Live Trial Coverage: MO v. Rebecca Ruud – Teen Daughter Murder Trial – Biological Mother on Trial for Allegedly Murdering 16-Year-Old Girl

THIS IS A BENCH TRIAL, MEANING NO JURY, THE JUDGE MAKES THE DECISION

A Missouri woman is on trial for allegedly murdering her biological daughter. Opening statements in the murder case against Rebecca Ruud, 39, is scheduled to begin Monday, June 27 at about 8:30 a.m. CT / 9:30 a.m.

Daughter Savannah Leckie, 16, grew up in Minnesota with her adoptive parents, but moved in with Ruud at the woman’s 81-acre farm property. Colleagues at the Theodosia Area Volunteer Fire Department remembered her warmly as a junior firefighter, but her life with her biological mother was allegedly hell. Ruud abused her, literally putting salt and alcohol in her wounds, officials said, according to The Springfield News-Leader. Ruud also made Leckie roll in a pigpen and bathe in a muddy pond, officials have said.

Leckie was special needs, diagnosed with ADHD and with high-functioning autism, her adoptive mother Tamile Leckie-Montague told the News-Leader. Later, she developed behavioral issues at a teenager and was diagnosed with depression, Leckie-Montague said.

Ruud allegedly contacted the fire department on July 18, 2017, to put out a fire on her property. She was later arrested at a Greyhound bus station in Springfield, Missouri after she purchased a ticket to Kansas City. She and her husband Robert Peat Jr., who is not Savannah’s biological father, were indicted for first-degree murder, second-degree murder, abuse or neglect of a child resulting in death, abandonment of a corpse, and tampering with physical evidence, but Peat’s defense has offered his testimony against Ruud.

TikTok, known in China as Douyin, is a Chinese video-sharing social networking service owned by ByteDance, a Beijing-based Internet technology company founded in 2012 by Zhang Yiming. It is used to create short music, lip-sync, dance, comedy and talent videos of 3 to 15 seconds, and short looping videos of 3 to 60 seconds.

ByteDance first launched Douyin for the Chinese market in September 2016. Later, TikTok was launched in 2017 for iOS and Android in most markets outside of mainland China; however, it only became available worldwide, including the United States, after merging with another Chinese social media service Musical.ly on 2 August 2018.
