Another woman involved, Dawn Coleman, is already serving a 30-year sentence — with five years suspended — for her role. Coleman admitted she helped Anderson dispose of Cairo’s body and has agreed to testify against her. According to investigators, Coleman told police she found Anderson on top of Cairo inside their Louisville home and believed he was already dead. Court documents say she helped place the child’s body into the suitcase that was later dumped across the river in Indiana.

Anderson’s Indiana trial had been pushed back several times, and was most recently set for January 6, 2026. Now that the case is moving, it’s unclear when the new Kentucky trial will begin. The Jefferson County Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office confirmed Anderson is scheduled to be arraigned on December 15.

Since her arrest, Anderson has repeatedly disrupted court proceedings — at one point trying to represent herself, refusing psychiatric evaluations, and filing dozens of handwritten motions containing accusations against the judge, her attorneys, and court staff.

Last year, Judge Larry Medlock ruled she could not represent herself and ordered her into psychiatric treatment until she was mentally fit for trial. In February 2025, he stated she had completed treatment and was now cooperating with her defense team, withdrawing her earlier claims.
