Gail Palmgren. Contributed PhotoAttorneys for the husband of a missing Signal Mountain woman are asking that a chancellor hear a case involving the custody of the couple’s two children today rather than on July 11.
Diane Nichols and Kevin Nowacki, siblings of 44-year-old Gail Palmgren, filed documents in Hamilton County Chancery Court asking that a legal guardian be appointed for the two children belonging to Matthew and Gail Palmgren.
Bryan Hoss, a defense attorney who represents Palmgren, would not state why they want the date moved to today.
“I’m not going into the reasons,” he said.
A chancellor must review whether the hearing date will be changed, and it was unclear Tuesday night if that would actually happen today.
