PATRICK BAXTER | Path of Destruction: Raped and murdered one girl and two women in Westchester County, New York | Sentenced to life imprisonment | Autographed Letter, Signed
LongfellowSerenade 67
Patrick Baxter, an American serial murderer, was apprehended in 2000 for raping and murdering two women and a juvenile girl in Westchester County, New York, between 1987 to 1990. The murders were first thought to be unrelated due to their various ethnicities and locations. DNA profiling helped connect and solve the cases.
Michelle Walker, a black ninth-grade student, was sexually abused and died of asphyxiation. Patricia England, a white Yonkers resident, was sexually raped and presumably died by asphyxiation. Baxter found out about Patricia through her boyfriend, who had previously worked with him at an auto repair company. Lisa Gibbens, a medical office receptionist, was sexually attacked and murdered near Crestwood Train Station.
Baxter was imprisoned and freed multiple times, but in 2000, a blood sample was obtained that matched the killer's DNA in all three murders. He was convicted of three murders and sentenced to 25 years to life in prison for each. Despite his apologies to the victims' families, Baxter denied carrying out the murders.

Patrick Baxter:
The Shocking True Story of Westchester's Most Notorious Serial Killer
Background Information
Patrick Baxter, born on April 28, 1969, is an American serial killer known for the brutal rapes and murders of three young women in Westchester County, New York, between 1987 and 1990. His criminal activities remained unsolved for years until advancements in DNA technology led to his arrest in 2000.
Murders Committed
Baxter’s crime spree involved three victims:
Michelle Walker (14 years old) - On June 6, 1987, Michelle was sent by her family to buy pizza and milk but never returned home. Her body was discovered the next day in a wooded area along a trail in Yonkers. She had been sexually assaulted and died from asphyxiation. At the time of her murder, Baxter lived nearby but could not be questioned due to legal restrictions related to another case he was facing.
Patricia England (19 years old) - Patricia disappeared on January 1, 1988, while celebrating her birthday with friends. Her frozen body was found two months later near Greenburgh, having been sexually assaulted and likely killed elsewhere before being transported to the dump site. Initially, her boyfriend was a suspect but was cleared through DNA evidence.
Lisa Gibbens (25 years old) - Lisa was murdered on July 17, 1990, while walking to work near the Crestwood train station. She was attacked, sexually assaulted, and shot in the head with a sawed-off shotgun. The community was shocked by this crime due to its rarity in Tuckahoe.
Investigation and Arrest
For many years after these murders occurred, they were treated as separate cases due to differences in victim profiles and locations. However, as forensic science advanced—particularly DNA profiling—investigators began to connect these cold cases back to Baxter.
In early 2000, investigators revisited these unsolved cases and requested a blood sample from Baxter while he was incarcerated for auto theft. After a legal battle over obtaining the sample, it matched DNA evidence collected from all three murder scenes.
Baxter went on trial in 2002 for the murders of Walker, England, and Gibbens. He was convicted on all counts and sentenced to serve 25 years to life imprisonment for each murder consecutively.
Current Status
As of now, Patrick Baxter is serving a sentence of 75 years to life imprisonment following his conviction for these heinous crimes. Despite expressing condolences during sentencing, he has maintained his innocence regarding the murders.
The case highlights significant advancements in forensic science that can lead to solving cold cases long after the crimes have occurred.

GORDON A. FRANKLIN | Killed 13yo Daughter Danielle With A Golf Putter For Buying Candy, Then Went Calmly About His Business | Sentenced only 15 yrs – jury felt sorry for him that his daughter was dead! | UNOPENED letter from prison
Gordon Franklin (b. May 22, 1966 | age 56) was found guilty of
fatally striking his daughter, Danielle, with a golf club as she
slept. The first strike was enough to kill her, according to the
Hamilton County Prosecutor’s Office, but he hit her multiple times.
Glisson, a first
responder, calls the crime unfathomable:
I
don’t think there’s any amount of worldly justice that is good
enough for that guy. He deserves a whole lot more … and about 100
times more after that...
