A search for a missing one-year-old child is ongoing after a fatal car crash involving his parents and sister in Alabama. The child, Kahleb Rowan Collins, was reportedly missing for two months prior to the crash.
State investigators from the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) and the State Bureau of Investigations (SBI) have joined the search for a missing one-year-old child after a fatal crash . The Fayette County Sheriff's office identified the toddler as Kahleb Rowan Collins in the first news release on the case since the search began several days ago. No photos of the toddler were provided.
Reports that Kahleb was unaccounted for came after his parents and two-year-old sister were in a fatal car crash on Dec. 8. His father Steven Collins and sister Ryleigh were killed; his mother Wendy Bailey remains in ICU at UAB Hospital in critical condition. It is believed the child was not in the truck at the time of the crash; the site was thoroughly searched according to a county official. Information indicates the toddler may have been missing two months before the wreck and it was not reported to authorities. Law enforcement was notified the day after the crash that the couple had another child and no one knew where he was. When speaking with neighbors, one told WBMA she knew the couple had a son but only saw their young daughter. When they asked where Kahleb was a few months ago, the father said he had gone to live with relatives because he was sick. The parents told family members that Kahleb had health issues, and at one point, the toddler was said to be staying with a family friend. 'Our son is not doing well. He is not growing and has major back issues,' Steven Collins said in a Nov. 6 Facebook post. 'His organs are growing but not in his body. He has to have surgery at some point. Keep him in your prayers.' A neighbor reported investigators were digging around the property on Highway 129 where the family lived. It is not known if anything was found. Sources also told WBMA that a relative who lived at the house had been arrested by Fayette County investigators on charges he failed to report a missing chil
