Lisa Adele Martin Bailey, 58, was found dead at her Crawford Drive home in Bath, Maine, on Sunday morning, October 6, 2024, after officers responded shortly before 7:00 AM to reports of gunfire. Police discovered Lisa and her 32-year-old daughter, Jennifer Bailey, both suffering from gunshot wounds; despite immediate life-saving efforts by Bath and Brunswick police and Sagadahoc County deputies, both were pronounced dead at the scene.

Authorities identified Lisa’s 66-year-old husband, Michael Bailey, as the suspect. Initial reports said he fled and a shelter-in-place was issued; investigators later located him inside the residence and he was found dead of an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound. Police said the household had a history of domestic abuse and that Lisa had recently filed for divorce; officers had been called to the home twice on one day in September for an assault with a knife and a family fight. The incident is being treated as a murder-suicide.

Friends and neighbors described Lisa and her daughter as generous and community-minded; a small memorial of flowers was left on the family’s front lawn. If anyone knew Lisa or Jennie or has information about the events leading up to October 6, please come forward.
