Update - may 13, 2024 more than two decades after authorities discovered a university of georgia law student’s body at her apartment, where they say a fire was set intentionally, a man has been arrested and charged in connection with the cold case. Tara louise baker was found dead in her athens, georgia, home by athens-clarke county firefighters on january 19, 2001, a day before her 24th birthday, according to a news release from the georgia bureau of investigation. On thursday, state and county investigators said edrick lamont faust, 48, was arrested and faced several charges in connection with baker’s death, including felony murder, aggravated assault, arson and aggravated sodomy, the news release says. Faust, a resident of athens, remains in jail on a $15,000 bond, according to clarke county sheriff’s office jail records. Cnn could not determine whether faust has an attorney. On january 19, 2001, around 11:20 a.M., the body of tara louise baker was found by athens-clarke county firefighters responding to a fire at her apartment located at 160 fawn drive, athens. Subsequent investigation has determined that the fire was intentionally set and the manner of death is homicide. Tara was a first-year law school student at the university of georgia (uga). Tara, 23, was last seen alive by a friend around 7:30 p.M. On january 18 at the uga law school library. The same friend received a call at 9:46 p.M. From tara, who was still at the library. Tara phoned to make sure her friend arrived home safely and said she planned to leave the library around 10 p.M. Tara was born on january 20, 1977 in east point, georgia. She graduated love joy high school in 1995 and enrolled at georgia college in milledgeville. She graduated cum laude in 1998 with two bachelor's degrees.
