As it turned out, Priscilla Wyers was wrong — using her daughter didn’t get her off the hook for the killing. Despite the abuse, Wyers still went to jail for first-degree murder, and Mary Bailey was placed in Foster care after testifying against her. According to UPI, the prosecution argued that Wayne Wyers was no threat to the family at the time of his death because he was asleep. He had passed his chair in a drunken stupor at the time.
Although Mary Bailey was put in foster care and her mother was sent to prison, the two were reunited again a decade later. Wyers came up for parole in 1998, and not long after Bailey moved back in with her mother. However, Marushka Media claims that their relationship did not entirely heal. Although Bailey has said that she has forgiven her mother, she had not seen her in decades at the time of the report — although her mother had texted her more than once to ask for money.

Bailey went on to have a fairly normal life, earning a nursing degree and starting a medical uniform business, which she runs with her now ex-husband. She is passionate about sports and plans to start a foundation to help children struggling in the foster system.
