Additional charges were filed Wednesday against the man accused of killing a rural Lincoln couple last week.

Steven and Carolyn Baily were found shot to death in their Lancaster County home on August 10th. Their funerals were held on Tuesday.

Ten new charges were brought against Brandon Crago including first-degree murder, robbery, theft and weapons charges. His bond was set at $5 million.

Investigators don't believe Crago knew the Bailys and targeted them at random as part of a crime spree that included two vehicle thefts.

According to court records, Crago, who was wearing a blond wig and carrying a sawed-off shotgun, allegedly told a Lincoln man as he robbed him that he "already had killed two people."

Scum, scum scum. This is what drugs and mental illness can combine to produce. I have no use for either.

ANON and Bill - you are sick. The accused hasn't even had his trial yet and you're already executing him. This is America, not Nazi Germany. If you don't believe in our country's Constitutional rights, you should ship out - we don't need that kind of attitude here.

This low life deserves the electric chair. Ernie Chambers and James Martin Davis stay out of this. This was cold blooded murder. He needs to be electrocuted today!

Fry him like a chicken leg...Watch him go up in smoke from using the wrong oil. That's what he needs. Actually, lets let the family of the two he murdered turn the burners on and add the oil. I know it sounds sick but thats is what he needs...to be fried like a chicken...a rotten one at that. What a dirt bag. God bless the families durning this hard time.
