  • 3 - The Classmates

    On Friday, October 31, 1969, schoolmates Pamela Sue Hobley (15) and Patricia Spencer (16) were reported missing from Oscoda, Michigan. They left the high school campus early that day, skipping school and hitchhiking into town. They were picked up on River Rd by a classmate, dropped off downtown, and what happened after that is mostly speculation.

    If you have information about disappearances of Pamela Hobley and Patricia Spencer, please call Det. Sgt. John Richards with the Michigan State Police Special Investigation Section at 989-402-7190, or the West Branch MSP post at 989-345-0956. You can also call the Oscoda Police Department at (989) 739-9113.

  • 3 - Who Killed Dennis Baker?

    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.
