The Sheriff?s Department is still treating this as a ?missing person? case, but authorities have maintained they are not ruling out foul play.
The woman?s husband, 23-year-old Shaun Rudy, is expected to make an initial appearance on unrelated drug paraphernalia and firearm charges this afternoon. He is being held in the Clark County jail on a $1,000 cash bond and a probation hold.
The case received national attention last night on CNN Headline News? ?Nancy Grace? program as well as a Fox News program.

Backus says the man told authorities that he had recently left his wife on a hill in Crawford County.
