FAYETTE COUNTY, Ala. (WBMA) — The State of Alabama has filed a motion in the Circuit Court of Fayette County seeking a genetic sample from Wendy Pamela Jean Bailey.

Bailey faces multiple charges including aggravated child abuse, domestic violence in the first degree, corpse abuse, and criminally negligent homicide in connection to the deaths of her one-year-old son Kahleb Collins and 2-year-old daughter Ryleigh Collins.

The motion, submitted by Andrew C. Hamlin, District Attorney for the 24th Judicial Circuit of Alabama, requests the court to mandate Bailey to provide a genetic sample.

The state argues that this sample is necessary for a comparative analysis to determine if Bailey is a contributor to biological evidence collected during the investigation.

The motion states, “Good cause exists for believing that the requested disclosures are relevant and material to the merits of the charge.” It further asserts that obtaining the genetic sample would not constitute an unreasonable intrusion or affront to Bailey’s dignity.

The court’s decision on the motion is pending.
