RICHARD PRESTAGE SPEAKS OUT ON HANNAH TRAXLER CASE 1/20/2023
Michelle Bell, upset over her daughter not getting the medication she needed, stated that Richard Prestage went to the doctors office and got Hanna's children's medical records from when Jason Guy burned the baby with hot water (this is when Hannah left him) and told them he was an investigator. "He is not an investigator, he is a constable. How is this not a violation of HIPPA?," she asked.
"I was called to the clinic that the child was taken to and was just the first to arrive, but my partner handled the case, and he only took a report."
Richard further states, "We found out it happened in Scott County, and we have nothing to do with what happens in the county."
"You also must have a court ordered subpoena to get medical records, I could not just go and pick them up. My partner turned it over to Scott County because it did not happen in Morton."
"I have been in Law Enforcement for 24-25 years, a constable for 6 terms and an ambulance driver/EMT for 12 years. Our only involvement in this case was taking the original report."
