Angela Kukawski, 55, had been reported missing from Sherman Oaks on Dec. 22, according to police. A day later, on December 23rd, the LAPD grew suspicious, and LAPD officers contacted Simi Valley police around 2 a.m. to tell the local department they were coming into town to investigate a murder. Little did they know, they would find Angela’s body in the trunk of ex-boyfriend’s, Jason Baker’s car. Baker killed her at home before driving the car and fleeing. Local prosecutors allege Baker acted “with the intent to cause cruel and extreme pain and suffering for the purpose of revenge, extortion, persuasion and for a sadistic purpose.”
