About this Article

Jurors will be able to hear Daniel Baker tell police on videotape that he hit his girlfriend's mother in the head with a baseball bat before fleeing with the teen for nearly five days in 2010, a judge ruled Monday. Lake County circuit court Judge Fred Foreman denied the defense motion to suppress the confession that police say Baker made to detectives while he was in custody in Montana.
