This is so strange. I wonder if they will have to change the judge (Calvin Holden) now. His own son went missing the early morning of New Years Eve. Judge was on vacation in Australia, but rushed back to go to California to search for his son.

Ruud’s trial expected to be rescheduled
January 23, 2020
The scheduled Jan. 27 murder trial for Theodosia-area resident Rebecca Ruud will likely be rescheduled, due to an unexpected complication – the disappearance of the son of Circuit Judge Calvin Holden, who is assigned to the case.
The expected cancellation and resetting of Ruud’s trial will be the fifth time it has been rescheduled since it was filed in Taney County Court on a change of venue motion in October 2017.
Alex Holden, Judge Holden’s son, reportedly went missing from his Sacramento, California, home on New Year’s Eve.
[.....]
Ruud was scheduled to appear for a pre-trial conference before Holden on Jan. 13, but the hearing was continued due to the judge’s absence.
[.....]
Peat is scheduled for a pre-trial conference on Feb. 7 in Greene County. A trial date has not yet been set in his case. Holden is also assigned to Peat’s case.
Ruud’s case has a lengthy court-proceeding history, including three judges and a change of venue.
[.....]
It was transferred from Ozark County to Taney County on a change-of-venue motion in October 2017. However, most of Ruud’s court proceedings have been held at the Greene County Courthouse in Springfield for the convenience of Holden, who has a full case load in Greene County.
Ruud’s first jury trial was scheduled for Aug. 27, 2018. It was continued to Jan. 28, 2019, then continued to Sept. 9, 2019, then continued to its current date of Jan. 27, 2020. At a Nov. 27, 2019, pre-trial conference Ruud waived her right to a jury trial and instead opted for a bench trial before Judge Holden.

I posted this over in Alex Holden's thread but copying here for discussion:
Is there any chance that Alex Holden disappearing is related to his dad being the judge on the Savannah Leckie murder case? My first thought is that it's probably unrelated... but wondering if someone wants to sway a judge could holding his son for ransom or murdering his son be part of their scheme? It's the 5th time that Rebecca Rudd's trial has been rescheduled and it's also undergone three judges and a change of venue. Rudd also waived her right to a jury trial and instead opted for a bench trial which I find very unusual-- that means the judge decides her fate.
Also, someone remind me, is Peat still walking around free?

Per my notes:
July 5 hearing, Judge Calvin Holden ruled that Peat could be released on his own recognizance “to reside with his family in Ozark County” with GPS monitoring by Court Probationary Services.

sorry, I used Chrome and it worked.. the article is from Oct. 10, 2019
Peat no longer required to be monitored by GPS
The next court appearance for Ruud’s husband and co-defendant in the case, Robert Peat Jr., will occur after Ruud’s trial. Peat, who is also charged with first-degree murder, abuse or neglect of a child, second-degree murder, tampering with physical evidence in a felony prosecution and abandonment of a corpse, is scheduled to return to court for a pre-trial conference at 11 a.m. Friday, Feb. 7. The jury for Peat’s case will be chosen from Greene County.
The court removed the stipulation that Peat be monitored by GPS during a May 24 court hearing. According to online records, Peat was ordered to report twice weekly to a probation officer with Court Probationary Services. Peat was arrested on Sept. 21, 2017. He was released on his own recognizance on July 5, 2018.

IMHO it would be really far fetched, given the fact that Alex left his apartment randomly at 2:30am after an argument with his girlfriend.
