Douglas Bailey, 51, was reported missing after he failed to attend a family Thanksgiving gathering in Pekin, Illinois on November 30, 2015 and could not be reached. He was last seen with his girlfriend, Rose Marie Kuehni, who told the family they had argued at a truck stop in Wolcott, Iowa and that Bailey walked away from their vehicle.

On December 9, 2015 police found two boxes near a ravine in Bell County, Kentucky; one of the boxes contained Bailey’s remains. An autopsy showed he had been fatally shot several weeks earlier. Authorities focused on Kuehni because of inconsistencies in her account and because Bailey had told his sister he was involved with another woman, Brenda Hughes, suggesting he might have been planning to leave Kuehni.

Kuehni has been charged with first-degree intentional homicide and hiding a corpse. She reportedly confessed to shooting Bailey and said she had been abused by him, and she said Clarence Hicks helped dispose of the body. What don’t readers know about this case that might help — did anyone see Bailey after he left the truck stop or notice the vehicle in Wolcott that day?
