Mum vanishes suddenly - then son tells school counsellor 'daddy killed mummy'

mirror.co.uk:

In New Albany, Indiana, there was a missing mum, and police were desperately trying to reunite her with her three children. Rebecca Hoover’s own mother hadn’t seen her in a few days and was growing increasingly concerned.

It was August 2020, and Rebecca, 38, was a devoted parent. It was extremely unlikely that she had left her children but life had been tough on her recently - perhaps she felt she had no choice but to flee from her volatile husband.

Rebecca’s marriage to husband Judson Hoover had reached a crisis point. Four months earlier, on 17 April, Rebecca’s eight-year-old son had run to a neighbour for help after Judson attacked her.
