On Thursday, March 14, at approximately 5:45 a.m., Jefferson Baker was last seen by his wife leaving his residence near Broadway and Meridian roads in Apache Junction for work at a trucking company, possibly near 45th Avenue and Lower Buckeye Road in Phoenix. Baker never returned home. MCSO stated that Baker frequents local gambling establishments.
