In November of 1985, rice farmers harvesting crops just north of the Texas small town of Katy found the smoldering remains of a car in one of the fields. Inside the vehicle, Harris County Sheriff’s Deputies found a badly charred and disfigured body. Later that day, it was discovered that the burnt car belonged to millionaire Houston oilman Ed Baker. As the investigation progressed, the murky waters only muddied further. To this day, precisely what happened to Ed Baker remains a mystery.

Part 1 of 2.
