NC - Zahra Clare Baker, 10, Hickory, 9 Oct 2010 - #18

[tehcloser]

I would think if LE believed AB, they would not still be trying to find someone other than him who say they saw Zahra in the last who knows when..............

Has he taken a polygraph? Not that he has to but with missing children IMO it should be illegal not to. <in regards to suspected crimes against children>

Polygraphs aren't foolproof. Otherwise they could be introduced as court evidence without stipulation. As for "it should be illegal not to" - nonsense. Let's lose some more of our rights, eh?

Australian radio was told "extremely cooperative"...does that count? LOL


The Deputy Chief of the Hickory Police Department, Cloud Deal, told Australian radio station NEW FM in Newcastle on Wednesday (AEDT) that authorities were not hopeful of a positive outcome.

"We can always hope for that but I think at this point you've got to start preparing for an outcome of less that what one would hope for."

Deputy Chief Deal said Adam Baker had been working closely with police in the investigation.

"We have been working with him all day. He's been extremely cooperative and he's doing everything that he can do to assist in the investigation," he said.

NEWTON, N.C. - A judge deemed the stepmother of a missing 10-year-old girl a flight risk and raised her bond Wednesday after the woman's grown daughter testfied that she's carrying on an online relationship with an man in England who was sending her thousands of dollars.

Co-operating a 100%? Nope, have not heard or read any LE say that.

http://www.wsoctv.com/news/25389806/detail.html
Channel 9 has been able to confirm from police that the missing Hickory girl, Zahra Clare Baker, did make the move to Hickory with her family from Sawmills and have confirmed that she was alive as recently as mid September.Police are still working to narrow their timeline since the 10-year-old disabled girl went missing. Police said that the father, Adam Baker, has been 100 percent cooperative and has spent the majority of his time with investigators.Police also told Channel 9 that they have more search warrants but those court documents have been sealed by a judge.

But Hickory Police Department deputy chief Major Clyde Deal said: &#8220;We have been in contact with him and each time he has been co-operative.&#8221;

I can find more. There have been MANY quotes that state he is cooperating... just the one from Burke Co. sheriff that says he isn't and questions his sincerity.

IS AY EB's Ex-husband??

More like ex live-in boyfriend I think.

JVM is talking about Zahra coming up ... the abuse angle

 

[Sherbie]

I believe a member of LE at one point said about his cooperation that when they asked him to show up somewhere, he did. To me, that was less than a ringing endorsement of his full cooperation by this particular officer.

It is not uncommon for LE to say someone is cooperating when they are still hoping to get information out of them, even if it isn't really full and complete cooperation.

 

[darnudes]

Also reported on NG, take it or leave it, that the only reason he was not sitting in jail alongside his beloved is that police were hoping he would led them to Zahra. Off the record talk yes but believable nevertheless.

 

[Kamille]

I would think if LE believed AB, they would not still be trying to find someone other than him who say they saw Zahra in the last who knows when..............

Nor would they be spending time and money searching a landfill for something they likely think AB and EB threw out during a midnight drive to Caldwell county. JMO of course.

Oh ok. I was wondering cause he had made a couple posts today on his FB.

Everyone knows they're not admissible, a polygraph is nothing but a tool to indicate a persons truthfulness. I'd argue it's our children who lost their rights and supersede the rights of adults who victimize them. I never said it should be used to convict.

Pretty sure AY is EB's ex-husband (he certainly claims to be, anyway).

 

[Curious Me]

JVM bringing up the drug rumors on her show right now.

 

[Curious Me]

On JVM still where they're discussing other people who could've called in child protection services didn't because they were drug addicts that dealt with EB.

Your argument is to require someone to do something which the Constitution says he or she does not have to do - self-incriminate, based on evalutation of evidence given by the non-scientific opinion of an examiner, who is almost always a member of LE.

 

[NoeticSoul]

He says the last time he 100% saw his daughter out of bed was Tuesday but then later says it was Thursday and only after the reporter questioned him on the date. :crazy: What the H E double hockey sticks??

How can you 100% see someone? You either SEE them or you DON'T! :banghead: Big RED flag that statement.

 

[Curious Me]

AB doesn't stand out to me as strung out on drugs. I haven't been able to keep up with all the posts, so I don't know what kind of drugs EB was dealing. She looked like she was slimming down rapidly, but he doesn't.

 

[Kamille]

They were never married. She's had three husbands...Winkler, Harris and Baker.

Probably so for those that might have something that might incriminate them. Should they have clean hands, whats the problem? Keep in mind I stated with children <limited> and it's JMO
