I was a Reserve Deputy for Marion County and was working that night with another Reserve Officer. If I remember correctly Terry Baker lived around Arlington and Thompson Road.
My partner and I were sent to Hooks Drugs in Southport to pick up a sedative for Mrs. Baker.
I have now worked in Law Enforcement for 46 years and have attended way too many Police funerals. May all the fallen Officers rest in peace...and if it is Gods will, may he forgive the idiots who scream "defund the police" for they definitely know not what they do !

I worked with Terry and he was a nice guy. Very very proud of his new son. I sadly helped put him in a body bag. I have never forgotten that night

He was a good kid

Hi I'm Dave York I'm 58 years old I'm not a cop but I remember Deputy Baker
with all this killing of our heroes I think of him often. I was a young man working at a Rogers Standard (Amoco) service station at I 74 & Post rd. in 1981 worked there around 10 years off & on for Gordon. Johnny Collins Shell station was across the street and was the hang out, take a break place for all the Deputy in that Franklin Township, Wanamaker, Acton area they all had there own coffee cup hanging on the wall in the first bay. At that time I was one of those long hair Hippy types I drove a 1975 Mercury Cougar XR7 with a two tone interior dark brown & cream that matched the sheriffs car paint scheme. I saw and got to know about all the Deputies at one time or another they never failed to check on me but at the time Terry drove a Ford LTD 2 and always kidded me & had other Deputy buds going a long with this. To hand-cuff, throw my butt in a squad or hold me in the back room take the XR7 interior put it in his squad (in one of our bays) throw his out on the lot and claim it was a search ! and who would everyone believe ! Cut me loose they all leave ! I'm left to put that ugly reddish burgundy interior in my XR7 so I could drive the dam thing and before the Boss got there and on that midnight shift at that time I believed they just might do it !
Thin I heard what happened to Terry & Deputy Morris at the Bargain-Barrel in Castleton. It was bad he was a real good man and I have never forgot him. Be in peace Deputy Terry Baker

I was a co-worker and friend of Terry's wife, Pam. I will never forget the day this tragedy happened. Terry will always be remembered by so many people whose lives he touched. I have lost touch with Pam and their son, but I hope that they have been able to carry on and think of Terry without pain. Thank you and all of our police officers for their ultimate sacrifice.

You and Deputy Morris we're killed in-the-line of duty 1 month and 16 days before I accepted a badge in Indiana. I will never forget the circumstances surrounding your death and that of Deputy Morris. I met the man responsible for your deaths behind bars. I remember thinking what a coward he was, and really how our system didn't do enough to him for his crimes. It's been 26 years now. There's been many more officers in the Marion County area that like you have lost their lives bravely, and honorably serving the public. It breaks my heart when any of those officer's are lost to us. But I still never forget any of them. It's brave men, and women like you, Deputy Morris and all the others that compelled me to choose this profession. We will "never" forget you sir! Rest well, be at peace.
