Jennifer Hatfield-Streeval.A homicide detective testified Tuesday there is no evidence that a man who was beaten, left naked in front of a local motel and later died had molested one of the defendant’s daughters.
But a witness who told the girl’s mother about the alleged molestation before the beating testified in the same hearing that the girl said she’d been touched “between her legs.”
Chattanooga police Detective Lucas Fuller testified that he interviewed the father of defendant Jennifer Hatfield-Streeval, 32, and the woman’s daughter and neither said the child had been molested by Garner Lee Isbill.
Isbill, 76, died two months after a March 18 beating that police say Hatfield and 28-year-old John Moncier administered at the Lee Highway Motel 6. Both Hatfield-Streeval and Moncier face criminal homicide charges in connection with Isbill’s death.
On Tuesday, Hamilton County General Sessions Judge Christie Mahn Sell sent their charges to the grand jury for possible indictment.
