TOWN CREEK, Ala. — A woman who works in Athens was the alleged target of a Town Creek grandmother accused of trying to hire a hitman to kill her.
Alabama court records show Sandra Hill Treadway, 54, of 6337 Alabama 101, is charged with solicitation of murder for trying to hire someone to kill her son’s former girlfriend, Lyndsey Brooke Grindol, 27, of 114 Woodland Hills Drive, Florence. Grindol, an emergency medical technician, works for Athens-Limestone Ambulance Service. Grindol was not working Thursday and could not be reached for comment.
Investigators believe Treadway had objected to Grindol’s attempts to try to gain custody of the 5-year-old child of Grindol and Treadway’s son, Matthew. Grindol had been charged with child abuse in 2013, Lawrence County court records show. The case against her was dropped May 12, 2014, because the charge could not be proved, records show. The charge could be reinstated should evidence surface to support it.
