READ: Jacksonville police looking for missing mother of five, family fears she's in danger
JSO posted on social media Tuesday that they're looking for Kayla Bailey.
'Missing Woman: Have you seen Kayla Bailey,' the JSO post states. 'At this time we believe Kayla Bailey may be in danger, and we are asking for your help to determine if she is safe,' a portion of the post states.
Couple had recent domestic issues
A recent Jacksonville Sheriff's Office incident report states that Kayla Bailey and her husband were having issues. Their daughter told officers that Bailey left the home and took her children to her mother's place for several weeks but returned home last week.
When the family reported her missing this week, the officer noted in the report that he believes she left on her own free will.
Bailey's family said they believe Kayla Bailey is in danger.
'She has never run off alone and for this long,' Jola Bailey, Kayla's daughter, told Action News Jax. 'She is really weak, and she is not really doing that well.'
Joshua Bailey is scheduled to make his first appearance in Duval County Circuit Court at 1 p.m. Wednesday.
'The search for Kayla is ever evolving and we continue to learn more as investigators delve into the circumstances surrounding her disappearance,' a JSO news release stated Wednesday morning. 'As new information becomes available, we will disseminate it to the community.'
Anyone who knows Bailey's whereabouts is urged to call JSO at 904-630-0500.

Frank Caprio: 'Nicest judge in the world' dies after cancer diagnosis
A US judge who amassed a huge online fan base via clips of his compassion in the courtroom has died. Frank Caprio was on the bench at a court in Providence, Rhode Island, for almost four decades. He became affectionately known as the "nicest judge in the world", NBC Boston reported, after viral videos of him handing out justice with a smile were viewed more than a billion times on social media. The latter years of his career, which ended in 2023, were documented in the TV show Caught In Providence. A statement on Wednesday on his Instagram page, which had 3.2 million followers, said he had died aged 88 "after a long and courageous battle with pancreatic cancer". It said he was "beloved for his compassion, humility, and unwavering belief in the goodness of people". He had posted a message from his hospital bed the day before, saying: "Unfortunately I've had a setback, I'm back in the hospital now, and I'm coming to you again asking you to remember me in your prayers once more." Caprio's persona was at odds with my fellow TV judges, who were less sympathetic and more confrontational. In one popular clip, he dismissed a traffic ticket handed to a bartender who skipped a red light, as they were only earning less than $4 (£2.97) an hour. Another saw him listening sympathetically to a woman whose son had been killed, before dismissing her tickets and fines which had totalled $400 (£297). Read more from Sky News: Caprio also used his fame to speak out about inequality in the justice system. "Almost 90% of low-income Americans are forced to battle civil issues like health care, unjust evictions, veterans benefits and, yes, even traffic violations, alone," he said in one video. After his death was announced, Rhode Island Governor Dan McKee paid tribute to his "warmth and compassion". "He was more than a jurist - he was a symbol of empathy on the bench, showing us what is possible when justice is tempered with humanity," he said.

What to Know About the Charges and Investigations Surrounding Eric Adams
The corruption charges expected to be announced against several associates and supporters of the New York City mayor, Eric Adams, this week are the latest in a multitude of scandals plaguing his administration as he mounts a long-shot bid for re-election. Mr. Adams is not expected to be charged, but four people with knowledge of the matter said that a number of his close allies would be: his former chief adviser and close friend, Ingrid Lewis-Martin, and her son, Glenn Martin II; Jesse Hamilton, a former state senator and friend of the mayor's; and two influential supporters, Gina and Tony Argento. The charges are part of a swirl of criminal cases, corruption investigations and allegations of misconduct that have tarnished the mayoralty of Mr. Adams, a Democrat who took office in 2022 and is running as an independent in November. These legal troubles, including federal corruption charges against the mayor himself that were later abandoned by the Trump Justice Department, caused chaos in the city government, tanked the mayor's approval ratings and alienated many Democrats. In the mayoral race, Mr. Adams is polling around the single digits, lagging behind Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee; former Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, who is also running as an independent; and Curtis Sliwa, the Republican candidate. Here is a guide to the legal and political quagmires involving the mayor and his associates. The mayor's criminal indictment Mr. Adams became the first sitting mayor in the modern history of New York City to face criminal charges when he was accused last fall of abusing his office to obtain free and discounted travel and illegal foreign campaign contributions. Federal prosecutors charged him in a five-count indictment with conspiracy, wire fraud, bribery and soliciting illegal campaign contributions from foreign nationals. Prosecutors said the illegal activity dated to 2014, when Mr. Adams became Brooklyn borough president. They said the scheme centered on currying favor with Turkish officials and businesspeople while accepting at least $123,000 in flight upgrades and airline tickets. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
