OTTAWA, Kan. — Franklin County law enforcement officials say they no longer have an active search for Lana Bailey, but will now continue with the criminal investigation into the quadruple murder.

The discovery came just as the authorities were preparing to scale back their search for the 18-month-old girl.

“About 10 p.m. last night, we discovered and recovered a body that we believe to be that of Lana-Leigh Bailey, Franklin County Sheriff Jeff Richards told reporters.

Sheriff Richards said Lana’s body was found in rural Osage County. Earlier Saturday evening, a deputy found some items related to the homicide investigation in the same area, although law enforcement officials won’t say what was found.

“We didn’t have any tips or anything that led us there. This was the initiative of a deputy and it was good police work,” Richards said. “You have to have instincts. This deputy had instincts.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A Kansas City mother says she has spent years trying to help her now 11-year-old daughter get to a healthy weight, which has spiked to 400 pounds.

Earlene Johnson said her daughter’s pediatrician referred her to Children’s Mercy Hospital. But, instead of getting help, the mom claims she got “hotlined.”

Johnson said she finds the whole thing insulting. Not only did a doctor at the children’s hospital refuse to help her find the true cause of the weight gain of her daughter, Falica, she was instead told it was her fault.

“We exercise everyday. We’ve been in nutrition classes every since 2007,” Johnson said.

At just 11 years old, Falica is 400 pounds. And it’s a mystery that has even stumped her pediatrician, who Johnson says has tried everything to explain her weight gain.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Think you have to be in the same room with a doctor to have an exam? Not anymore. You don’t even have to be in the same state.

Little Annalesia McCoy is having her first virtual visit.

“Hi, doctor!” Annalesia says to the doctor she sees on a computer screen.

“I’m the computer doctor. How are you doing?” asks Dr. Jay Portnoy as he looks at his laptop.

Dr. Portnoy is in Kansas City at a Children’s Mercy clinic. Annalesia is in Wichita at a new Children’s Mercy clinic.
The allergy specialist uses headphones to listen to her heart and lungs through a digital stethoscope.

“I can hear more with this than I can with the regular stethoscope because it’s amplified,” Dr. Portnoy says.

Then the doc takes a look at some bumps on Annalesia’s skin. He diagnoses eczema and recommends treatments.
