Donte Taylor Faces Grand Jury Over Body Discovery | Chattanooga News

Donte Taylor, accused of abuse of a corpse and tampering with evidence in the tragic case of missing 22-year-old Elysia Kinsella, is moving forward to a grand jury after waiving his preliminary hearing. Security footage allegedly shows him dragging her body wrapped in blankets from a motel where he stayed — a chilling scene that underscores the gravity of the charges. Though he admitted to leaving her body in the parking lot, Taylor has been released on a $265,000 bond secured by a family member and plans to hire a public defender. Investigators are still determining the cause of death, while Kinsella’s loved ones, who remember her as vibrant and kind, demand justice for her memory. Taylor’s past criminal record, including drug offenses and evading arrest, adds further weight to the case as authorities scrutinize his bond and legal strategy.
