Exclusive | Samantha Bakers neighbor reveals chilling details of loud fight before teen son allegedly stabbed Ala. mom to death
The Alabama mom allegedly butchered by her teen son had fought with him about her Facebook posts — where she once griped about his “attitude” — in the hours leading up to the gruesome attack that also left her husband fighting for his life, a neighbor exclusively revealed to The Post.Samantha Baker, 37 — who was found dead from multiple stab wounds outside an Augustine Drive home in the private Belforest complex late Sunday — had tried to put her enraged 17-year-old son Brandon in his place earlier that day, according to the family’s next-door neighbor, Shawn Scurry. Surveillance camera footage taken from Scurry’s home captured tense audio snippets of the argument that unfolded between the mother-son duo on their front porch around 2:30 p.m. Scurry believed the pair was fighting about Samantha’s Facebook, where she posted about her two sons and her family life.“He was asking about a comment, and she was saying it was just a story,” Scurry said.
“She was saying … it wasn’t about him.”The 51-year-old neighbor said she assumed, based on the “loud” exchange, that Samantha’s frequent posts about Brandon “was starting to hurt him.” “She does talk kind of rude about the kids … and, you know, they are teenagers,” Scurry said. The parents’ 16-year-old son was not home when his only brother allegedly charged at his parents with a kitchen knife, chasing them out of their home in the well-kempt complex, according to cops. Chilling photos shared by Samantha on Facebook show her and Lance posing cheerily with their boys at high school football games, on a dock and inside a church.“I love being a football mom.I don’t love the way they smell but hard work does stink!” the mom captioned one Oct.
