he stole credit cards and cash.
On the night of Sept. 30, 1994, he broke
into the home of Baker as the Aggie junior
slept. She awoke, was bound with duct tape,
then was fatally shot in the head.
“How do you explain it?” said Bill Turner,
the Brazos County district attorney who pros
ecuted Shamburger. “It’s real frightening.
“He does look like the boy next door. He
does look like the guy you might trust, but
there was more to him than that.”
“I don’t know why you do the things you
do,” Shamburger said recently from death
row. “One thing leads to another... You lose
touch with reality. You've chosen to do
things that are wrong.
“There was an adrenaline rush to it —
the satisfaction of not being caught.”
Baker’s roommate, 20-year-old Victoria
Kohler, returning home, heard noises from
Baker’s room and walked in that direction
when she was confronted by Shamburger.
He abducted Kohler and stuffed her in the
trunk of her car, driving her around town
before leaving her in the vehicle not far
from home.
Then he returned to the murder scene,
retrieved a can of gasoline from his own car
parked outside, cut some of Baker’s hair
from around her fatal head injury and used a
knife to poke at the wound in an unsuccess
ful search for the bullet. He poured gasoline
in the room and over her body and set it
ablaze only to discover the keys to his car
were inside the burning room.
They had fallen from his shirt pocket.
Baker’s brother, who lived next door, heard
the explosion and tried to break windows to
get his sister out. Shamburger was in the back
yard by then, walking in circles, holding his
pistol and repeating: “She’s dead."
Kohler in the meantime had climbed
from the trunk of her car, went to a nearby
house and had the people there call 911.
Shamburger fled, called a friend, a min
ister at his church, met him and told him
about the killing. They both went to the
police station where Shamburger turned
himself in to authorities.
“In this case, he breaks in with tape, a gun.

for the death penalty although Shamburger had
