Shannon Dedrick has been found. But now Shannon Dedrick’s cas is being compared to that of Paul Leonard Baker with questions of Susan Baker swirling.

Paul Leonard Baker’s disappearance has remained a cold case since 1987. That could now change. On March 5, 1987, Paul went missing while napping inside his family’s Beaufort, SC home. The woman who reported him missing was Susan Baker.Paul Leonard was 3 years old at the time. His parents James Baker and Lynda Solorzano separated years before. Paul would be awarded full custody and marry Susan thereafter.

A full manhunt for Paul Leonard never turned up clues. In 2000, Susan Baker would be questioned in Paul Leonard’s 1987 case. But Susan Baker would never be indicted.

Now Shannon Dedrick has been found, five days after she went missing. And Susan Baker’s name is coming up again. Dedrick’s father James Russell Dedrick Jr is related to Baker, claims Washington County Sheriff Bobby Haddock to AP Thursday. Baker has not been charged.
