Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP150101)
Jerry Dean Baker, a 62-year-old male from Washington, was reported missing after his last known contact on February 25, 2025, in the Anacortes area of Skagit County, Washington. Official NamUs records identify the case as Missing Person / NamUs #MP150101 and list Jerry Dean Baker as missing from Anacortes, with the date of last contact recorded as February 25, 2025.
Public missing-person reporting also describes Jerry as a 62-year-old white male last seen near Deception Pass Bridge in Anacortes, Washington. The setting of the case is especially stark: Deception Pass Bridge is a prominent and heavily traveled landmark connecting areas of Island and Skagit counties, surrounded by water, cliffs, forested shoreline, and often-changing weather. Against that backdrop, Jerry’s disappearance began not with a long trail of public clues, but with a small number of deeply concerning facts that left his loved ones and investigators searching for answers.
According to the case information available through public missing-person sources, Jerry was connected to the Deception Pass Bridge area shortly after the recorded date of last contact. The circumstances reported for the case state that Jerry was seen on Deception Pass Bridge on February 27, 2025, and that his vehicle was later located at the bridge. After that point, he was not seen or heard from again. Public listings summarize the same essential concern: Jerry’s vehicle was found at the bridge, but Jerry himself was not located. The discovery of a vehicle without its owner is the kind of development that quickly turns a missing-person report into an urgent and emotionally painful search, because it fixes a last known location while leaving the most important question unanswered: where Jerry went after arriving there.
Jerry was described in public case data as a white / Caucasian male with blond or strawberry-colored hair and hazel eyes. His listed height was approximately 5 feet 10 inches to 5 feet 11 inches, and his weight was listed between about 180 and 190 pounds. The identifying details in the case information also note scars or marks on his left wrist and forehead, features that could help someone recognize him or help authorities confirm information if he were located. No public clothing description was included in the available case details, and no public transportation details beyond the vehicle found at Deception Pass Bridge were listed. The absence of a clothing description or detailed timeline in the public record makes the case more difficult to understand from the outside, because the publicly known facts narrow the focus to the bridge, the vehicle, and the fact that Jerry’s normal contact with others stopped.
The Skagit County Sheriff’s Office is listed as the investigating agency for Jerry’s case, with the agency case number identified in the public case information as 25-02324. The agency date reported is listed as February 27, 2025, the same date associated with the reported sighting at Deception Pass Bridge and the discovery of his vehicle. That timing suggests the concern for Jerry’s safety escalated quickly once the bridge location became central to the case. NamUs, the national clearinghouse where Jerry’s case is publicly listed, exists to help law enforcement, medical examiners, coroners, and families share and compare missing-person and unidentified-person information across jurisdictions. In Jerry’s case, that public listing preserves the core facts needed for recognition and investigative continuity: his name, age, sex, physical description, last known area, and the agency responsible for the investigation.
There is no public resolution status in the provided case information indicating that Jerry has been found alive or deceased, and the available online sources reviewed do not provide a definitive account of what happened after his vehicle was found. The case therefore remains, in the public narrative, a quiet and troubling disappearance centered on Anacortes and Deception Pass Bridge: Jerry Dean Baker, 62, was last recorded as having contact on February 25, 2025; he was later reported seen at the Deception Pass Bridge area on February 27; his vehicle was found there; and after that, he was not seen or heard from again. The overview of the case is that Jerry’s disappearance is defined by a brief official timeline, a specific last known location, a vehicle left behind at a well-known bridge, and the continued need for answers about where he went and what happened to him.Last Seen: Feb 25, 2025
