PHILADELPHIA, PA – In a tragic turn of events, a young boy’s body is still missing after his mother and her boyfriend were charged in his murder. Dominique Bailey, 28, and Kevin Spencer, 30, face a slew of charges, including murder, endangering the welfare of a child, and abuse of a corpse. The investigation initiated after reports that 4-year-old Damari Carter was missing in West Philadelphia on Dec. 30, 2023. Bailey initially claimed her son had been struck and killed by a car, but no evidence supported her claim.
Authorities questioned Bailey on Jan. 4, leading to her admission of involvement in her son’s death. Spencer, who is reported to be Bailey’s boyfriend, was arrested the same day during a search of their home. Despite charges against them, the boy’s body has not been found.
The child’s father, Darryle Carter, expressed his distress, revealing that he had not been in contact with his son, Damari, since his birthday in November 2023. Carter, currently residing in Texas, expressed financial constraints hindering his ability to rush to Philadelphia.
Meanwhile, the family remains in turmoil, anxiously awaiting closure as they fear Damari may have been subjected to abuse before his tragic end. In the midst of this heartbreaking ordeal, authorities urge anyone with information on the whereabouts of Damari Carter’s body to come forward.
In a somber plea for assistance, the family of Damari Carter remains on high alert, continuously seeking solace until they can finally put him to rest. If you have any information on the whereabouts of Damari Carter’s body, please call Philadelphia police.
