Why would a case disappear off of case net?

My son was charged with felony assault and armed criminal action. He has been going to court over these, Monday was court they told him not to appear, when I checked case net the cases are gone. I have looked everyday and they are still not there why would they disappear and can the state pick up these charges. I know the person that filed the assault charges hasn’t shown up for court.

It’s possible that the prosecutor has dismissed the cases. Or, if this was a felony, they may have secured an indictment and the case now has a new number. You should contact an attorney to search for the case for you, or you can ask the court for the status. Just keep in mind, if the prosecutor dismissed the case, they can generally refile the case if they choose. Tell your son not to talk about the case with anyone but his attorney.
