Edrick Lamont Faust, 48, was charged with murder, and various other charges in connection with the 23-year-old first-year law student's death, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation announced.

More than two decades after University of Georgia student Tara Baker was murdered, authorities announced they arrested a suspect. Edrick Lamont Faust, 48, was charged with murder and faces various other charges in connection with the 23-year-old first-year law student's death, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation announced. 'Tara Louise Baker was a hardworking student with a bright future ahead of her,' GBI Director Chris Hosey said Thursday in a news release.

Investigators spent the next 23 years working to prove these suspicions in collaboration with the FBI, Athens-Clarke County Police Department and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, to crack the cold case.But it was only after the Georgia Bureau of Investigation Cold Case Unit reviewed Baker's case in September 2023 — after the Coleman-Baker Act was signed into law — that authorities were able to bring together enough evidence to make the arrest.
