CLEVELAND — Update: The missing EMS worker has been found.
A search is underway for a missing EMS worker out of Cleveland's East Side. No one has seen or heard from Lachelle Jordan in at least two days. Police say she is a missing-endangered person.
The 30-year-old was last seen on May 6 around 6 p.m. along Fairport Avenue in Cleveland. Cleveland Police posted Jordan's photo on social media around midnight a day later, asking for the public's help locating her.
News 5's overnight photographer went to Fairport Avenue and spotted dozen of police cars in the neighborhood as well as officers patrolling on foot. Police were also seen searching inside a home with flashlights.
Two days before she disappeared, Cleveland prosecutors charged Michael Stennett, 65, with menacing by stalking and violating a protection order. Monday morning, Stennett appeared in court on felony rape charges in a different case.
Stennett was originally indicted on May 9, 2022, on two counts of rape and one count of abduction in the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas.
On Friday before she went missing, Jordan told News 5 Investigator Sarah Buduson she planned to attend Stennett's pre-trial hearing scheduled for Monday. Instead, she's now been missing for nearly 48 hours.
Buduson has been following this case and has been in contact with Jordan's sister, Rachelle, who reported that she was being harassed and that a bullet was fired through her window over the weekend.
