Police went to a Bath home multiple times before a man allegedly killed his wife and daughter there.
Michael Bailey, 66, allegedly killed his wife, 58-year-old Lisa Bailey, and their daughter, 32-year-old Jennifer Bailey, just before 7 a.m. Sunday, according to Shannon Moss, a spokesperson for the Maine Department of Public Safety.

Police had made multiple visits to the Crawford Drive home in the days before the killings. On Sept. 24, officers went to the home at 8:33 a.m. for a reported assault involving a knife and at 1:39 p.m. for a family fight, according to a police log for the day.
Then on Friday, just two days before the killings, officers went to the Crawford Drive home at 6:37 a.m. for another family fight and at 8:49 a.m. for an animal problem, a Bath police log showed.
No arrests were made or summonses issued after any of those visits, records show.
A friend of Jennifer Bailey, Rachel McCray, told ABC affiliate WMTW that Lisa and Michael Bailey were still married at the time of the killings, but that Michael may have begun living somewhere else.
The deaths remain under investigation.
