video & more at link.AUSTIN (KXAN) - As Michael Morton’s story made headlines, led to changes in law, and rewrote history, the family of Debra Baker quietly waited for their turn.
Baker was beaten to death inside her home in 1988 and the crime scene was very similar to the murder of Christine Morton two years earlier for which Michael Morton was wrongfully imprisoned.
In 2011, the two murders then shared another similarity.
Same suspect.

This month, in a courtroom in Williamson County, just north of Austin, the siblings learned of the most dramatic development in the case in two decades. DNA from hair retrieved at the scene of their mother’s murder — evidence that the Bakers did not know existed — matched a biological sample found near the home where another young wife and mother, Christine Morton, had been murdered in August 1986. Her husband, Michael Morton, had been convicted in her death in Williamson County and sentenced to life in prison, but was exonerated last week.
