Jeffrey Baker is the secondary antagonist of the Chicago P.D. episode "Conventions".
He was portrayed by Brandon Dahlquist.
Background[]
He hailed from St. Louis and worked as a businessman, but he secretly possessed a sadistic psychopath with a savage hatred of women. He would troll through a chatroom, where he met fellow psychopathic misogynist Neil Vance and they became friends when meeting personally. Baker wanted to commit violence against women and girls without getting caught, so he had Vance, to rape and murder them, starting a spree from New York to Chicago. Vance, nicknamed "The Riverwalk Killer" for his area of operation in Chicago, traveled with Baker during his business conventions. Baker did not participate in the murders but acted as a lookout for potential victims for Vance, who would rape and cut an ear off each murdered woman and girl as a signature. He also has the latter describe how the torture went down.
Conventions[]
While at the pier, he would scope out potential targets while remaining inconspicuous by wearing workout gear and stretching most of the time. A pickpocket named Theo Mitchell would pass by him after spotting his watch but backed out of stealing from him on the off chance that Baker was a cop or fellow criminal.
When the murders and rapes in New York and Chicago were connected, the police formed a joint task force between their departments. The New York Special Victims Unit police formed a psychological profile, and the CPD Intelligence Unit found the business conventions, leading to Baker after Mitchell was brought in and sees his picture.
He was found at the convention under the guise of needing to answer about damage to his hotel room but at the precinct, he guesses that wasn't the case and is questioned about the recent murder. His cavalier attitude rubs Halstead and Lindsay the wrong way, until Antonio Dawson interrupts the interrogation. As it turns out, Vance raped a teenage girl while Baker was in custody, leading to his release because he was in custody and his eyes were a different color from the victim's description.
He was arrested again when Vance was identified, and Baker was found at the hotel where Vance was staying. While in custody Sergeant Voight tortured Baker by cutting into his ears like the way he and Vance did to their victims until he talked. It worked, as the terrified Baker gave up the pier where he was to meet Vance. As Voight left, Baker was reduced to crying. The two teams surrounded Vance at the pier, where he took a woman hostage. Olinsky shot Vance dead with a sniper rifle, saving the woman.
Baker was booked and arraigned for trial and convicted for being an accomplice to rape and murder.
