Edith Baker Missing Person Case

Edith Verline Baker, a 79-year-old woman, was last seen on August 26, 2001, at the KQ Ranch Resort near State Route 79, south of Julian, California. Baker, who was known to take morning walks before her family awoke, left for a hike around 6:00 a.m. that day. She was not carrying adequate supplies such as water or protective clothing, and the area’s daytime temperatures reached 90 degrees, with lows in the 60s at night.

When Baker did not return by 10:00 a.m., her daughter reported her missing, prompting an extensive five-day search by authorities. Despite the search efforts, the only trace found of her was a single footprint near the camp. Investigators believe Baker became lost or disoriented, but no further clues about her whereabouts have been uncovered.

Baker was described as 5'2", weighing between 135 and 155 pounds, with white hair and brown eyes. She had surgical scars on her abdomen and wore eyeglasses. She was last seen wearing a light blue fleece shirt, white or tan pants, and white Keds sneakers. Her case remains unsolved, and authorities continue to encourage anyone with information to come forward.
