More arrests were made over the weekend in connection with the investigation into a missing 8-month-old baby from Kentucky.

On Friday, Kentucky State Police announced they had arrested the baby’s parents, Cage Rudd and Tesla Tucker, after a child welfare check failed to locate the baby, Miya (Tucker) Rudd.

Both 30-year-old Cage Rudd and 29-year-old Tucker are accused of first-degree child abuse, abandonment of minors, involvement in organized crime and numerous drug offenses.

The arrests were made in Reynolds Station in Ohio County, south of Owensboro.

Miya Rudd’s grandfather, 56-year-old Ricky Smith, was also arrested on Friday. He is accused of first-degree child abuse, abandonment of minors, involvement in organized crime and numerous drug offenses, according to KSP.

KSP also arrested Miya Rudd’s grandmother, 49-year-old Billie (Rudd) Smith, after conducting a welfare check for Miya Rudd. Billie Smith had an outstanding warrant for second-degree assault – domestic violence in Daviess County since October 2023.

Miya Rudd was not found during the welfare check, KSP said. The arrest warrant had nothing to do with Miya Rudd, according to court documents.

According to KSP, when officers went to Billie Smith’s residence for a welfare check, they saw 37-year-old Timothy Roach throw unprescribed Suboxone under his vehicle. He was charged with second-degree possession of a controlled substance and first-degree possession of a prescription controlled substance in an improper container.

The search for Miya Rudd is still ongoing. Anyone with information on Miya Tucker’s whereabouts is asked to contact KSP Post 16 at (270) 826-3312.
