According to information from Christian County Prosecutor Ron Cleek, who charged Wigton with abandoning a corpse, a Class D felony, Wigton claimed that Bailey had overdosed on drugs.

Two Ozark residents were killed Friday when they Beechcraft Bonanza airplane crashed near the intersection of Route CC and Fremont Road, ½ mile west of Air Park South. Wyman Bailey, 66, the pilot and his wife, Betty, 67. Were apparently attempting to land at the airport at about 1:30 p.m. when the left wing of the low-flying plane struck the ground and flipped the craft end over end. Witnesses said the plane crashed nose-first into the ground. No explosion or fire occurred upon impact. A first responder administered CPR to Wyman Bailey to no avail. It is believed Betty Bailey died upon impact. Although construction workers in the area said the airplane seemed to “miss” or sputter as though it were out of fuel. Federal Aviation Administration investigators said all four fuel tanks had fuel in the,. Mitch Robbins, an Air Safety Investigator with the National Transportation Safety Board, said Sunday that weather was not likely a cause for the crash despite the fact winds were higher than normal Friday.
