Please help FIND / REPORT the whereabouts of Johnathan Dennis Baker aka Jon Baker aka "Jonathan" Baker (born April 1st, 1971 - Cold Lake Alberta - adopted at age 2). He hasn't seen his child in 7 years and owes over 27K in back child support. A MISSING Dead Beat Dad! This is our last resort!!!

He is 5'10", blonde with receeding hairline, likely shaved bald, blue eyes. No known tattoos. His weight flucuates greatly but he is usually on the heavier side. He was a smoker and may continue to be. Was a habitual drug user and alcoholic.

May be found in British Columbia/Western Canada or California USA. Mostly likely Calgary Alberta.

As of February 2004 he owes 27K in child support payments. He has literally disappeared off the face of the earth!! The Maintenance agreement / Court order has been registered under the Maintenance Enforcement Program (MEP) through the Alberta government since 1994. In their attempts to arrange payments with him, his Alberta driver's license has been suspended. He has a Federal garnishee on his income and taxes. He hasn't made a voluntary payment in 3 years and THAT was just the one payment in an attempt to avoid having his license suspended. He hasn't filed a tax return in 3-4 years. Since the suspension and garnishee, their team of investigators have lost the trail on him for 2+ years now. They are attempting to locate him to serve him a court order to appear in front of a judge to explain why he has not been paying child support. If they can't find him they cannot serve him a subpeona! The situation is at a dead-end!

The government agency MEP believes his family and friends are ACTIVELY hiding him. His parents Gary and Carole live in Millerville just west of Turner Valley on a hectacre with animals. His oldest sister Carrie is/was married to a Mr. Bean out of California, works in the rodeo circuit, and they have a child. His older sister Christy is/was a former model, divorced and remarried, last known living in Saskatchwan.

We have been stone-walled when asking his friends about his wherebouts. They are unwilling to report where he might be found. They do report though that he seems to be happy and healthy, living in the Southwest part of Calgary Alberta Canada.

His friends have reported sightings of him throughout the city of Calgary. Last known sighting was in October of 2002. He has a history of alcoholism, drug abuse and violent / suicidal tendencies. He had/has a collection of fire-arms, small caliper hand guns. He has been financially supported through the government via Mental Health services though it is unclear if he is still on the program or not now. It is very likely he can be seen in the punk/skin head/goth/industrial music clubs and/or British pubs within Calgary, perhaps even working as a bouncer (he has worked as a bouncer before at the Warehouse in 1991) or in some other capacity as staff. He has worked "under-the-table" for cousins/family who live on farms in rural Alberta, working as a farm-hand. He has worked for AGT (now known as Telus) as an in-store sales-rep. He may also be found working with computers as a security consultant or programmer or technical writer.

Though there were some fears he might have passed on/died, the latest reports show that he is very much alive and well. Last known address was in Bankview in 1996-1997, going to the University of Calgary.

The payments per month were only a pittance ($300/month)! They have never been increased or added to by any other court order. He has expressed a very REAL resentment in having to pay child support. He has twisted words around in order to get out of seeing his child (imho) lying about what was said and not said. When forced to reckon with his responsibilities he attempted to commit suicide and that had scared his family into never forcing the issue ever again (imho).

His child is brilliant, smart, loving, kind, generous, very clever, articulate, creative, a wonderful soul! Very good looking and has a wicked sense of humour. Has a very real darkness within however. Unfortunately growing up without a father has taken its toll!

This is our last resort!

Please help us find Jonathan (Dennis) Baker!

Thank you.

After numerous years of depression and living in abject poverty, I have managed to begin to turn my life around.

As a part of this, as soon as I was financially able, I contacted Maintenance Enforcement to make arrangements on the child support arrears, and have begun making payments.

I have already attended one court date, and will be attending another in the near future in order to clear this up.

All this happened before I was even aware of my standing in "The Rip Off Report" - which an old friend advised me of this afternoon.

As far as the report filed by Ms. Grace Lu, there is a good deal of accuracy in her report, insofar as I did default on payments for over seven years and have had no contact with the child since shortly after he was born.

Beyond that, there is a mass of misinformation and outright libel.

I have never owned a pistol, though at one point I did own several "Stage Guns" - which were plastic and fired blanks. I have never owned any firearm of any description.

While I have suffered from depression, I have never been a beneficiary for government support for mental disability.

I bear no malice towards Grace or our son, though my inability to meet my financial obligations towards her were long a partial source of my depression.

As for being an alcoholic/drug abuser - I long left my heavy partying days behind, and haven't had anything stronger than an Aspirin in nearly three years.

And yes, I am happy, healthy, and living in Calgary. I work at a highly demanding yet not high paying job at a homeless shelter, and sincerely look forward to making full amends to Grace and our son.
