OTTAWA, Kan. —Franklin County, Kan., Sheriff’s Office said an arrest has been made in a triple slaying, and a missing 18-month-old girl is presumed dead. Sheriff Jeff Richards said Kyle Flack, 27, was arrested on suspicion of first-degree murder in the case.
The child's mother, Kaylie Kathleen Bailey, 21, was found dead earlier this week with two men -- identified as Steven Eugene White, 31, Andrew Adam Stout, 30, both of Ottawa, at a property in rural Ottawa.
Kaylie and her daughter, Lana Bailey, were reported missing last week. Their car was recovered late Tuesday in Emporia, about 50 miles from where the bodies were found.
Investigators said they have not recovered the child's body, but said that they believe she is a homicide victim.
"It's really senseless. The other killings are not understandable in most of our minds. But that one would really not be understood. You think, 'Why would you kill this little girl who can't identify him, can't talk to anybody?'" said Andrew Pettijohn, Lana Bailey's great-grandfather.
Authorities said they would not discuss a possible motive in the case and stressed it was an ongoing investigation.
Richards said a team from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children will help with the case. The sheriff also said that a mounted search and rescue team would be utilized in the search for Lana.
