2004 Tragedy in Boothbay ( From the Boothbay Register Online, Friday, August 2, 2024, written by Holly Stover, Community Resource Council, Titled: Tragedy in Boothbay Harbor 20 years ago” The Murders of Chelsie Calloway and Sally Murray ):

On Aug. 21, 2004, the coastal town of Boothbay Harbor, Maine, was rocked by a tragedy that left a lasting scar on the community. On an otherwise quiet Saturday morning, Chellie Calloway and Sally Murray were brutally murdered in the presence of Chellie’s young children by their father, John Dilley. Their lives were cut short in a senseless act of violence, and the news of their deaths sent shockwaves through the tight-knit community, leaving residents in a state of grief and disbelief. Dilley was later convicted of the double manslaughter of his estranged wife and mother and is serving a 60-year sentence at Maine State Prison.
