well we know one thing... the bond is UP and she aint getting OUT (sorry... I just had to

:clap: :clap: :clap:

Yep. And toxics that people have discarded like old paint stripper, pesticides etc.

Also, if the landfill contained household garbage, the dog would be smelling a lot of decomposing blood people shed in ways that are legal and normal... sanitary napkins, kitchen towels used to stem blood flow after accidents, tissues people have used when emptying cysts at home, old wound dressings etc. A handler would be necessary to check the hits immediately and keep things moving.

Cadaver dogs aren't going to hit on just BLOOD. They are trained to detect the specific smells and gases caused when a BODY decomposes.

If they are looking for her leg they may be using something of hers (shirt / toy / blanket) with a tracking dog to track it.

Again, my guess is they have several dogs out there all with different intents and purposes.

On Wednesday morning, Elisa Baker appeared in court for a bond hearing. A judge upped her bond from $40,000 to $65,000, citing “disturbing and unsettling” allegations surrounding the charge.

G-d bless that judge! Let's hope it keeps climbing up...

 

[Tikki]

INCREASED.....that went well for them.

Oh, I hope thats right!

I see it is! YES! Things are moving in the right direction...

 

[tehcloser]

I wonder how long they have been at the landfill? And if they are keeping reporters back.....well wonder if it's more of a crime scene than search?

Bond up.
Leg info.
Landfill.
Presser.

I think we have something.

Some info about dogs and landfills.
Again, I will repeat, if HRD dogs are trained properly, they will NOT hit on pads, tampons, bandaids, human waste and the like. There are dogs out there that are trained using these things unfortunately and this is just another reason why this training method is such a bad idea, it makes them worthless in many situations.
Landfills are VERY dangerous places to search for both K9s and people. Not only are there sharp objects like metal, but you also have to deal with needles, human waste and naturally occurring gases which all can be extremely dangerous. There are a lot of dog handlers who will not work in a landfill and I do not blame them at all (in fact I fully support that decision, it's just too dangerous IMO).

Oops! Hit enter before I started typing!


I wonder what is meant by "disturbing and unsettling" allegations? Well, I can guess, but I am terribly curious exactly what was alleged.

Does anyone have the Jails rules on visitation? I know it is different for different facilitys.

I hope LE is recording her conversations with her "visitors".

They say Zahra's prosthetic leg was missing. I would think this rules out any thought that she was taken in the night, as I don't expect she sleeps with it on. (I really don't think she was "taken" at all, of course. Just wondering about the ostensible explanation.)

Hickory police, along with several other law enforcement agencies, are searching a Caldwell County landfill for "a piece of evidence" in the case of a disabled missing 10-year-old girl, police announced Wednesday.

Zahra Clare Baker was reported missing Oct. 9, but investigators have said they don’t believe the story given by her father and stepmother. Police believe the girl is dead.

A search team is hoping to find clues to her disappearance in the landfill at 2800 Cheraw Road in Lenoir, according to Hickory police.

Members of the media are not allowed at the landfill site. Instead, police are asking them to stay at the Caldwell County Sheriff's Office where a media briefing will be held at 1 p.m. Wednesday.

Amber Fairchild told the judge that Baker told her she wanted to leave the state during a recent jail visit. Fairchild also said her mother had gotten $10,000 from a man in London who she chats with online.
The judge ruled that Baker was a flight risk and a risk to the community. He said that Baker must wear an electronic monitoring bracelet if she makes bond.
