(KTTS News) — The murder case against a woman from Ozark County charged with killing her daughter is in the hands of a Greene County judge.
Closing arguments wrapped up Thursday in Springfield in the trial for Rebecca Ruud. She’s charged with killing 16-year-old Savannah Leckie in 2017.
Investigators say Ruud killed the girl, then burned her remains on her property in Ozark County.
Two former inmates testified that Ruud admitted to the murder while she was behind bars.
KY3 says the defense contends Leckie killed herself.
