A 1-year-old boy is missing more than a week after a wreck killed his father and 2-year-old sister in Fayette County, authorities said Monday.

Nearly a year later, Kahleb Collins case moves slowly as John Bailey set for court
Nearly a year after their arrest, John Bailey is set to appear in a Fayette County courtroom Wednesday morning in connection with the disappearance and presumed death of toddler Kahleb Collins. His daughter, Wendy Bailey, who was also arrested, has had her hearings postponed multiple times, with her next court date scheduled for April 2026.

Both Wendy and John Bailey have pleaded not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect to charges including aggravated child abuse, domestic violence, and abuse of a corpse.


Court filings allege Kahleb was severely abused before his disappearance. The Fayette County Sheriff's Office reported that remains found on the Baileys' property are believed to be Kahleb's, though DNA confirmation is still pending from the FBI lab.

Both Wendy and John Bailey remain in custody at the Fayette County Jail.

1 year since ALEA issued missing alert for Kahleb Collins, advocates push for legislation to hold DHR employees accountable​

Wednesday marked one year since the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency issued an Emergency Missing Child Alert for Fayette County 1-year-old Kahleb Collins.

Investigators would later find human remains in a burn pile outside the family’s home, and those remains are currently being tested to see if they belong to Kahleb.


Dan Newburn runs Missing In USA, a platform that advocates for missing children. He says Kahleb’s story inspired him to draft The Kahleb and Ryleigh Collins Act.

It would allow families to sue Child Protective Services workers in civil court as well as open the possibility of criminal charges if abuse reports are ignored and a child is harmed, something he says Alabama needs.

“When we were made aware of all these cases in regards to child protective services and children being placed in unsafe environments or left in unsafe environments, we found 13 different cases over a 10-year span where children lost their lives,” Newburn told WBRC. “That’s just in Alabama.”

Newburn says right now he is still working on finding a state lawmaker to back the bill during the next legislative session.

Plea Hearing Delayed Again in Kahleb Collins Case

In the Circuit Court of Fayette County, Wendy Bailey had been scheduled for a plea hearing on April 13, 2026.

The court granted the request, and Wendy Bailey’s plea hearing has been rescheduled for September 14, 2026.

John Bailey, who is also charged in connection with the case and is identified as Kahleb Collins’ grandfather, remains scheduled for a plea docket on April 13, 2026, at 9:00 a.m., according to the most recent information available.

No additional details regarding the charges or the status of the broader investigation were included in the latest court filing. The cases against both defendants remain pending.

That's what I've been saying. These delays are getting ridiculous. SheWho posted in another thread about yet another continuance.
