A Chancery Court judge will rule in a case Friday where the husband of a missing woman is seeking temporary custody of their two children and exclusive use of their Signal Mountain home, according to court documents.
In the meantime, friends and relatives of 44-year-old Gail Nowacki Palmgren continue to plaster the area with missing-person fliers in hopes of learning her whereabouts.
Her husband, Matthew Palmgren, 40, filed the paperwork May 6 in court. He reported his wife missing to police on May 2 after he was urged by her family, according to Signal Mountain Police Department reports.
No one has heard from or seen Gail Palmgren since April 30.
Matthew Palmgren told police his wife left their children, ages 9 and 12, alone at their home at 40 Ridge-rock Drive on that date. Her Jeep also is missing.
