Girl Orphaned In Highway Crash Awarded Childless Tennessee Pair
Staunton court awarded custody of Carmella Falco, nine, orphaned in a July highway crash that killed six relatives, to Wallace and Mrs. Grills of Kingsport Tennessee. The decision follows her Oct custody hearing in which she requested to live with the Grills, her mother’s sister family. The ruling allows a 60 day appeal window to Frank Falco of Queens Village, New York. Carmella, hospitalized six weeks for injuries, said she loves both families but wants to stay in Tennessee to avoid painful memories of New York.
