An Alabama woman is due in court next week regarding her 1-year-old son who has been missing since September.
Patch reported that Wendy Bailey, 22, is due in court on Tuesday for a preliminary hearing regarding her 2-year-old daughter’s homicide and missing son’s abuse. Her son, Kahleb Collins, was not in the December 8 crash that killed his older sister and father, though police he is also dead.
Collins’ disappearance came to light a day after the wreck which left Wendy Collins seriously injured.
Days after the deadly wreck, the missing boy’s grandfather, John Bailey, 50, was arrested for failing to report Kahleb Collins’ disappearance. Weeks later, Wendy Bailey was charged with failing to report her husband for abusing Kahleb Collins in July.

Authorities wrote that, on at least two instances, Wendy Bailey witnessed her son “being bound with rope, physically assaulted, and being bound by a rope from a loft with blood and bruising present.”
Kahleb Collins’ father allegedly sent Wendy Bailey photos showing their son hanging by a rope and bloody. The father reportedly wrote that he wanted to kill the toddler and he was not moving. He later texted Wendy Bailey that their son was moving.
Wendy Bailey was also charged with negligent homicide for her daughter’s death. Though she was a passenger, authorities determined she was negligent by failing to have her daughter restrained before the crash that killed her child.
Additionally, Wendy Bailey is charged with abusing a corpse as investigators believe her son’s body was put in a bag and stashed in a storage building. His body was eventually discarded at an unknown location, authorities suggested.
John Bailey remains jailed on a $100,000 bond, while Wendy Bailey’s bond was $1.9 million. John Bailey’s preliminary hearing is also scheduled for Tuesday.
