Hurstville Grove man James Hachem, 34, pleaded not guilty in the NSW Supreme Court on Friday to murdering the then-30-year-old in Parramatta in January 2019.
Ms Baker was last seen after a friend dropped her home in Early Street, Parramatta, in the early hours of January 4.
Relatives reported her missing later that day after failing to contact her.
Hachem was arrested and charged with murder in March 2019.
The case is expected to return to court for pre-trial mention on September 4.
