Nebraska Ham Couple Killed at Home: Carolyn, N0LAL, and Steven Baily,
N0US, were found dead in their home -- located in a rural area just
north of Lincoln, Nebraska -- on Sunday, August 9
believe the deaths occurred after a string of home invasions; a suspect,
Brandon Crago, is in custody on suspicion of murder. In a court
appearance on August 14, a judge set Crago's bail at $5 million for
robbery, use of a weapon to commit a felony and being a felon in
possession of a firearm; murder charges are pending
to the "Omaha World-Herald," authorities believe Crago, a man with a
history of drug abuse, acted alone. The Bailys, who helped found the
Ashland Amateur Radio Club (AARC), served as storm spotters and helped
out with club events; Steven maintained the club's repeater. Neighbor
Linda Graham, KC0IOQ, told the ARRL, "We're going to be lost without
Steve. He was our repeater guy. He had just bought a new power supply
and ammeter for the repeater." The Bailys have two daughters, Jennifer
and Heather, KL2AK. A memorial service is still being planned.
