Authorities have made a significant breakthrough in a decades-old cold case involving the tragic death of Tara Louise Baker, a University of Georgia law student. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) and Athens-Clarke County police recently announced the arrest of Edrick Lamont Faust, 48, in connection with Baker's murder.
The case dates back to January 2001 when firefighters responding to a fire at Baker's apartment in Athens discovered her lifeless body. Subsequent investigations revealed that Baker had been intentionally killed, and the fire was set deliberately. Law enforcement had been tirelessly working to solve the case since then.
