The sheriff’s office blocked off Christie Road while it was conducting its search. After the bone was discovered, that changed the nature of the investigation along the roadway, said B.J. Fore, public information officer for the sheriff’s office.

“It’s a crime scene now,” he said.

The roadblocks will be left up over night Wednesday, and will remain up Thursday, when investigators return to the scene to continue the search, Fore said.

“Obviously, we believe it may be (a human bone) because we have had people tell us it is consistent with a human bone, but we have no confirmation on that,” said Capt. Thurman Whisnant of the Hickory Police Department.

The bone was delivered to SBI lab Thursday to collect a DNA profile. It takes longer for the medical examiner to examine the bone than it does for the SBI lab to collect material for DNA. By delivering the bone to the SBI office first, the profile can be completed while the ME’s office conducts a separate set of tests, Whisnant said.

From her home in country NSW, Ms Dietrich has told how she has spent the past decade searching for the pretty 10-year-old, whose battle against bone cancer has been a beacon of hope to other sufferers.

Just days before Zahra's disappearance, Ms Dietrich had traced her daughter to the small US township in which she lived. Agonisingly, she was not able to make contact with Zahra or her father, Adam Baker.

Emily Dietrich, whose 10-year-old daughter Zahra Baker was living in Hickory, N.C., with her father and stepmother, said she has little hope of seeing Zahra alive again.

THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.



Bombshell tonight. We learn of yet another jailhouse letter where stepmommy claims she, quote, "found Zahra dead," also claims she`s behind bars because of Zahra`s dad, Adam Baker. In another twist, stepmommy says Zahra had been sick again, although relatives and friends cannot confirm that illness. As that exhausting search now enters day two in the hope of finding more of Zahra`s bones, tonight, what happened to 10-year-old Zahra?
