Baltimore County Police arrested a 62-year-old woman on Thursday in connection with the death of her stepmother.
Police said Teresa Bailey was charged with first-degree murder, first-degree assault and second- degree assault. She was being held on a no bail status pending a bail review at the Baltimore County Detention Center.
Bailey’s stepmother, Evelyn Murray-Bailey, 96, was found in her Lochearn home on March 4 suffering from sharp force trauma to her upper body. The elder Bailey was pronounced dead at the scene.
“Detectives determined that Bailey went to the home on Fox Meadow Road early that morning after the night shift caregiver left,” Police said. “Detectives have not determined a motive for the crime.”
