Wow, I'm so glad they found him but am very shocked it took them so long to search the burn pile. WTH?

ABC 33/40 captured drone footage to reveal the aftermath of recent searches at the property once rented by Steven Collins and Wendy Bailey. Investigators have been seen previously digging in the yard and sifting through what appeared to be ashes.

It was a long process of sifting through almost a barrel of ash, Yerby said. The sheriff said law enforcement found human remains the size of a quarter well before it was shared with the public.

“It’s a big deal,” Yerby said. “They were actually found several weeks ago, but we were waiting on confirmation.”

They needed confirmation that it was in fact human remains. Now, the FCSO is awaiting confirmation they are Collins’ remains.

“About six weeks ago, we sent the remains to the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences,” Yerby said.

NO worries @JoeFromLB

Quick catchup for you.

The mother and her father have been charged and await trial. It all began when the mother, her husband and her daughter were in a horrific automobile wreck. Father died. Daughter died. It was only then discovered that the couple's other child was missing, and had been for a while.

Turns out he was beaten to death. With father dead, only mother and her own father, who resided with them, are left to face trial for this awful murder.

Both Wendy and John Bailey are scheduled to be arraigned in August.
