Local Man Charged With Murder Of Missing Girlfriend

Nearly three years after she disappeared, the boyfriend of a missing woman will go on trial for her death.

Investigators said they believe that Harold Baker, 55, killed Shelly Turner in September of 2006. They said Turner, 38, was last seen outside Shag's Tavern on Smithville Road.

Although her body has never been found, police said they are convinced that Turner is dead.

Prosecutors said it has been over two decades since Montgomery County has indicted someone on murder charges without a body.

Right now, police and prosecutors are not saying what evidence they will present against Barker at trial.
