MIDDLE RIVER, MN (trfnews.i234.me) – We have an important update on what was initially reported by the Marshall County Sheriff’s Office as a kidnapping. Sheriff Jason Boman has now clarified that the incident was actually a domestic violence case.
Here’s what we know: Christ Rud and Hannah Cummings were found a couple of miles south of Middle River, camped in a tent at a relative’s farmstead on Saturday morning. According to the sheriff, there was a domestic violence incident between the pair the previous night. Rud had left the scene and then returned, leading to their discovery in the tent.
