Introducing: Missing Erica Baker

Growing up, there are stories that stick with you forever. If you grew up in Dayton, Ohio, a mid-sized city nestled between Columbus and Cincinnati, that story was probably the disappearance of Erica Baker. On February 7, 1999, Erica Baker put on her raincoat, leashed up her dog, and started to walk through a park. The 9-year-old was never seen again.

Twenty-three years later, her investigation still haunts the community. That’s why Dayton 24/7 Now is bringing listeners the most in-depth journalistic investigation to date on the Erica Baker Case. The Missing Erica Baker podcast launches on June 22, 2022, bringing you exclusive interviews and never-before-seen footage – hoping that maybe, just maybe, what we’ve found could bring her home.
