Looks like someone started a missing page for him. Missing Corey Bailey

That has to have been started by Jessica, his wife. She's been keeping her online presence low in regards to this as she's been contacted by so many news outlets, "psychics", and other random people. The page is probably the best way to filter it.

From NAMUS “Corey was described as an avid hiker, survivalist and expressed a desire to live a self sustainable life style.“

@Billi@m I have read all of your comments. Do you believe in your heart of hearts that he would disappear for this long with intent?

I wouldn't put it past him, but I doubt he'd go about it this way. No goodbyes, no contact, and he left his car at the repair shop and stuck his wife with the bill in his absence. THAT, more than anything else, is the most out of character action if this were a voluntary choice.

So , in looking at tags of the location, Castle Hot Springs, on Instagram, I notice it had rained there on December 28th.

Do you know anything about whether Investigators spoke with or interviewed the friends he was with?

I’m sorry about your friend. The longer this goes on, the least likely it is they he took some “me” time.

The only thing I can think of is he got sick and one of the cave dwellers has been nursing him back to health. Yeh, I have a hard time believing it too. I’m trying.

Thank you. It’s a bad obsession. I lose too much sleep. But I like to help. Everybody always has a trail.

@diggndeeperstill WOW. Your WS name is perfect.

@Billi@m keep this in mind...just because police say they do not suspect foul play - ain’t necessarily so.

I'm not exactly the most trusting person of government agency. They've a use, but aren't perfect. I know they can and will lie to loved ones, but trust me, Jessica ain't no fool. She can tell when someone is being less than honest and probably even why.

@Billi@m One thing you might consider is to take the offer up from this guy in comments about drone help. Yavapai County Sheriff's Office

I have to say— I agree with the other commenters. I don’t understand not reporting him missing right away.

Great. I was concerned about the dude with the weapon too.

One of my habits in researching a case is to look at most recent posts in the area. Insta and Snapchat if available. I was kinda curious if he might be in the background of a pic was my whole point. I hope someone does a full and thorough investigation, not just a search.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and family. May we all have a loyal friend like you.

In looking at recent Insta posts, one that caught my attention is a video of an area which is the dirt road that runs along the Castle Hot Springs Hotel property. I can tell you that the Hotel staff accommodations are old shipping containers repurposed as living quarters and storage units. IMO MOO

Thanks for the link. Honestly, I wouldn't have been worried about Corey for that long either. He's incredibly independent and self sufficient. He was also grieving at the time so even more alone time would just be natural for him. They probably only reported him missing when they did because he left his phone behind and they had no way to check up on him.

Thank you. I should also mention that he's officially registered as a missing person with namus now. Idk when that occurred, but here's the link.

The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)

Circumstances of Disappearance

Corey has not been seen or heard from since. Corey was described as an avid hiker, survivalist and expressed a desire to live a self sustainable life style.

Billi@m, do you know what hill that was? ^^^

The photo below and others like it were posted to Corey's FB back in 2010. And, I realize that this is not the same area where he went missing, but I'm wondering if this is what he was doing when he went up the hill and disappeared? Could he have fallen?

According to his wife, this is the slope. She says she's not sure, but that cactus is probably 25 feet tall for scale. Tho, if he fell there, that would be a very short search.

Sorry, I just saw this post after I shared the above images. I hope it isn't another breach on my part. I'm willing to repost After being verified if removed to answer PommyMommy.

Thank you. I'm trying to find that location on a map. Can you drop a pin for me on this link? Google Maps
