Donna Baker was 21 when her body was found in a secluded area of San Antonio, Texas, on May 18, 1979. She had been brutally attacked and suffered multiple injuries; early reports and the San Antonio Police Department treated her death as a homicide.

Investigators gathered evidence at the scene and questioned witnesses and those who had last seen Baker to reconstruct her movements in the hours before her death. Progress was hampered by limited evidence and the secluded location, and forensic technology available at the time made it difficult to establish definitive links to suspects. Several leads were pursued but the investigation encountered setbacks.

Baker’s death deeply affected her family, friends, and the wider community and highlighted concerns about violent crime and safety. The homicide remains unsolved and continues to raise questions for investigators and the public. Did anyone who knew Donna or saw her in San Antonio in May 1979 come forward with information?
