Double murder, suicide in Noble County

A young boy, his mother and father were all discovered early this morning at their home on Hunters Cut Road in Noble County after the father, Theodore A. Bayly, 39, called saying he had killed his family and was going to kill himself.

Noble County Sheriff Landon Smith said Bayly called his office just before 2 a.m. saying he had killed his wife, Janice, 40, and their son, Colton, 11 and told dispatchers where to find the bodies.

Smith said the dispatcher attempted to talk to Bayly for seven minutes, but Bayly went ahead and shot himself on an embankment near the family’s mobile home.
