Woman accused of leaving son's body in suitcase in Indiana to stand trial in Louisville

Washington County Prosecutor Tara Coats Hunt said the venue change "ensures the strongest legal foundation and prevents any future appellate ruling from overturning a conviction due to a technicality."

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!

9/29/25 Docket update: Hearing scheduling activity. Next pretrial conference on 11/13/25 @ 9am. 11/13/25 Update: Pretrial conference with Judge Larry Medlock presiding. Result: Concluded. Order on next pretrial conference hearing on 12/11/25 @ 9am.
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.
*Dawn Elaine Coleman (40/now 43) - 11/21/23: Coleman plead guilty. Judgment by Judge Larry W. Medlock.

Anderson & any other criminal case that may be brought against Dejaune L. Anderson resulting from the death of Cairo Jordan.
