The body of 67 year old Robert Lee Bailey, a SC Constable and retired Deputy, was found in a shallow grave in Orangeburg, SC. He was shot several times, although the number of times has not been confirmed yet. An autopsy confirmed his identity today. Bailey, who has been missing for a week, after making a traffic stop of a 1989 Chevy Caprice, with Walter Fayall and his girlfriend, Asia Prioleau inside.

Bailey was patrolling Lincolnville as a volunteer. According to arrest affidavits, he had just cleared a traffic stop and was on the street where two suspects lived when several shots sounded and radio contact was lost.When help arrived, Bailey was gone. His constable’s cap, two pistols, several shell casings and a large pool of his blood were found in the street and the yard of small home on the street

Apparently some kind of struggle occurred and the Constable was shot multiple times. His body was then put in the Caprice. Bailey’s squad car was dumped and burned, as was his belt, holster and badge in a separate location. Then the couple called Washington and Smalls to help them. They met up at an exit off of Interstate 26 and Bailey’s body was moved to Washington’s car. The Caprice was then burned. The group then went to another exit off of the Interstate and buried his body in the shallow grave. Once the Caprice was discovered, agents arrested Asia Prioleau and she gave them the evidence needed to find Bailey’s body and make other arrests.

According to officials, Walter Fayall is being charged with murder, as is Asia Prioleau. Five people have been arrested in this case so far: Asia Prioleau, Walter Fayall, Brian Smalls, Jerome Washington and Asia Arlene O’Neil. Washington and Smalls are being charged with accessories after the fact. O’Neil is charged with accessory after the fact and obstruction of justice.
