Shortly after Ronan O'Connor was found dead, Baxter put on his hat and mocked him for not calling backup, receiving a punch to the jaw from Rex, who was Ronan's brother-in-law. He is soon considered a suspect and is demoted. He continues the case unofficially, however, and hires Cassandra Foster to assist him. Baxter, without realizing he was used as one of the murderers by Abigail Williams, travels to the Judgement House and investigates the killer's lair.
He is killed in the aforementioned lair, although whether he was possessed and forced to commit suicide or if he was murdered by the Bell Killer is unknown; he is found without his right eye. Ronan discovers Baxter's dead body in the Judgement House and while investigating it, Baxter's ghost appears and will answer Ronan's questions. It is possible that he was murdered by a possessed man, most likely Rex, because he mentions that the Bell Killer killed him.
It is unknown whether or not Baxter's ghost moves on to "The Light" or if he has some other unfinished business. But before the end, he can be seen talking with Joy Foster at the police station shortly before her mother arrives. When Joy's mother arrives he is seen walking out of sight behind a wall.
