The Augusta Fire Department responded to a medical emergency at 7 a.m. Tuesday. When officials arrived at the residence, it was discovered that Lenore was not where she was supposed to be, according to police.

When they spoke by phone, Gissentaner allegedly told police she was at the location of the medical emergency and “is now in the company of Lenore.”
During the alleged incident, Gissentaner was thought to possibly be with her boyfriend, who goes by the name “Dollar,” according to police. Both Gissentaner and her boyfriend are from New York.
