35-year-old Nathan Baker of Shoals was found guilty of murder and other counts Monday in Martin County.
Baker was on trial facing two counts each of Murder, Burglary and Theft. He was convicted on all counts.
The jury concluded that Baker was the shooter in the deaths of 82-year-old Alan Sims and 52-year-old Thom Tharp. Investigators say they were going inform police about Baker’s involvement in a burglary at a river cabin.
Both men were found shot to death on Sims’ property on Fred Sims Road August 26th 2015. In addition to the murders Baker was also found guilty of stealing items from both victims’ homes including a car from Tharp. Baker was caught that day in the car after he led police on a brief chase in Lawrence County, Indiana.
Sentencing is tomorrow and Baker could face 142 years in prison.
