Human remains believed to be missing 1-year-old found in burn pile at family home in Fayette County
- Authorities uncovered what is thought to be the remains of one-year-old Kahleb Collins in a burn pile located at the family’s property in Fayette County on Thursday.
- Kahleb was initially declared missing following a fatal car accident in December 2024 that resulted in the deaths of his 2-year-old sister and 40-year-old father, while his mother sustained critical injuries.
- Kahleb's mother, Wendy Bailey, and his grandfather, John Bailey, were arrested and indicted last month on multiple charges, including mistreatment of a deceased body and negligent homicide.
- Sheriff Byron Yerby said, "This is a heartbreaking outcome," and noted the discovery brings closure while reminding all of the duty to protect children.
- An anthropologist verified the evidence, which was then sent for forensic identification, while authorities remain dedicated to seeking justice in this matter.
