I saw this on Haunting Evidence last night and it was so sad to see her mother...... This was a horrible murder, she was beaten, stabbed then her apartment set on fire. Alot of forensic evidence lost in fire...
It was six years ago on Friday when a 23-year-old UGA law student was murdered in her Athens apartment., which the killer then torched to cover his tracks.
Since that day, Tara Bakers family has waged a non-stop battle to find justice for the young student.
When Lindsay Baker buried his daughter in 2001, the part of the cemetery that she was buried in was all but empty. But now, six years later, Tara Baker is no longer alone. And there is still no justice for the murdered law school student.
Next to the tiny angels who guard the grave, there is a small granite monument chiseled with the scales of justice. A promise etched in stone to the young student who loved the law that one day, the police will catch a break in her case.
In the last year or so, theres been a change of command, said Lindsay Baker. Some new faces brought in, some fresh ideas, and things are starting to move a little bit. Not that theyve solved it yet, but I think theyre doing the right things.
As important as the writing on the front of the headstone, is the empty space on the back. Because this is the unfinished chapter -- the place where the rest of Tara's story will be written -- hopefully, with the arrest of her killer.
There's someone out there that killed my daughter, and someday, definitely in the next life, but hopefully in this life, he's going to have to face it and I just hope I'm still around to see it, said Lindsay.
