JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. — Louisville Metro Police arrested a woman in connection to a fatal hit-and-run that killed a toddler in mid-June.
According to police, the child's grandmother, 51-year-old Lisa G. (Gail/Gayle) Tesch was identified as the suspect.
Police said Tesch had outstanding warrants from Kentucky and fresh charges out of Jeffersonville, Indiana in connection to the fatal hit-and-run at Motel 6 on Hospitality Way.
There, first responders found 18-month-old Eleanor Campbell. She was immediately transported to Norton Children's Hospital but later died at the hospital due to her injuries.
Tesch was identified through multiple sources and security camera footage as the driver of a white Chevrolet Trailblazer that struck the young child and left the scene.
Since then, LMPD said detectives from both sides of the river have worked tirelessly to bring Tesch to justice.
Police said information developed that led detectives to the 200 block of Glendora Avenue where they found Tesch and one of her family members, 34-year-old Joshua David, and arrested them without incident.
Both are in currently custody on unrelated outstanding warrants.
This is still considered an active and ongoing investigation. No other information is available at this time.
