Travis’ family has distributed and posted hundreds of fliers, and they have started a MySpace page in the hope that it might result in a tip from someone who is too afraid to contact the police. That profile reads in part:
Hi, my name is Travis Lee Baker. I am an endangered missing person. I was 19 years old before I disappeared but have since had a birthday on July 10, 2007, so now I'm 20 years old. I am a great athlete; I played football my whole life and received so many trophies that you can't count them all. I graduated from Bunker Hill High and went to work with my mom at MDI. I've never missed even ONE day of work and am a homebody. I like to fish, hunt and do anything outdoors with my dad … My car, personal belongings, cell phone, wallet, etc., have not been seen since April 16, 2007.
Travis’ aunt Tonya also keeps a flier taped to the front of her purse as she carries it around town, vowing not to remove it until he is found. His family members, as they go about their daily business, are constantly on the lookout for any signs of Travis’s missing red Camaro.
In the meantime, the family continues to hope, worry and wait.
Travis is described as 6 feet tall, 160 pounds, with short brown hair and blue eyes. He has four tattoos: red and black tribal bands on his left and right upper arms, the name "Haley" on his chest, and his last name "BAKER" in capital Old English letters on his back.
