Lisa Bailey, 58, and her daughter Jennifer Bailey, 32, were fatally murdered Sunday morning. The suspect is Michael Bailey, 66, Lisa’s husband and Jennifer’s father.
Following initial reports that the perpetrator had fled the scene, the Maine State Police Tactical Team discovered Michael Bailey dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound inside the home.
