What happened to Samantha Baker? The Alabama mom who was allegedly butchered by her teen son

A picturesque suburban neighborhood in Alabama jolted into mayhem after an enraged 17-year-old allegedly stabbed his mother to death and severely injured his father in a violent knife-wielding attack. What happened to Samantha and Lance Baker? And what led up to the military couple's eldest son, Brandon, getting collared for the shocking bloodbath? Here's what you need to know. Emergency crews flooded a typically quiet street in the private neighborhood of Bell Forest, Alabama on July 5th. After a 17-year-old dialed 911 after he went on an alleged domestic stabbing spree, which left his mother, 37-year-old Samantha Baker, dead and his father, 46-year-old Lance Baker, in critical condition. The teen suspect was later identified as the military couple's eldest son, Brandon Baker, a rising high school senior. Traumatized neighbors recalled the heinous attack, which they said lasted up to seven minutes. The bloodbath began after Samantha and her husband got into a heated argument with their 17-year-old son over a disciplinary issue inside their family home, Baldwin County Sheriff's Office Captain Justin Correa told The Post. That's when the boy turned a kitchen knife on his parents, allegedly stabbing them both quote, multiple times, according to Correa. A neighbor said the grisly scene unfolded on home surveillance footage, which captured the 17-year-old threatening his father, while allegedly knifing him. His father could allegedly be heard pleading for help and that he didn't want to die. At one point, the audio even reportedly captures the son hissing that he was quote, gonna kill his father. News cameras on scene showed dozens of evidence cones littering the sleepy private community, with one haunting image obtained exclusively by The Post, showing blood splattered and smeared across a glass window. One video also shows a large pool of blood staining the home's front entrance. And now a neighbor is offering some clarity into what could have led to the gruesome attack. The family's next-door neighbor, Sean Scurry, told The Post that she believed the family was fighting over Samantha's Facebook, where she posted about her two sons and her family life. The 51-year-old neighbor said she assumed, based on the quote, loud exchange, that Samantha's frequent posts about Brandon were quote, starting to hurt him. The Facebook page painted the image of a beaming family of four, with her as a doting mother to her two boys, who gushed over her alleged killer son's junior prom photos and fretted Samantha, who worked as a realtor and met her husband while serving in the U.S. Army Reserve, frequently posted photos of her family, regularly attending high school football games and church services. "'Welcome to the Baker House! We laugh, then holler, then act like nothing happened, until it's time to holler and laugh again. It's a shitshow over here. Enter at your own risk,' she lovingly joked in one post. But some of her posts also hinted at less rosy family dynamics. In January, Samantha reposted a head-scratching meme that read, "'Gentle parenting is for gentle children. My thugs will be handled accordingly.'" In one post for National Son's Day last year, the mom wrote that her Brandon was quote, a sweet guy, but then noted his quote, mouth and attitude. And in a final birthday post dedicated to him in September, she wrote, "'You are an amazing person, yet at the same time, you make my blood boil.'" Cops arrested Brandon without incident and he was arrested on murder and attempted murder charges. As of July 8th, Lance, a U.S. Army Reserve battalion commander, was still in the hospital, where he's in stable condition. The teen, who will be tried as an adult, is being held in jail on a $1 million bond.
