After revealing that weapons had been stored at a friend's garage, Bailey told dispatch that he was armed with a Springfield 9mm firearm that had belonged to one of the victims, and "he had forgotten about it" until Friday, the affidavit said. Officers found two deceased dogs at the base of a staircase upon entering the front door of the home.
The affidavit goes on to say that officers found spent cartridge casings located near each of the victims and deceased animals. It also reveals that a black handgun with the slide locked to the rear and magazine removed, opened box of handgun ammunition with missing cartridges, along with two cell phones, were found on the kitchen table."During a search of Bailey's truck, a receipt was located which shows a purchase of a box of ammunition," the affidavit said.
"We've been given some information that they may have been planning to stay the summer here at this house," Lyman said. "They usually have an RV that they travel in, but that's been put in long-term storage. And we think that that may have been the plan." Furthermore, investigators were able to contact the friend who had taken possession of Bailey's firearms and confirmed that he was given the firearms "on or around" Wednesday, according to the affidavit.On Anastasia Stevens' Facebook page, a message was posted at 9:43 a.m. — two minutes before Layton police were called — stating, "MASSACRE SUICIDE Jeremy Bailey JUST KILLED EVERYONE Becky Stevens Don Stevens AND 3 OF THE 4 DOGS 1832 EAST GENTILE STREET LAYTON.
