The Washington County Prosecutor is going for the kill! I hope this works. :)

From your link:

A woman accused of killing her son and leaving his body in a suitcase three years ago was set to stand trial in southern Indiana next year [Jan 6, 2026], but the case was dismissed and her trial was moved to Louisville.

[...]
the complex case involves facts and evidence spanning both Indiana and Kentucky, and she decided to move the case to Jefferson County for a better chance of conviction.

"Although Washington County has been fully prepared to prosecute this case, shifting jurisdiction ensures the strongest legal foundation and prevents any future appellate ruling from overturning a conviction due to a technicality,"

@INfisherman - will you still be able to get into the Kentucky court site for her hearings? And if so, does it have a Judge's name on it? TIA! :)

All I can get is the next hearing date, similar to the Sergio Brown info.

12/9/25 Update: Anderson was set to stand trial in southern Indiana next year, but the case was dismissed & her trial was moved to Louisville. Washington County Prosecutor Tara Coats Hunt announced the update in a Dec. 9 Facebook post: According to the post, a Jefferson County, Kentucky, grand jury returned an indictment 12/8/25 against Anderson in the homicide case involving the death of 5-year-old Cairo Jordan. She's now facing charges of murder, manslaughter, criminal abuse & abuse of a corpse. She'll appear in court 12/15/25 & a judge already set a $500,000 bond. Anderson's trial was originally scheduled for October 2025 in Washington County but was moved to Jan. 6, 2026. Anderson was committed to a psychiatric facility in August 2024 & eventually found fit to stand trial. The venue change was granted after Hunt requested Jefferson County Commonwealth’s Attorney Gerina Whethers review the investigation into Cairo's murder & consider presenting the case to a grand jury. Anderson will now be prosecuted by Whethers & her office. Hunt's post said the complex case involves facts & evidence spanning both Indiana & Kentucky & she decided to move the case to Jefferson County for a better chance of conviction. "Although Washington County has been fully prepared to prosecute this case, shifting jurisdiction ensures the strongest legal foundation & prevents any future appellate ruling from overturning a conviction due to a technicality," she wrote.
