3 - Who Killed Dennis Baker?

from Down & Away

On the morning of Christmas Eve, 1985, the body of a white male was discovered on the shoulder of County Road 480, approximately 3 miles east of U.S. 19. The deceased was identified as Dennis Owen Baker, 30, of Crystal River. Detectives determined the last time Baker had been seen alive was on the evening of Dec. 23, 1985, at approximately 8:30 p.m. He was at a friend’s residence in Crystal River and had made plans to visit a local bar. However, prior to going to the bar, Baker went home to change clothes. At the time of his murder, Mr. Baker was operating a rental car — a silver, 1983 Chevy Chevette with an unknown temporary tag. The vehicle has never been found; however detectives received information regarding sightings of this car not long after the murder occurred.
