Mystery As Deadly Car Crash Reveals 1-Year-Old Baby Has Been Missing For Months

Just where is Kahleb Rowan Collins?? That’s what police in Alabama are trying to figure out.

Back on December 8, an Alabama family was involved in a tragic accident when their truck crashed into a tree in Fayette County. Per WBRC, investigators said father Steven Collins was “driving aggressively at an extreme rate of speed” at 92 mph when he lost control of the vehicle, sending it spinning out of control and straight into a tree. In the truck with him were his 2-year-old daughter Ryleigh and his wife Wendy Bailey. Sadly, the crash claimed the lives of the dad and the toddler, while the mom was airlifted to a nearby hospital in critical condition.

State Troopers reported at the time of the crash the road was wet, which could explain the spinning, but nothing else seems to make any sense. They also took note of the fact neither parent was wearing a seatbelt, nor was little Ryleigh in a car seat. Steven was thrown from the truck, and Wendy was “slightly ejected.” Investigators say the truck was being “operated aggressively”. Yeah, no kidding.

Such a terrible loss for this family — but horrifyingly, this crash opened up a world of questions.

On December 9, one day after the deadly wreck, the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office learned the couple had another child — a 1-year-old baby named Kahleb. He wasn’t in the truck with his family. The scary part is no one seems to know where he is! In fact, police say he’s been missing for more than THREE MONTHS, but up until now no one has said a word!

And this is where things get MORE concerning…

After an Emergency Missing Child Alert was sent out for the tot, more information started to come to light. For one, a Facebook post was found on the father’s account from November 6 — one month before the crash — stating the little one had some health issues:

“Our son is not doing well. He is not growing and has major back issues. His organs are growing but not his body. He has to have surgery at some point. Keep him in your prayers. Been rough and just seems going to be a long rough tough road ahead of us”

Keep in mind police say the baby had been missing for THREE months before the crash. Something isn’t adding up…

Then, some time after this post, neighbors of the family told a local ABC outlet that Collins had been telling everyone his son “had gone to live with relatives because he was sick”. But the only relative authorities could find is the boy’s grandfather, John Elton Bailey, who was arrested on December 11 for failure to report a missing child. If they have enough of a case to arrest him for that, shouldn’t that mean he knows at least something about the boy’s whereabouts? Right now he remains in custody at Fayette County Jail.

Something fishy is definitely going on here, and we hope police are able to get to the bottom of it and locate Kahleb safe and sound. As of right now, though, things seem eerily silent.

Thoughts, Perezcious readers?
