Ohio man kills family before suicide

BELLE VALLEY, Ohio -- An Ohio man notified a sheriff's dispatcher that he had money problems and strangled his wife and 11-year-old son early Wednesday before shooting himself, authorities claim.

Theodore Bayly, 39, called the dispatcher around 2 a.m., claiming he had already killed his family and was going to commit suicide, Noble County Sheriff Landon Smith said. Bayly's body was found on an embankment 35 feet from the family's home near Belle Valley.

Smith said Bayly had a shotgun wound to the head. Janice Bayly was found inside the home while Colton Bayly was found in the back seat of a vehicle.
