In an exclusive report, NewsChannel 7 is reporting that the babysitter for a missing Chipley baby may be a suspect in the disappearance.

Babysitter Susan Baker told a newspaper she had warned the governor in august that the baby, 7-month- old Shannon Dedrick, could be in danger. However, a check of NewsChannel 7 archives shows Baker and her husband James was extradited from Chipley to Beaufort, South Carolina nine years ago in connection with the 1987 disappearance of their 3-year-old son Paul.

The boy has never been found. Baker had been the boy’s babysitter, and married his father after his divorce. The boy later disappeared. When she was returned to South Carolina in 2000, Baker was sentenced to prison for the abuse of the couples daughter. That sentence was later commuted to time served. Contacted with this information this morning, the Washington County Sheriff’s office said they had become aware of babysitter Baker's background.
