Although Rebecca had marital problems, her mother knew that, even if Rebecca had left her husband, she wouldn’t have left her children behind. Authorities launched an investigation, hoping the devoted mother could be reunited with her three kids. Nearly a month later, however, Rebecca’s 8-year-old son made a shocking confession to a school counselor that changed everything.

According to local reports, Rebecca‘s 8-year-old son approached a counselor at his elementary school, telling the counselor he watched his dad, Judson Hoover, 50, kill his mother in the family’s basement.

After the boy’s statement to the counselor, school officials contacted the police, the Courier-Journal reports. Investigators spoke to Hoover’s son, who allegedly said he saw his father attack his mother, describing how he’d stomped on her head about 20 times while wearing work boots.

The child also said Judson punched the unresponsive mother of three while holding a set of keys in his hand as she lay down on the ground.

Judson was arrested Monday, as he tried to pick up his children from school. He went before a judge Thursday and entered his guilty plea.

The reports indicate affidavits filed in the case say traces of blood were found near the bottom of the basement steps. Those affidavits also detail prior allegations of domestic battery and show Judson was charged with strangulation in April.

It has also been reported that Judson has a history of being aggressive and violent. Earlier, he was arrested on domestic violence charges. In April, he had allegedly struck Rebecca 15 to 20 times in the face, head, and neck. For the latest allegations, he could face a jail term between 45 and 65 years, with an advisory of 55.
Judson has been held at Floyd County Corrections.
