Authorities in Franklin County, Kansas are investigating the deaths of three people whose bodies were found on a farm near Ottawa Monday. Two persons of interest are being questioned.

The bodies of two adult men and one woman were found Monday on the farm west of Ottawa, which is located about 60 miles southwest of Kansas City.

The deaths are being investigated as homicides.

Sheriff Jeff Richards declined to release other details , including the victims’ identities or how they were killed.

Friends of a resident of the farm said they went to the farm Sunday and called police after smelling a foul odor. They said police looked over the home and area and attributed the bad smell to garbage.

Police returned to the farm Monday and found the bodies.

Olathe police are waiting to learn whether one of the three bodies is that of a young mother reported missing along with her daughter. Sgt. Brad Caldwell said Tuesday that 21-year-old Kaylie Bailey and her 1 ½-year-old daughter, Lana Bailey, were last seen Wednesday. They were reported missing Friday.

Caldwell says Olathe police have sent detectives to the Franklin County crime scene because of the open missing person case.

Caldwell says the case of the missing girl doesn’t meet the criteria for an Amber Alert.
