“She’s been in a state of depression,” said Joshua bailey, Kayla’s husband.
Joshua said early Monday morning was the last time they saw Kayla.
“We got up around 6:30 in the morning,” said Joshua. “My daughter had already gotten up and she said that she basically looked at her and they looked at each other and there was definitely awkwardness.”
After realizing something was wrong, they said they pinged her cellphone location and it showed she was at the Sunoco gas station on U.S. 301 about half a mile away from their home.
“Just has ghosted herself from the family,” said Lisa Lucas, Kayla’s mom.
A JSO report said Bailey and her husband were having issues. Their daughter told officers that Bailey left the home and took her children to her mother’s place for several weeks but returned home last week.
The officer wrote that he believed bailey left of her own free will.
