CHAMBERSBURG, Pa. — After turning herself in to Waynesboro Police last week, Lashada Lee appeared in Franklin County Court for a preliminary hearing Tuesday, but the hearing was continued so that she could secure counsel, court records show.
Lee, whom police say disappeared with her two daughters in March 2020 after their father was awarded immediate custody, is charged with two counts of interfering with custody of children.
The new date for her preliminary hearing was set for May 9, according to court records.
As of last week, the girls' father, John Rex, was making his way back to central Pennsylvania to be reunited with his daughters, according to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
Rex told reporters he was able to see his girls, but they are currently still being held by Child Protective Services.
