There were many adults that knew what was going on that could have come forward and saved these kids, but nobody was willing to speak up. Because of their inaction, it led to an eight-month old baby girl being stuffed away in a bag and left to rot like a pile of garbage. This is one of the most shocking, missing person's cases in Kentucky state history. Maya Rudd was born in the early morning hours of October 12th, 2023 in Owensboro, Kentucky. She was the fourth and youngest child born to Tesla Tucker in Cage Rudd.

Starting point is 00:03:20 Her oldest sibling was about six years older, but the other two were barely toddlers when Maya was born. Maia's family called her smile due to her toothless baby smile, which was a common sight in the Tucker Rudd home. Her siblings were enamored with their new baby sister. Maya was especially close with her brother who was a little over a year older than she was. He always knew how to make her laugh. By the time she was eight months old, she was close to crawling and sitting up on her own. She had tufts of brown hair and green eyes. Maya was described as an ambitious and willing mind, tiny toes and a smile that was contagious,

Starting point is 00:04:00 a beacon of hope, a bundle of sunshine from the very start. But while all seem perfect from the outside, there are plenty of signs from the very start that Maya was an immediate danger. Tesla Tucker and Cage Rudd were married in January of 2015. Their first child, a girl, was born in the summer of 2017. They had a boy in 2021 and a girl in 2022, and finally Maya in 2023. Now, the couple were not well-liked in their community. They lived in Reynolds Station, an unincorporated area in Kentucky, about 25 miles from Owensboro.

Starting point is 00:04:37 Along with their general bad attitudes, it said that Tesla and Cage were known for their reckless driving around the community. One resident claims they stole parts from his friend's car. The extended Tucker Rudd family were all known to the just. the system. Maya's father Cage and grandfather Ricky Smith were both felons. Cage was previously charged for possessing and promoting illegal substances and he pled guilty in March of 2024. Instead of serving time in custody, he was under supervised diversion for one year. Ricky also had previous drug offenses and was charged for violating his parole conditions. For other grandfather, David Tucker, had court fines that went unpaid. Maya's maternal grandmother, Talifa Tucker, had theft and check

Starting point is 00:05:20 fraud charges filed against her in Indiana. She evaded these charges by not showing up to her court dates. She was also charged for failure to maintain liability insurance in 2003, which she only served five days of a 180-day sentence. In October of 2023, Maya's paternal grandmother, Billy Smith, was involved in a DV incident with another man, notably not her husband, Ricky Smith. This man claimed to be her intimate partner for about eight months. They were outside his home when he claims Billy wanted money in the keys to his truck, which he refused to give her. He claims Billy hit and kicked his head and body and eventually knocked him unconscious. He was hospitalized for his wounds and the next day, someone reported a woman asleep in a car to the police. When they arrived

Starting point is 00:06:10 to check on her, they realized it was Billy. She admitted to getting into the altercation but claimed it was self-defense on her part. She said the man had attempted to beat her with a wooden baseball bat. Billy wasn't detained on the spot, but she would eventually have an arrest warrant for second-degree assault filed against her. Neither parent nor any of her grandparents made any progress towards a better path. They evaded consequences instead of facing them. At any point, these people could have been taken into custody,

Starting point is 00:06:42 leaving the young children in the hands of more dangerous family members, or even the foster care system. Not everyone in the Tucker Rudd-Smith extended family was involved in illegal activities, but it seemed Tesla and Cage didn't see their clean record relatives as proper caretakers. Maya's three siblings were each taken from their parents' home at separate times due to their living conditions.

Starting point is 00:07:06 They were placed in their maternal grandparents' custody, but Maya remained with... Hank joined BJ's wholesale club the day he became a father of 30. My coach football.

The process to remove her began soon after she was born,

Starting point is 00:07:44 but it wasn't swift enough. Social services had Maya on the radar early on when her umbilical cord tested positive for Crystal. It was then that they began the process of removing her from her parents' custody. They tried the traditional ways, but they were ignored. Every time social services tried to contact Tesla and Cage,

Starting point is 00:08:03 their calls were unanswered. Visiting their Reynolds station home was just as unuseful. They tried reaching out to the extended family, but they either could not or would not help them. The Cabinet of Health and Family Services, or CHFS, had the power to reach out to the Kentucky State Police. There was enough reason to believe Maya was in immediate danger, and having police resources on their side could have definitely helped sped up the process. The police would later say that the CHFS never asked for their aid in finding Maya. When asked directly what their search efforts looked like, they said they could not answer because of the ongoing investigation.

Starting point is 00:08:40 A friend of Tesla in Cage, Brody Payne, moved on to the property around December of 2023. He lived in a trailer with the VIN number removed. Ricky Smith was also living with him. But this wasn't your normal couch surfing situation. For months, Tesla and Cage were dealing illegal drugs from their home in Reynolds Station with Ricky and Brody's help. They did this with Maya in plain view. Brody had some criminal charges in Indiana. most notably for possession of 28 or more grams of crystal in December of 2016.

Starting point is 00:09:17 A court order stated that under no circumstances could the Tucker Rudd children visit their parents' house. However, the court order was violated enough times for illegal substances to eventually show up in the older children's hair. In the late spring and midsummer of 2024, the Kentucky state police were investigating drug traffickers in every county of the state. They called this Operation Summer Heat, which received wide press coverage by Kentucky-based news. Louisiana and Alaska, inspired by Kentucky, had their own Operation Summer Heats in the following months. By July, they made over 200 arrests and just under 500 criminal charges. The monetary value of the seized contraband told

Starting point is 00:09:59 the $684,953.50, along with additional cash, weapons, and other contraband also taken in evidence. The operation was partially credited to the decrease in violent crimes and fatal ODs in the state of Kentucky by the end of 2024. Tesla, Cage, Ricky, and Brody were not as slick as they thought they were. They handled their operation recklessly, having their goods mailed to them through the United States Postal Service. It was only a matter of time before they would be caught, but unfortunately, as you soon will see, it was not the drug trafficking that made them infamous in the state of Kentucky. Fairly early into their operation, a detection dog with the Davis County Sheriff's

Starting point is 00:10:41 Office took interest in a package that was set for delivery. Officers noted the recipient, Brody Payne, and tested the package for illegal substances. Inside was a half pound of crystal. Someone was mailing illegal drugs through the postal service straight into Brody's lap, and law enforcement were going to find out why. Their investigation into him lasted for months and eventually led them straight to his residence and his accomplices.

Starting point is 00:11:12 Officers pulled into the Reynolds Station home driveway and delivered the package. When Brody came outside to pick it up, he was arrested on the spot. He already had a warrant out for his arrest for failing to make child support payments, but that was nothing compared to the drug charges. Brody could not play dumb

Starting point is 00:11:30 because there was a second package meant for him that the police seized. It had counterfeit drugs containing fentanyl and a powder cutting agent. One package looks bad, but two looks worse. He was booked into the Davis County Detention Center on May 20th and charged with first-degree crystal trafficking, aggravated fentanyl trafficking, and purchase and possession of drug paraphernalia. His cash bond was set at $35,000.

Starting point is 00:11:57 Maya was last seen by her extended family in April of 2024. In early June, Tesla's sister Alexis heard from grandmother Talifa that CPS had taken Maya away. Talitha believed this, or at least she pretended to. Alexis, however, was not convinced and contacted law enforcement for a wellness check for her eight-month-old niece. But per usual, the parents weren't home and nobody could get in contact with them. Investigators spoke to Talitha. She told them her daughter said that.

Starting point is 00:12:27 Maya was taken away by CPS on May 1st. Detectives followed this lead, but there were no records from CPS back in the story. Brody was arrested in connection to a drug operation in the Reynolds station home and for nothing involving Maya's disappearance. But it didn't take long for police to put together that Brody was maintaining his illegal drug operation in the home of a missing infant. They thought that maybe there was a connection, and they were right. On June 6, Tesla, Cage, and Ricky were found in a Super 8 motel with what law enforcement described as a multitude of really heavy street drugs.

Starting point is 00:13:05 The room was in Cage's name. When investigators opened the door, Tesla was sitting on the bed with suspected fentanyl lace pills within reach and in plain view. She also had crystal stowed away in her purse. Ricky was on the couch next to a glass pipe and had crystal in his pockets. All three of them were arrested and upon being questioned, they said they didn't know where Maya was. The trio were charged with child abandonment along with drug possession. They were taken into custody at the Davis County Detention Center and held on $20,000 cash bonds. This is the same jail that Brody was in.

Starting point is 00:13:46 During the booking process, Cage had weed confiscated from him. He claimed he had forgotten that he had it on him. The next day, the third. he had additional charges filed against them involving organized crime, CA, and drug trafficking. Ricky was also charged with owning firearms as a felon and named as a persistent felony offender. On June 9th, detectives visited Billy Smith in search of Maya. The baby wasn't with her grandmother, but Billy was brought into custody anyway due to the outstanding arrest warrants against her from October of 2023.

Starting point is 00:14:21 If that wasn't bad enough, another man was arrested the moment I'm not. officers pulled onto the property. This man, Timothy Roach, was arrested for trying to hide a prescription-only substance under a car. He had a long history of drug offenses prior to this arrest on the 9th. Both he and Billy were booked into the Ohio County Detention Center. The next day, Tesla, Cage, and Ricky had their arraignment hearing for the drug charges against them, overseen by Judge Misty Miller of the 6th Judicial District. Later, Tesla and Cage were arraigned for Maya's abandonment and other drug charges by Judge Gregory Vincent of the 30th judicial district. Ricky and Timothy were also arraigned before Judge Vincent the very same day.

Starting point is 00:15:07 Since Maya was a vulnerable, helpless baby less than one year old, locating her was obviously top priority. They scoured the wooded area surrounding her parents' house in the nearby cemetery. They pulled out all the stops, even bringing out cadaver dogs and publishing a tip line. neighbors and members of the community joined the search efforts. They didn't care much for Tesla and Cage, and most people didn't even know they had a fourth infant child, but they were willing to put their dislike on hold while the baby girl was missing.

Starting point is 00:15:35 On June 12th, law enforcement returned to the home. Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile, with a message for everyone paying big wireless way too much.

Once again, Maya was not there, but the couple was arrested for their unrelated outstanding warrants. As we mentioned earlier, Talifa had theft and fraud charges against her in the state of Indiana and David had unpaid court fines. They were held in the Davis County Detention Center.

Starting point is 00:16:27 Police also took their electronics into evidence. Mya's sisters and brother were promptly whisked away to safety. Following day, Brody Payne had more charges filed against him. In addition to the possession of illegal substances, he was charged with trafficking them, participating in organized crime and wanton endangerment. Neither Tesla nor Cage cooperated with detectives. They insisted Maya was taken away by child services. They sent officers on a fool's errand despite knowing exactly what happened to their baby. The grandparents didn't help either and the extended family were completely in the dark. This period of uncertainty frightened the community.

Starting point is 00:17:08 They thought they lived in a safe place with kind neighbors, so Maya's disappearance shook them to their core. There was no evidence of Maya being alive or dead if it was the latter. law enforcement suspected she would be in the wooded area behind her parents' home or in a nearby cemetery on a hill. They failed to find anything with the cadaver dogs alone, so they made plans to return with more specialized equipment. The Ohio County Coroner's Office also joined in the efforts. Ori King, the public affairs officer for the Kentucky State Police, made it clear that the coroner's office's involvement didn't necessarily mean that Maya was dead. However, he didn't mince words with the

Starting point is 00:17:50 press, he said. We're very hopeful and optimistic that we would find her alive. Maybe perhaps a family member has her, but the longer this goes on, the more grim it seems. He also said this case was an example of how illicit street drugs can destroy lives and cause the erosion of our community. Officer King also criticized the family for their uncooperative behavior throughout the investigation, saying it's completely sad that you have a family that goes this deep in the family tree that's not willing to cooperate with the baby's investigation. It's saddening. And I can't say that. I've quite seen it like this before. At 1.15 p.m. on June 14th, one week after she went missing, Maya was found. She hadn't gone far. In fact, she was still in her home. Law enforcement found a

Starting point is 00:18:41 black Adidas duffel bag in the entry room of the house. There was some debris over the bag, indicating an attempt to hide it. Officers opened the bag and everyone's worst fears came true. Maya was already decomposing. She was so unrecognizable that no one could even tell if it was her. A transport vehicle brought her

Starting point is 00:19:05 to the Louville Regional Office of the Medical Examiner for further investigation. You didn't need to be an expert detective to see that the Reynolds Station House was not suitable for a child. much less an infant. The residence was filthy and dangerous with illegal substances, paraphernalia, and weapons found by investigators. One officer found a bag tainted with crystal only inches away from Maya's crib. Initial searches left the property largely undisturbed, but there were so many

Starting point is 00:19:35 illegal drugs and residue inside the house that the police were worried their officers would OD just from staying inside the house for too long. Viscators had to take several precautions before searching the interior. This included sterilizing the house before performing the search. It took multiple search warrants and visits from the police to get the house safe enough for a thorough investigation. It's not reported how or if this affected the crime scene, but it demonstrates how bad the environment was. If the police were worried for the health and safety of their trained officers, imagine what that house could do to an eight-month-old infant girl. In total, eight people were arrested during the search for Maya. Her parents, Tesla and Cage, maternal grandparents

Starting point is 00:20:18 Talifa and David, paternal grandparents Ricky and Billy, along with Brody Payne and Timothy Roach. After the remains were confirmed to belong to Maya, four of those eight arrested were charged for her mistreatment and abandonment. Tesla Tucker, Cage Rudd, Ricky Smith, and Brody Payne.

Maya's cause of death is still undetermined even after all the time that has passed. Her body was too decomposed for medical professionals to come to an accurate. conclusion. Despite this, the coroner's office labeled her death a homicide. The state coroner's office said in their report, based on information provided to me and post-mortem examination findings, the cause of death in this eight-month-old female, Maya Rudd, is undetermined. The advanced state

Starting point is 00:21:35 of decomposition precluded an optimum examination. Given the scene, circumstances, and autopsy findings, the manner of death is best classified as homicide. More detailed results wouldn't come until months later. It would eventually be made public that Maya had crystal in her system even after her death. To be precise, 23.3 nanograms per milliliter. Maya's Ana Lexus organized a go-fund me to help pay for Maya's funeral, which was held on July 25th. There were speeches, live music, prayers, and a sermon. The service is archived on the Glenn Funeral Homes website. Tesla, Cage, Ricky, and Brody were all initially charged for drug possession, drug trafficking, and firearm possession. After Maya was found on June 14th, the four were also charged for her death.

Starting point is 00:22:29 These were not murder charges, at least not yet. The charges ranged from failure to report a child's death, mishandling her corpse, endangerment, and criminal CA. During the June 17th preliminary hearing, Tesla cried in the courtroom as the charges were read and cried even more as the hearing went on. In total, Tesla was found guilty for 10 charges, while the three men were found guilty of 13 charges each. Their three extra charges were for firearm possession despite being convicted felons. In November, the state of Kentucky filed more charges against Talitha, controlled substance endangerment to a child, criminal abuse, and hindering prosecution. Tolifa allowed the children to stay with their dangerous parents in an unsafe environment, as noted earlier. She also gave Tesla and Cage money she had previously stolen for safekeeping to limit her chances of being arrested for theft.

Starting point is 00:23:21 This possibly circles back to the theft and fraud she committed in Indiana. While the coroner's office labeled Maya's case a homicide, the trial was not a homicide case. It took some time, roughly six months for the DNA evidence collected at the scene to be thoroughly. tested. Finally, in January of 2025, investigators were confident enough in their findings to increase the charges against the four convicted adults. The Kentucky State Police presented a new case in an Ohio County courtroom. The result was the addition of murder charges to the four convicted parties, in addition to charges they already were found guilty for. The police successfully argued the four adults knowingly put Maya in a dangerous situation, if not

Starting point is 00:24:08 directly harming her. In addition, the four were accused of criminal mistreatment of Maya's three older siblings. Following the presentation, a superseding indictment was filed against the four adults. This means that the charges against them were amended based on the new evidence presented in court. The superseding indictment listed extra charges for each of the four convicted adults, one count of murder for Maya, and one count of criminal abuse of a child 12 and under for Maya in each of her three siblings. In addition, Ricky was charged with persistent felony offender. Tesla, Ricky, and Brody pled not guilty to the new charges of murder and endangerment on February 4th, 2025.

Starting point is 00:24:52 Tesla's attorney filed a motion to examine and test any evidence seized by law enforcement. Cage was meant to appear alongside them, but his arraignment was pushed to March 4th. He, Tesla, and Ricky will appear again in court in April, and Brody Payne. in May. They are each held on separate $250,000 cash bonds. Now, we should also note here, since they haven't fully gone to trial, all parties are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. During and after Maya's case, some alarming actions were taken in Kentucky's cabinet for health and family services. Today, the Kentucky Auditor's Office houses the Kentucky Commonwealth Office of Ombudsman. Before this, it was under CHFS control.

Starting point is 00:25:38 In cases where child protection investigation proves inadequate, it's the ombudsman's job to investigate the how and the why. According to Allison Ball, the public auditor, the ombudsman relies heavily on a database called eyewist to perform these investigations. The ombudsman had full access to eyewist previously while it was under CHFS authority, but when it transitioned to the public auditor's office, the cabinet refused to give them this access. This was in July of 2024.

Starting point is 00:26:06 A month after Maya's name was published on every major news outlet in the state. The auditor's office and the office of the ombudsman filed a lawsuit against the cabinet for this. It was worth the effort in the end. In September 2024, the ombudsman regained access to the eyewist database and could resume their usual duties. More recently, a bill advanced that would protect the ombudsman's access to iTwist. During this dispute between CHFS in the auditor's office, a more helpful and hopeful piece of legislation was in the works. The same day Maya was found, a Kentucky man named Eric Williams created a petition on change.org.

Starting point is 00:26:48 Eric Williams has no relation to Maya, but he was so upset, frustrated, and heartbroken by her story that he wanted to see some changes come from it. Eric proposed the creation of a new law called Maya's law. If a parent or parents lose custody of children and haven't regained that custody, they would not be allowed to keep a newborn in their care. The petition received over 2,000 signatures within the first five days alone, and is currently at just under 8,600. Eric told news station WPSD Local 6 News. I can't go buy a car if I didn't pay for my last car, can I?

Starting point is 00:27:27 Right. I can't go adopt a dog if I was found. of animal boobs, but how come I can leave with a brand new baby when I lost my previous ones? Eric made it clear he didn't want to separate families, but to protect vulnerable children like Maya and her siblings. The people's call for action did not go unheard. Kentucky state representative Myron Dossett sponsored baby Maya's law officially called House Bill 574. It was approved by the House Standing Committee on February 20th, 2025, and will be brought before the main floor for further approval. Currently, the wording of the bill states, if anyone knows of a child born to a parent or

Starting point is 00:28:06 parents who have, A, lost custody of other children and haven't regained that custody, or B, have ongoing cases of mistreatment of children against them, they must report those parents to the authorities. In 2023, before Maya's passing, discussions for a similar bill began, but ultimately never came to fruition. One of the parties involved was Heather Gray, executive director of the Joy Closet, a nonprofit organization that aids Kentucky's foster children. Representative Dossett was also part of the discussions for this earlier bill, so Heather was easily able to reach out to him about Baby Maya's law. While it is sad, it took the death of an eight-month old little girl for such measures to be taken at all.

Starting point is 00:28:48 Heather and the others at the Joy Closet are grateful to see change being made. Representative Dossett said about the bill, When a child is born to parents who already have their children in someone else's custody due to Nicolette, or abuse, the state should intervene and ensure that the child is safe and cared for. I believe in second chances, but there is no second chance for a child who passes away due to abuse or neglect. We have to put children's safety first and ensure that the parents are proactively changing their lives to the better before any child, especially a newborn, is returned to their custody. The three older children are now in the care of their

Starting point is 00:29:25 on Alexis and her boyfriend, John. In an interview with WPSD Local 6 News, Alexis recalled the day she learned that Maya was found. And they told me they found her. You know, I was like, okay, is she okay? You know, and it was not okay. She wasn't okay. And I lost a little piece of me that day.

Starting point is 00:29:53 They intend to raise Maya's siblings in their home with their own children. Alexis and John shared the following with reporters. They deserve way better than they have been given. And I want to give them the best life that they deserve. Alexis and John elected to take on her sister's three kids, Maya's siblings, to raise along with their own. The goal to hopefully make them a permanent fixture. We may not be their actual parents,

Starting point is 00:30:19 but we will fill that void. You know, we're going to love them like we're their actual parents. We're going to make sure that, you know, They are taking care of. They get the best education possible. You know, they get to do whatever they want to do, and they can just enjoy their life as kids. They don't deserve this.

Starting point is 00:30:38 Nobody does. My family don't. They don't. Like, it's hard. But I'm going to make sure that they have the best life possible. Hey, sweetie, your mother showed me this Carvana thing for selling the car. I'm going to give it a try.
