haven't found anything new or recent but did locate a pdf of the incident report from when this case was initiated.

NOTHING NEW, just keeping little Treasure's thread bumped
"Since the defendant has been in custody, he has attempted to contact the biological mother 46 times," Deputy District Attorney McAuley said. "After the 4-year-old child was deceased but before he was arrested on the charges that he is before the court today, he also attempted to take out a warrant on the biological mother."
[snip]
McWeay is accused of traveling to Maryland in early July and snatching the children back, stealing their mother’s car in the process.
He allegedly returned the children to the same lower-level unit of a duplex on Renfrew Court, near Adamsville, that DFCS had just removed them from 11 days earlier. DFCS called the unit "deplorable," noting the children "appeared extremely hungry." There was no air on, the children were soiled, and one of the boys "could barely talk and sounded raspy as if he was dehydrated," a DFCS narrative says.
Bond denied for father who allegedly wouldn't open door for DFCS while daughter starved
After one request for a welfare check, police didn’t go to the duplex at all, according to court testimony from a homicide detective. The second time, records show, an officer wasn’t dispatched until an hour and a half after a 911 call. The final time – less than a month before Treasure’s death – it took police almost five hours to arrive at the house.

ROBERT MCWEAY CASE: It took 11 minutes for a judge to deny bond for the father accused of kidnapping and murdering a 4-year-old child. What a FOX 5 I-Team investigation found.

If you search the Fulton inmate roster, you can see RM's charges. Looks like he had a few more added in May for rioting in jail, possession of a weapon, and assault.

Yeah, I know. It was the only kind of update/different info I could find.
I think by warrant they mean a protective/restraining order, or sometimes people say a "warrant" is taken out for a person's arrest, as in the "father" could've tried some BS on the mom, like saying she perpetrated the abuse or hurt the children in some way...this would be reported to police and a "warrant for her arrest" might be issued.

Fulton jail records: Father charged with starving daughter stabbed in botched robbery
Another violent incident inside the Fulton County jail: Rodney McWeay, charged with starving his daughter, Treasure McWeay, to death, suffered stab wounds after allegedly trying to rob another inmate. The other man fought back, incident reports say, and McWeay now faces additional felony charges.
"A father charged with starving his daughter to death suffered stab wounds inside the Fulton County jail, after allegedly trying to rob another inmate who fought back, according to sheriff’s office records.
Rodney McWeay, 32, already faced 16 felony charges and four misdemeanors in the killing of 4-year-old Treasure McWeay and alleged abuse of her brothers and other family members, including murder, cruelty to children, kidnapping, aggravated assault and family violence."
I didn't see any court dates listed in the article, fyi.

Thank you - have updated my notes on this charge.
Still trying to find a Fulton County court site that is not blocked... having no luck....
I even tried looking up the Judge (Kevin Farmer) calendar - but they do not seem to have one.
I am pretty sure he MUST have had a hearing since his last one on 1/23/24.

In Virginia, a person can go to a magistrate and swear a warrant out against another person. The magistrate issues it based on whatever they’re told. It’s the dumbest thing ever and I’ve dealt with it on more than one occasion. Pretty much anyone can get you arrested for anything and you’re treated like a criminal until your court date. IME
