Hearing for 2 charged in missing Fayette Co. 1-year-old case could be moved due to Pickens County murder trial​

A preliminary hearing for two charged in connection with the mysterious disappearance of missing Fayette County 1-year-old Kahleb Collins could be moved from its set date for Tuesday.

District Attorney Andrew Hamlin, who serves Lamar, Pickens and Fayette County, filed a motion Friday requesting a judge for a continuance of hearings set for February 11 for John Bailey and Wendy Pam Bailey, the child’s grandfather and mother.

The reason for that filing is because Hamilin and defense counsel will be in Pickens County next Tuesday for a specially set jury trial. According to court records, that trial is for Jeremy Colvin, charged with capital murder and attempted murder for shooting and killing one and injuring 4 others in Aliceville in 2021.

Hamlin is requesting that the judge set the hearing on the next available preliminary hearing docket so that the state may adequately present its case.

DA seeks postponement in case of missing Fayette County toddler due to trial conflict
Another delay was requested for the preliminary hearings in connection to cases involving the disappearance of Fayette County toddler Kahleb Collins.

New court documents filed Friday, February 7 show District Attorney Andrew C. Hamlin submitted a motion to continue hearings for both Collins' mother, Wendy Pamela Bailey, and his grandfather, John Bailey.

The hearings were set for February 11, 2025 after a previous continuance was granted for a previous date of January 15, 2025

The request is due to a scheduling conflict, as the State will be engaged in a specially set jury trial in Pickens County on the same date.

"The State of Alabama respectfully requests the above-listed case be continued from the February 11, 2025, docket and set on the next available preliminary hearing docket," the court documents stated. This request aims to ensure that the State can adequately present its case to the court.
 
State asks for more time in missing toddler case; investigation not complete
The State of Alabama has filed a motion to continue the preliminary hearing in the case against Wendy Pamela Bailey and John Bailey originally scheduled for March 11, 2025. Andrew C. Hamlin, the District Attorney for the 24th Judicial Circuit, submitted the request citing an incomplete investigative file as the reason for the delay.

The motion, filed electronically on March 5, 2025, asks the court to reschedule the hearing to the next available docket. The state emphasized the need for additional time to adequately prepare its case against both defendants.

"The State of Alabama respectfully requests the above-listed case be continued from the March 11, 2025, docket and set on the next available preliminary hearing docket so that the State may adequately present its case to this Honorable Court," said Hamlin in the motion.

The decision now rests with the court to determine if it will grant the motion and set a new date. If approved it would be the third delay of the preliminary hearings.
