“I’m confident that everything that I just read off to you will be presented at trial,” Marino said, giving a quick run down of the charges facing Bailey, Muhammed Davis, Sandy Perez and Randall Johnson.

The four were arrested Monday morning in connection with the Jan. 12 killings of Dailey and Seese.

“I’m not releasing any evidence that we’ve gleaned from one person or another or that we found by investigation because we have to go through a preliminary hearing,” Marino clarified while taking questions. “We can’t afford any leaks out there. We cannot afford to take one wrong step.”

Asked about a motive for allegedly killing Dailey that was less specific in court documents than the shooting of Seese, Marino said he is “not at liberty at this point to discuss the evidence.”

When pressed on whether Dailey was “in the wrong place at the wrong time,” Marino said, “I’m not certain of that yet.”

“But I do want to emphasize the fact that the fourth person, Randall Johnson, was a major part of this.”

Johnson, who is charged with providing Seese’s work schedule to Bailey, was the only suspect arrested Monday to be released on bail, a decision a family member voiced displeasure with at the press conference.

“I don’t agree with that at all,” the family member in attendance said, while Marino assured them that “we’re keeping a very close eye on him.”

Leaving the possibility for additional charges to be filed against those arrested, Marino added, “I have all the confidence that, at this point, there’s no one else out there” who may be charged in the case.

Marino also stated his worry that there were multiple targets who were at risk of harm, adding that the Feb. 29 ruling by President Judge Nancy Butts making Bailey eligible for bail played a role in the decision to move forward with the arrests.

“Yes, it certainly played a role,” he said. “She has the experience of being a good prosecutor, but also a good judge and follows law. That’s where I expected it to go and I’m not surprised at all.”

“Every person that you see standing up here had a major role in breaking this case,” Marino said, as he stood with a long line of investigators, and city and county officials.

“First and foremost, I want to extend my condolences to the family, friends and loved ones,” Mayor Derek Slaughter said, adding, “I want to commend our Williamsport police for working diligently day and night, putting this case together to bring these four individuals who are responsible for this heinous crime to justice.”

“We’re pleased to be able to finally notify the families and make these arrests and get these people off the street,” Williamsport Police Captain Josh Bell said, highlighting the work done by all involved, including the initial patrol officers all the way up to the local FBI office.

“My heart goes out to the families and the friends of the people who are involved and my heart really goes out to law enforcement,” said Lycoming County Commissioner Mark Mussina.

“This job cannot be fun — as necessary as it is for society, as thankful as we are that they do the job that most of us can’t do — there can’t be any part of it that’s fun. Even when you come to a successful conclusion, it’s still at the end of a heartbreak,” Mussina said.

“Ron was a really good guy,” said Lycoming County Sherrif Mark Lusk, offering condolences to both families, relating that Dailey had helped perform landscaping and other work around his house for 10 years.

“I promise you with every fiber in my body, I will do whatever I can to make sure the double homicide perpetrators are prosecuted and convicted,” Marino said at the conference’s closing.
