Fauquier Count VA Jan 17 2013 Sheriff Ray Fox Jr. and Fauquier County Commonwealth’s Attorney Jim Fisher named a West Virginia inmate as the suspect in a three decades old unsolved murder during Tuesday’s press conference.
Authorities say Ronald Richard Cloud, 64, an inmate in the Mount Olive Correctional Center in West Virginia, killed 30-year-old Brad Baker on Dec. 31, 1980, 32 years ago.
WJLA is reporting that Cloud was the stepson of a man fired from Kinloch Estate on the same day Baker was killed. Baker managed the 1,900-acre horse and cattle farm owned by relatives of Stephen Currier of the picturesque Currier and Ives prints.
According to the ABC news outlet, Baker suffered gunshots to his head and groin area and all of the windows of his two-story farmhouse were busted.
Court records show Cloud is serving time in West Virginia for kidnapping/concealing a child for other purposes, abduction, first-degree sexual and malicious assault.
In Fauquier, Cloud faces first-degree murder, malicious shooting, use of a firearm in commission of a felony and burglary.
