Kentucky State Police have since arrested Miya Rudd’s parents Tesla Tucker and Cage Rudd along with her grandfather Ricky Smith and grandmother Billie Smith on serious charges related to drugs and child neglect. Miya’s parents have been known to social services for some time due to drug issues with authorities previously removing Miya Rudd’s siblings from their care. Born in October Miya tested positive for methamphetamine at birth prompting concerns from social services about her well-being. When officials planned to remove Miya from her parents’ custody they discovered the family had vanished. Investigators traced Tucker and Rudd to a nearby hotel where they found various drugs like meth and fentanyl. However Miya was not with them. The family claimed social services had taken Miya after her birth but officials found no record of this.
