Rebecca had last been seen on August 2nd and Judson filed for divorce a day later. Officials maintain that she was already dead at the time.
The incident came to light after the couple’s eight-year-old son told a school counselor that he’d witnessed his father kill his mother.
According to reports, Judson entered a guilty plea to stop the boy from having to testify in court.
New Albany Police Chief Told Bailey stated that the case began when Rebecca’s mom reported her missing on August 4. When officers went to her home on St. Joseph Road, they found no sign of Rebecca.
Bailey stated: “Fast-forwarding to Aug. 27, our criminal investigators were alerted that Ms. Hoover’s disappearance may very well have been criminal in nature. Based on that information, our criminal investigators took everything into high gear and spent countless hours uncovering the facts of this case.”
According to reports, a forensic interview was conducted with an unnamed family member, and search warrants executed at the couple’s home.
