The Fayette County Sheriff’s Office has confirmed the discovery of what they believe are the human remains of missing one-year-old Kahleb Collins.
Following extensive investigations at the family’s property, authorities report they have discovered remains, believed to be those of Kahleb Collins, within a burn pile at the residence. This evidence has been forwarded to forensic experts for definitive identification.
The search for the young child has been ongoing since December when Wendy Pamela Bailey, 22, was in a car accident that resulted in the deaths of Steven Bradley Collins, 40, and two-year-old Ryleigh Collins.

“This is a heartbreaking outcome, and our thoughts and prayers are with all those who loved Kahleb,” said Sheriff Byron Yerby. “While this discovery brings a measure of closure, it is also a solemn reminder of the responsibility we all share in protecting our children. We are committed to continuing the pursuit of justice in this case.”
