Police Suspect Murder/Suicide In Deaths Of Mother & Son

"CRYSTAL SPRINGS, MS — Police believe Jason Bailey killed his mother.

"Authorities found Bailey's body inside a home on Lee Avenue on Saturday. They say his body was badly decomposed and was on the couch. They believe he had been dead for almost a week. On Tuesday, police found the body his mother, Judy Greer, 62, in a shallow grave behind the home. Authorities say both mother and son lived in that home. They believe Greer had been dead for no more than three weeks.

"Detective Chris Palmer says the pair had a history of domestic abuse. He says police have been called out to the home at least four times in the past year. Palmer says Greer never followed through on the complaints and always ended up dropping the domestic violence charges against his mother. Since 1996, Bailey has been in and out of jail on burglary and drug possession convictions. He was last released in December 2006.

"Authorities say they are waiting for autopsy reports for an official cause of death. They say there was no trauma to any of the bodies. They are now waiting for toxicology reports which they hope to have within the next week."
