Mount Washington Manor 4.22

In 1912 8 People were Murdered in a small town in Iowa. One of the prime suspects in the Murders, Reverend George Kelly a traveling preacher later confessed and was tried twice for the murders only to be acquitted. After the last trial supposedly he moved to Kansas City, Connecticut, and eventually New York City and then disappeared.
We now know that Kelly changed his identity to George Bailey while in New York, altered his appearance and then returned to the Kansas City to the Mount Washington area and opened the Mount Washington Manor funeral home in order to hide his further crimes. The whereabouts of Kelly's wife after they went to New York is unknown.
