say Jordan is considered an endangered person because of her key role in a rape case. On Monday, she was scheduled to appear at the defendant’s final pre-trial hearing.

After learning that Jordan disappeared, police arrested the suspect in the rape case, 65-year-old Michael Stennett. So far, Stennett is facing charges for violating a protection order and menacing by stalking.
‘I’m very scared’: All-out search continues for ‘endangered’ CLE woman who disappeared

I read the article about him recently being placed on administrative leave from his city job after the unnamed rape victim went to the press to question why he was still working. This unnamed victim left her position not long after the rape in 2021 because she couldn't face having to see him everyday in the workplace they shared.

I don't think Jordan treated the victim or became a key witness due to her job as an EMS. I suspect Jordan's role in the rape case was indeed - KEY if you follow my meaning. I hope this young lady is simply in hiding but suspect what has happened is much darker than that

I don't follow your meaning.

I'm actually heartbroken over this case. I keep coming back to see if there are any updates. I pray she is hiding, her father's pleas are so heartbreaking (SM), I can't even imagine. Please Lord bring Ms. Lachelle home safe.

 

[Ladyotm]

Like so many of you, I'm angered that nothing was done to protect Lachelle, and yet another person who should have been locked up was freely walking the streets. IMO, MS is highly connected with his 30* years as a coach.

I want to have hope in the face of what seems a likely outcome. With his previous charges, disregard for the law, stalking, and possible being behind a shooting at her home, I don't think this will end well. I believe electronic records and his acquaintances talking, will lead to her being found.

Wow! Great news! And I must admit to being quite (pleasantly, obviously) surprised.

 

[Soulmagent]

Yes, I've been hoping she is in hiding, but her close family members are worried so maybe not.

I skipped right to hoping she WAS in witness protection due to all the issues . Praying for her. I also hope she was not the victim in the case as well as a victim of the case.

SO GLAD SHE IS SAFE!

Taken to the hospital for treatment - hope she’s ok. It almost sounds like she was dropped off on Euclid Ave. or something similar.

A worker at a convenience store on East 166th and Euclid said an injured woman came into the store, and surveillance video from the store shows a woman who is having some difficulty walking go into the store. Her clothes are torn. The worker says she asked for a phone and called the police.

EMS says this was the location from which they transported Jordan in stable condition.

I just watched the convenience store video from another source (Fox 8 local news). Didn't have the volume up, as not to wake the household, but the clip was longer than the video posted above.

She was very much looking all around while in the store, as if to make sure no one was coming after her. Eventually an employee handed her a cell phone and she sat on the ground and talked on the phone, and someone brought her a bottle of water. IMO looks like she ran for her life!

I kind of hate that they released this video. This woman has been victimized over and over again. We don't need video of victims in pain, we need video of suspects IMO.

"We're all just happy," her father Joseph Jordan told ABC affiliate WEWS. He said that Jordan "looked to be okay, alert."

In a surveillance video obtained by WEWS, Jordan can be seen walking into a convenience store barefoot with torn clothes. The convenience store, Open Pantry, is roughly three miles from where Jordan was last seen.

Jahid Islam, who was working in the store at the time, told ABC News that Jordan entered the store at roughly 10:50 p.m. and asked for a phone to call the police. Islam described that Jordan appeared “very weak”

“She asked me to give the phone, then she called the police first,” Islam said.

Thank god she was found alive. What a nice surprise I was expecting the opposite. I hope she gets all the help she needs and that the courts give her the support she needs to be done with that stalker jmoo
