Bailey Murder Probe Deepens at Breakheart Hill Farm
At Breakheart Hill in Lynn Massachusetts State Officers Neal and Hammond completed a final farm search for Geo E Bailey’s killer but found no new evidence. They identified the last known contact with Bailey as Charles Deery on the night of October 8 when Bailey visited Deery’s dairy. Deery recalled Bailey wearing an overcoat during a rainy meeting, and the coat was later found in Bailey’s room, with no bloodstains. The investigation hinges on Harvard professor Wood's blood analysis and Neal’s theory that Bailey was killed near the farm after returning home.
