Tulsa Gears Up for Big Search for Cori Saturday Feb. 23

Community rallies around Baker family after plea for help as still more volunteers are needed.

Tulsa, OK February 21, 2008. After the Baker family held a news conference today to ask for volunteer and police help in the search for 13 year-old Cori Baker, the Tulsa community now rallies around the family.

Because bad weather halted the search efforts today, the Baker family took the time to thank the community and to send out a plea for additional help for the resumed search planned for Saturday morning after the weather clears.

Local blogs indicate that several community members plan to come out to the search site on their own on Friday, rain or shine, feeling so much for the family and what they are going through. The Tulsa community is showing so much support for this family, the Bakers hope that the warm sentiment turns into able bodies on Saturday.

The Saturday search will begin at 8AM at the Unity Church of Christianity at 3355 S. Jamestown in Tulsa. The Bakers are hoping that hundreds will turn up ready to finally find Cori. The family is asking anyone who can to please come out and help bring Cori home. (Click here for location details).

If anyone wants to help out but doesn't know what to do here are some suggestions:

Show up at the search site, ready to help.
Offer you horses or search dogs up for the search.
Donate work clothes or equipment to the search parties.

More Volunteers Needed for Continued Search for Cori Baker in Concentrated Area

A dismal turnout of volunteers slowed search today, but new developments have been made in the search.

Tulsa, OK. February 19, 2008. Cori Baker’s family and psychic Jeff Baker remain confident that the body of the missing 13 year-old will soon be found, but are in need of additional volunteers and equipment after a dismal turnout of volunteers today.

The search will continue Wednesday morning starting at 8 AM the Unity Church of Christianity 3355 S. Jamestown in Tulsa. The family is asking anyone interested in volunteering to please come and help. If you can’t come early in the morning come whenever you can. Anyone who has access to a backhoe or other large digging machinery is also asked to come out. The search will continue as long as weather permits, or until Cori is found. Having enough volunteers is the key to finding Cori quickly.

Despite these setbacks there was a development during the search today. While searching a portion of the area of interest Jeff Baker had a “hit” in one location. When Baker called in the cadaver dog to that same area it also had a hit at that location. This location is a drainage ditch that was muddy and boggy and the cadaver dog was not a trained water-search dog.

Tonight that area is being drained in hopes that tomorrow a more detailed search can be conducted. More cadaver dogs will be employed in the morning to investigate this area again.

Jeff Baker, accompanied by about 25 volunteers, including members of Cori’s family, searched the area identified as the likely location of Cori’s body for several hours today.

Cori’s family was hoping that with all of the media attention that has been attracted to the case recently closer to 100 volunteers would show up today, but that didn’t happen.

Cori’s family is also hopeful that after reviewing the recorded conversations between Baker and Bullock the Tulsa Police will begin to help with the search for Cori. If the police were to join the search effort, with the resources and equipment that they have available, the process would be much easier.

While Baker has been in contact with Cori, and she has told him landmarks around her location, finding her exact location is more difficult than it may seem.

Skeptics have attacked Baker for his volunteer efforts in this case, but the Baker family appreciates his presence and still has faith that that information that Baker has provided to them will help them bring Cori home.

** UPDATE ** 2/16/208

Volunteers Needed to Pursue Break in case

Psychic Jeff Baker has gleaned new information about missing thirteen year-old during stay in Tulsa.

Tulsa, OK. February 15, 2008. Psychic Jeff Baker says that, with enough volunteer help, he is confident he will be able to locate the body of thirteen year-old Cori Baker who disappeared from Tulsa in November last year.

Jeff Baker (no relation to Cori’s family) has been volunteering his time in Tulsa since February 12 and has been able to determine an area of interest in which he feels her body will be found. Volunteers and donations are now needed to conduct a detailed search of the area identified.

The next search will be conducted on Tuesday February 19 beginning 8:00 AM at Unity Church of Christianity at 3355 S. Jamestown in Tulsa, OK. Anyone interested in joining the search effort please meet the family there. The Baker family appreciates all that the community has done and continues to do for them during this difficult time. (Click here for location details).

Having dedicated every waking hour to the search effort for more than three months now has caused the Baker family to be in dire need of funding to continue the search, and volunteers to continue searching. Donations may be made via a paypal on this website or through the Bank of Oklahoma where a special fund has been set up for the search.

Cori’s family has been desperate to determine the whereabouts of her remains since it became clear that foul play was involved in her disappearance. Seeking help from Jeff Baker who has been in Oklahoma working on other missing persons cases, Cori’s father Danny hopes that this latest effort will finally bring her home.

No one has seen or heard from Cori Baker since she went to her 7th grade classes at Union Alternative School on Friday November 9, 2007. She had told friends and teachers that day that her older sister’s boyfriend, Marquis Bullock, was going to pick her up after school to go Christmas shopping. Witnesses told police a male matching Bullock's description did pick Cori up in a red Firebird that Friday afternoon, but she never came home.

Bullock, who is also the father of Cori’s nephew, has since been arrested for her kidnapping and murder. Bullock was supposed to have a preliminary hearing next week, but it was pushed back to March 17 because of a request by prosecutors who need time to process possible DNA evidence. Bullock has remained silent on the whereabouts of Cori Baker and his involvement in her disappearance. Feb 14th 2008

Thank You on behalf of the Baker Family

Pray for her return

On November 9, 2007 our beloved daughter Cori, age 13, was due to come home from school on the bus as she does every day. However, her oldest sister’s boyfriend picked her up at school but didn’t bring her home. She has never been seen since. He is now in jail charged with her murder and has not told anyone where she is. Hundreds of people have helped us search, but we still have been unable to find her, and we are meeting every week to continue our search. We need your help, and there are many ways you can help us.

Search for Missing Teen Continues

Police and family members continue to search for thirteen year-old Cori Baker who disappeared from Tulsa, OK on Friday November 9, 2007 and has not been seen since.

TULSA, OK February 11, 2008 No one has seen or heard from Cori Baker since she went to her 7th grade classes at Union Alternative School on Friday November 9, 2007. She had told friends and teachers that day that her older sister’s boyfriend, Marquis Bullock, was going to pick her up after school to go Christmas shopping. Witnesses told police a male matching Bullock's description did pick Cori up in a red Firebird that Friday afternoon, but she never came home. Bullock, who is also the father of Cori’s nephew, has since been arrested for her kidnapping and murder.

According the news reports, Cori was an avid basketball player with good school attendance. No one in her family believes that she would have run away and they fear that she is dead. However, Cori’s whereabouts remain a mystery and Bullock isn’t talking. Her father and police are still hoping for some answers and still would like anyone who saw Cori or the car she got into to come forward and give any information that they have.

On the day that she disappeared Cori was wearing an orange Hornets hooded sweatshirt with white shorts. Her friend's mother had just done Cori's hair in tight braids all over her head. Cori’s father, Daniel Baker, has also asked nationally known psychic Jeff Baker (no relation), who will be in Woodward, OK on February 7-10, to come and help find Cori. Jeff Baker will be in Oklahoma to help try to find the remains of 6 year-old Logan Tucker, who disappeared nearly 6 years ago, and whose mother is currently serving a life sentence for his murder. Cori’s father contacted Jeff after learning that he would be in Oklahoma and Jeff agreed to come to Tulsa after that and is in Tulsa now. Jeff Baker regularly volunteers his time and abilities to help in missing persons cases like this.

Volunteers are welcomed every search day
