The last message Rucker’s family received, according to NBC station WESH, which was tracking this missing person’s case, was that she was heading home that evening after picking up supper on November 11.
Rucker was last seen on November 13 at 7:30 p.m., according to the Winter Springs Police Department. She was last seen leaving her house with her estranged husband, 51-year-old Cory Hill, who was considered a person of interest in relation to her disappearance.
Her family, they stated, thought she had gone to an unidentified place with Hill. After shooting at his ex-girlfriend last Sunday, Hill is being held at the Orange County Jail on four counts of attempted murder.
