Police have nabbed a person of interest after a
prominent Pennsylvania psychiatrist was found
dead and naked with a belt wrapped tight around
his neck.
The person of interest was found on a parole
violation, and homicide detectives are waiting to
speak with him, sources told WPVI.
A wanted suspect was seen walking out of Dr.
Howard Baker’s hotel room in Philadelphia at
12:30 a.m. on Monday, with the victim’s
backpack and wallet, Homicide Capt. James Clark
told reporters at a press conference.
A housekeeper found Baker, 75, at 11 a.m. in his
room at the Rodeway Inn, where he was lying on
the floor face up, naked and strangled by a belt.
Authorities initially thought it was a case of auto-
erotic asphyxiation, but called homicide detectives
to investigate, CBS reported.
Baker checked into the hotel’s fifth-floor room at
about 3 p.m. on Sunday, where two different men
visited him during the day.
Police said the person of interest was the
doctor’s second guest, who visited Baker that
evening.
Baker told his wife he was in Philadelphia to
watch the Eagles game at a bar, police said. His
office was a few blocks away from the hotel
where he died.
