I grew up in the town ZAhra Baker was from with a population of about 300 but a couple of other small towns around it....I live in the biggest about 50km away with a pop of 180 000.
I was too scared to ask my facebook friends from there any questions because of this rumor thing and was pleasantly surprised that they didnt gossip about it on fb...however I did run into a few of them at a funeral and my goodness they knew everything...
I think when you have grown up in a small town, especially where alot of people are related, you understand "the bushies telegraph" as they call it here. However this social networking has changed alot of things and people dont realize how many others can be 'sleuthing" their pages for info..... I am a bit ashamed to say I am one that does it, but also know locals talk and this is the modern way they talk.
however I never mention a name or accuse anyone until it is known for a fact by the Le. I do of course have theories, like the rest of us.
This 2nd body rumor is really concerning me, but I think the police have hinted at that with the term "at least".
