On August 7, 2017, I published an article titled, "Adam Bailey's Murder Shed Light On The Role of GHB In Megan Rondini's Rape Case". Adam Bryant Bailey died one year ago today. He was a 24-year-old forest technician for Forestry Research Contractors in Gordo, Alabama.
In August of 2016, Adam stumbled upon a clandestine sex trafficking ring that his old friend Brett Patrick Davis and several accomplices were operating in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Adam Bailey reportedly went ballistic when he saw a blindfolded and physically restrained underage girl being taken from a vehicle and carried into one of the warehouses to which Brett Davis and his accomplices had access. Adam tried unsuccessfully to intervene on this girl's behalf. This move turned out to be a fatal one for Adam.
Adam Bailey was neutralized to ensure that there would be no further acts on his part to intervene in or otherwise impede the sex trafficking he had witnessed.
On August 7, 2016, Adam was unobtrusively administered a fatal overdose of GHB while he was in the company of Caleb Payne LeGrone, a close friend and drug trafficking partner of Brett Davis. Shortly thereafter, Adam got extremely sick and passed out while he was in the company of Victoria Love, an acquaintance of suspect Caleb LeGrone. Adam experienced nausea, seizures, vomiting, dizziness, depressed breathing, and unconsciousness, all of which are symptoms of a GHB overdose.
Victoria Love contacted Caleb LeGrone to tell him about Adam's physical condition. LeGrone sent a text message to her stating that he (LeGrone) and his accomplices had made up a false story to cover up for what really happened to Adam earlier that night. After speaking with LeGrone, Victoria Love left Adam alone in his truck at his house and went to her home.
Caleb LeGrone and Mathew Fulton Hartley, Adam's housemate, arrived at Adam's house before the police were called. LeGrone told police he tried to revive Adam once they got him inside the house.
After police officers were called to the scene, Adam was taken to DCH Regional Medical Center in Tuscaloosa where he was placed on a respirator for six days. He never regained consciousness. On August 14, 2016 at 10:27 a.m., Adam was taken off the respirator and declared dead.
LeGrone and Hartley were contacted for a follow up interview about the highly questionable text message LeGrone sent to Victoria Love. LeGrone never responded. Hartley did respond, but he wanted an attorney present. Remarkably, the police file does not show any follow-up interviews with LeGrone or Hartley about this matter.
Adam never got a chance to report the sex trafficking activity he had witnessed to law enforcement authorities. He was murdered to prevent this from happening.
On August 16, 2016, an autopsy by the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences listed Adam Bailey's cause of death as a "Seizure Disorder" and the manner of death as "Undetermined". A toxicology report confirmed the presence of various substances in Adam's body, but none that would have caused his death. Some of these substances were administered to Adam as part of his emergency room and ICU medical treatments.
The autopsy procedures did not test the vitreous humor area of Adams' eyes, his tear ducts, or his hair for the presence of GHB. An overdose of GHB would have killed Adam and could have been detected in his body at the time of the autopsy through these testing procedures.
The Tuscaloosa Metro Homicide Unit investigated Adam's death. They closed the case on March 10, 2017, without determining what substance cause Adam's fatal overdose and without following up on Caleb LeGrone's false cover story. No arrest has been made in connection with Adam Bailey's murder.
The police file in Adam's murder case, when viewed under objective and professional standards, is sorely lacking in basic detective work.
Today marks the first anniversary of Adam Bailey's death. An online petition launched by Cindy Gilliam seeks an independent investigation into Adam's murder. In less than a week, the petition has already garnered 1,431 of the 2,000 signatures sought.
The primary suspects in Adam's murder case remain free. Some of them appear to enjoy a special form of protection within Tuscaloosa's law enforcement community as they slide in and out of jail on a carousel basis.
