Crime Solvers Seeks Information on Cold Case Homicide

            Fairfax County Crime Solvers is still seeking the public’s assistance identifying the person responsible for a homicide that occurred 21 years ago. About 9:00 p.m. on Wednesday, March 29, 1989, 18-year-old Amy Baker was driving southbound on Interstate 95 near Backlick Road when her car experienced difficulties. Amy abandoned her blue 1970 Volkswagon Bug and walked up the exit ramp onto Backlick Road, toward the Exxon gas station. Detectives believe that her attacker confronted her on Backlick Road and forced her into the woods near the top of the exit ramp, where she was sexually assaulted and strangled.  Her body, which was found two days later, was partially buried in some leaves. 

            Detectives continue to investigate her death and would like to speak with anyone who may have been in the area at the time of the attack, or who may have knowledge of the incident.

            In addition to the $1,000 cash reward offered by Crime Solvers, a $26,000 private reward is also being offered for information which leads to an arrest and indictment in this case. Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Solvers by phone at 1-866-411-TIPS(8477), e-mail at www.fairfaxcrimesolvers.org or text “TIP187” plus your message to CRIMES(274637). As always, callers never have to give their names or appear in court.
