Apartment Manager Pushes for Positive Change in the Wake of Tragedy

Oakdale Village Apartments Community Manager Sarah Kohler was given the city’s Distinguished Citizen Award.

In late December last year, Oakdale Village Apartments Community Manager Sarah Kohler faced a situation she never expected—the murder of one of her residents. She’d worked so hard over the past six years to make the apartment complex safe, she said, that when she got the news Dec. 28 that 39-year-old Lori C.

Police Meet with Oakdale Village Residents About Tenant's Murder

Lori Christine Baker was found dead in her Oakdale apartment with multiple stab wounds. A suspect was arrested in connection with the case.

Police have arrested Thomas J. Fox, 44, in connection with the murder of 39-year-old Lori Christine Baker, a longtime nanny who was discovered by her employer after she didn’t show up for work. When an Oakdale Village resident asked police why Fox—who was arrested last Thursday—hasn’t been charged yet in connection with the murder, Oakdale Community Affairs Officer Michelle Stark said police are taking advantage of the extra time they have to investigate since Fox is being held on unrelated charges for absconding from a work release program…
