Potter County Murder Suicide
Roulette, Potter County - A Potter County man killed his estranged wife this weekend, and then killed himself. State Troopers said they found Matthew and Cheri Baker's bodies in their Roulette home Sunday afternoon.
Troopers said Cheri went to her husband's home to discuss custody arrangements for their two-year-old son. That’s when they say he shot her in the head, set the house on fire, and killed himself. State police are calling it a murder-suicide.
The incident started Sunday afternoon when 29-year-old Cheri Baker stopped by the home of her estranged husband, 32-year-old Matthew Baker, at 14 Fourth street, according to a spokesman with Pennsylvania State Police.
The trooper says Matthew Baker shot Cheri in the head with a .22 caliber rifle. He then set the house on fire before shooting himself in the head. The Potter County Coroner pronounced both of the Bakers dead late Sunday night. The house fire extinguished itself, causing minor damage.
Both Matthew and Cheri Baker were pronounced dead at the scene by Potter County Coroner Kevin Dusenbury around 8:10 pm Sunday.
The trooper says the investigation into this incident is ongoing and investigators are awaiting autopsy results.

We will never see your smile again.
We will never see you laugh again.
We will never see you hold your son again.
We will never see you play with Koda again.
We will never see you walk hand in hand with your son again.
We will never see you walking into our house again.
We will never see you at family gatherings again.
We will never hear you say hi Mom or Dad again.
We will never be able to help you with your problems again.
We will never see you drive by and wave again.
We will never be able to tell you goodbye again.
We will never see you on the computer again.
We can not even invite you to supper again.
There are so many things we will never be able to share again.
We will never be able to talk to you again.
We will never be able to hug you again.
You have no idea the pain and grief you have left us with, but we love you so much and never took the time to tell you.
We hope you can look down on us and guide us when we need help with Dezmond.
We love you,
