Freedom denied
murder suspect
United Press International
AMARILLO — A district judge
Wednesday denied a writ of habeas
corpus and a request to be freed from
jail by a man whose wife’s clothed,
dismembered body was found scat
tered throughout the city.
Although no charges have been
filed against Floyd Monroe Baker,
38, authorities have held him in the
Potter County Jail for investigation
of murder.
An attorney for Baker requested
Wednesday’s writ of habeas corpus
hearing before 251st District Judge
Naomi Harney to determine
whether authorities should be forced
to release the suspect.
Parts of a body, tentatively identi
fied as Linda Sue Baker, 33, were
found Monday near an auto parts
store.
An attendant at the wrecking yard
was waiting on a man when the cus
tomer’s son saw a dog dragging a se
vered, recognizable head into the
driveway, authorities said. The
attendant forced the dog to drop the
head and called deputies.
A sheriff’s department identifica
tion technician said the skull had
been crushed.
Justice of the Peace Roy Byrd said
he was sure the woman was Linda
Baker because the head was well-
preserved, and a picture of Mrs.
Baker taken before she left her home
showed “it was evident it was Linda
Baker. ”
Potter County Sheriff’T.L. Baker
said additional tests on the body are
necessary, however, before a posi
tive identification can be made.
Parts of a woman’s body, including
two forearms and the lower torso and
legs, were found later in separate
locations by deputies and police,
