The crime took place in July 2018. The Orange City Police Department was asked by police from Hillsville, Virginia, to check on Bailey, after Barber was caught by them during a traffic pursuit. He was driving Bailey's car. At the time, OCPD Lieutenant Jason Sampsell said Barber practically confessed to the officer who captured him, saying 'I murdered someone in Florida, here is the address.'

Police responded to Bailey's address to find her deceased due to multiple stab wounds.
