Frieda Bayliff, 33, was killed on December 25, 1985, in Wichita, Kansas. Authorities linked her death to Martin Dean Priest, a convicted murderer who was suspected of multiple homicides and described in the file as a potential serial killer.

Priest was arrested on March 30, 1985, in Fort Scott, Kansas, in connection with the murders of Bayliff and William Mayhugh. He faced charges of first-degree murder in 1984, but the prosecution encountered significant legal setbacks: one mistrial was declared by Judge Paul Buchanan after improper remarks by the prosecutor in closing arguments, and another mistrial occurred when a juror had to be excused, leaving only 11 jurors.

Courtroom complications delayed resolution, and Bayliff’s family and the Wichita community continued to await closure. Does anyone have information about Frieda’s last known activities or contacts in Wichita?
