Charles Bailey Had A Screw Loose

PLACERVILLE, CA - Early last SaturdaySaturday reviews
morning, Charles Anthony Bailey, 50, got mad. So he used an ax to attack his 34-year-old girlfriend Merrily Melson, and took off with their son, 2-year-old Andrew Bailey. He didn’t manage to kill Melson, and she was able to tell investigators what had happened, resulting in an Amber Alert being issued. A few hours later, Bailey was found at a gas station but little Andrew was nowhere to be found.
At about 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, Andrew Bailey’s tiny body was located in a trash can behind a Kmart store in Martell, California. And while details are still sketchy and the autopsy reports were not released, Bailey was accused in court Tuesday of using a screwdriver to kill his toddler son.
Merrily Melson’s mother, Elinor Melson, says that she’s “aged a hundred years in the past two days”. She says that Bailey’s descent into violence seemed sudden and totally unexpected. “That’s the really scary part. I vote for brain bacteria, or Alzheimer’s, or a terrible tumor because the idea that any one of you could wake up tomorrow morning and become an ax murderer is just too frightening to contemplate.” Or, I guess, a screwdriver murderer.
Bailey has no criminal record or history of violence, and social services agencies have had no prior contact with the family at all, so Merrily’s mom might have a point. Bailey worked for Endwave Corporation, an electronics firm. Merrily Melson appears to own a small tie-dye company called Wholesome Goodies. She suffered “significant” head and face injuries and cuts to her upper body, but was able to run to a neighbor’s house from the fifth-wheel trailer on some land where she and Bailey and Andrew were living. Melson has been treated and released from the hospital.
Bailey was arraigned Tuesday on a charges of murder with a special allegation of use of a deadly weapon, attempted murder and spousal abuse, all with special cirucmstances. He’s in jail and not going anywhere soon. His next court appearance is scheduled for April 28.

“Brain bacteria”? Cerebral hemmorhoids, more likely.

So sad
as a mother of a 2 year old it just breaks my heart.
I have read several articles about him & everyone says he was the nicest man even his ex-wife had good things to say. I wonder what made him snap. There is just no excuse.
