Search For Missing Mom Ends After 8-Year-Old Son Makes Admission To School Counselor
According to reports, Judson entered a guilty plea to stop the boy from having to testify in court.

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.
Rebecca’s body was recovered and Judson taken into custody the same day on suspicion of murder.
Charges were then formally filed and he pleaded guilty on the same day.
