Three men arrested in connection with human trafficking of a 13-year-old girl

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Three men are in prison for trafficking a 13-year-old girl who ran away from home last year. Now investigators are trying to find a fourth man involved in the incident.

The teenager left her home in Kentucky on Christmas Eve last year… and never returned. Finally, Metro Police found her here in Nashville a month later in the Cayce Homes neighborhood.

MNPD arrested Octavius ​​Stepheny this week and charged him with human trafficking of the teen. Officers also arrested men named Corey Chambers and Kemar Robinson in that case earlier this year.

Wilbert Pollard is still on the run. The police assume that he knows more about the three other suspected participants. He is to be questioned as a witness about the two weeks the girl was in Nashville.

If you know where he might be, call Crime Stoppers.

Remembering Eudora Boxley, a groundbreaking TV chef from the early days of WLAC

I LOVE Forrest's stories about the history of NewsChannel 5 as we celebrate our 70th anniversary. Here's a story I didn't know until recently. Eudora Boxley had a live cooking show in the early days of the station. She may have been the first black person to be on the air at NewsChannel 5 and perhaps one of the first African Americans to have a cooking show on television nationwide. It wasn't until her grandson contacted me that I even heard of Ms. Boxley. Thankfully, I was able to put him in touch with Forest to learn more about this great gem in NewsChannel 5's history.
