An Alabama mother has been arrested after allegedly informing investigators that her missing 1-year-old infant was dead and his body had been stored in a storage facility, according to a criminal complaint.
The discovery came shortly after the accident in which Wendy Pamela Bailey, 22, claimed the lives of Steven Bradley Collins, 40, and Riley Collins, 2.
A third child, Caleb Rowan Collins, 1, is missing.

After investigating Mr. Caleb's whereabouts, the 24th Circuit Attorney's Office and the Alabama State Bureau of Investigation believe that Mr. Caleb is deceased.
The investigation led them to believe that Caleb was not only dead, but had been alive for some time.
Investigators said they had evidence that the father, Stephen Collins, abused the boy and that the mother failed to intervene or report the abuse, according to court documents.

“His body has not yet been recovered, but law enforcement teams are still actively gathering information and searching for his remains,” the official said.
