Johnny Baker, a 66-year-old Tulsa-area landlord, disappeared on November 19, 2010, after a day spent tending rental properties and collecting payments. He was known to carry substantial amounts of cash and frequented the Hard Rock Casino for high-stakes poker. That evening his locked pickup was found parked westbound along I-244 near Memorial with no sign of a struggle, and his daughter reported him missing that same day.

On January 26, 2011, two men searching for scrap metal near the south side of Keystone Dam in a wooded area off Old Highway 51 discovered a partially decomposed body. Dental comparison identified the John Doe as Johnny Baker.

Investigators interviewed family, friends, and people connected to Baker’s rental business, but no arrest has been announced and no publicly named suspects exist. Some advocates have noted that tenant Gregory Epperson rented from Baker around the time of his disappearance and was later arrested in an unrelated homicide in 2017, but authorities have not established a link between Epperson and Baker’s death. Anyone with information about Baker’s movements on November 19, 2010, or the pickup on I-244 is asked to come forward.
