5 people arrested, including grandparents, in disappearance of Kentucky 8-month-old
Five people, including the baby's grandparents, have been arrested in connection with the disappearance of 8-month-old Miya Tucker Rudd, who is still missing.
Kentucky State Police sent out a notice about a missing baby, Miya Tucker Rudd, on Thursday, June 6.
She was last suspected to be in the care of her parents, Cage Rudd, 30, and Tesla Tucker, 29.
While conducting a search/welfare check of the house, police said they could not find Miya.
Both of her parents were arrested with multiple charges, and over the weekend, KSP sent out another notice that additional charges had been filed.
Both were already facing charges of possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and abandonment of a minor. Now, they are facing more drug charges, including trafficking, engaging in organized crime and possession of paraphernalia. They are also facing child abuse charges.
Later, police said they arrested Miya's grandfather, Ricky Smith, 56, and her grandmother, Billie Rudd Smith, 49.
Ricky Smith is facing drug trafficking and child abuse charges, as well as having weapons as a convicted felon. Billie Rudd Smith was arrested on an active domestic violence warrant.
KSP said while entering Billie Smith's driveway, they found a man, 37-year-old Timothy Roach, throwing unprescribed Suboxone under his car.
He was arrested and charged with possession of a controlled substance and prescription controlled substance not in proper container, police said.
Roach is from Owensboro, and it is not immediately clear what Roach's connection is to the family.
Billie Smith and Roach were both taken to the Ohio County Detention Center, according to KSP. Billie Smith is held on a $25,000 cash bond.
Tesla Tucker, Cage Rudd and Ricky Smith are set to appear in court on Monday.
Police are still searching for Miya. She is described as having brown hair and green eyes.
The release did not specify why this doesn't meet the requirements for an Amber Alert.
