TAYLORSVILLE, NC. (Crime Library)  — Four months ago, 19-year-old Travis Baker vanished without a trace. Despite multiple searches on both land and water, and after endless hours of investigation, police are still no closer to solving his disappearance. Now, more so than ever, Travis's family is desperate to know what happened to their son.

"Not knowing is the hardest part," Travis's father, Dwayne Baker, told Crime Library yesterday afternoon. "Someone out there knows what happened. I just wish they'd speak up and end this nightmare."

According to Dwayne, Travis was last heard from on April 14. That morning, Travis called his dad and told him that heavy winds had damaged an outbuilding on their property.

"I told him not to worry about it and that we would fix it later," Dwayne said. "That was the last time I spoke with him."

According to Travis's mom, Patricia Baker, Travis spent the rest of the morning visiting a friend in Catawba. While there, he called his fiancée at 11:09 a.m. During the conversation, he told her he was preparing to leave to visit another friend. Before hanging up, Travis told his fiancée he would meet her for lunch.
