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

Sounds like she was in Australia for a year and a half according this article

Fairchild testified that Baker has lived in South Carolina for a period of time, as well as Kings Mountain. She said Baker also went to meet now-husband Adam in Australia and lived there for a year-and-a-half, returning in December 2008.

Lots of other good info there.

I always thought, from research, she went over in about May/June 2008 but I could be totally wrong about this, I don't have the pages available to got back and check now they have been pulled from myspace.

I would give anything to know what sort of visa she entered Australia under.

I think the only reason that AB is still walking around is that LE doesn't want him to lawyer up just yet.

Natisha Lance of NG's show said EB lived in England for a year and half. Did we know that? Makes contact with someone in the UK not so unlikely (although puzzling that he sent her so much money).

Didn't know that EB lived in England for a year and a half but know that on EB - gothicfairy there was a pix of a MH (female) listed as a friend from London. Do believe that friend had lived in London but is now living in North Carolina.

What continents didn't she touch?

Lawyers on now - saying they should not speak as they could easily be prosecuted on what they are saying.

Natisha reporting the police are remaining tight lipped - have identified a particular cell they believe the piece of evidence will be.

BBM I guess if they find the leg in that particular cell LE can determine the time it was brought to the landfill and prove Zahra didn't have her leg for weeks before reported missing, but what else will it prove?

If what AF said is true then EB would have been in Oz from about June 2007. I really don't think this is right - I will go and check later.

Searchers have repeatedly visited the Hickory home where the Bakers moved in August or September. On Wednesday, they also searched the Bakers' previous address in the Caldwell County town of Hudson.

Police are familiar with the mobile home. They were called for service there more than a dozen times for incidents including family disputes, two break-ins, and a report by Elisa Baker's daughter that accused Baker of using her information to get utilities in her name without her permission.

Those were the last two paragraphs

This woman is something else. She never worked (according to her daughter) but had no problem sticking her hands in other people's pockets. How in the world do you steal your own child's credit? She must have used her daughter to get utilities because her own credit was so messed up or she and her hubby of the year owed too much to get new service. They didn't pay their rent either forcing an eviction. Just lived on other people's backs. Ugh... scum!

My heart gets heavier every time I learn more about the kind of person EB was. It makes me wish I could have had just one day with Z. I would have taken her to the mall and bought her any outfit she wanted, paint her nails, get her those teen magazines, take her to the movies. Try to find out her likes and dislikes. Most of all let her be the girl she fought all those years to be. Cancer took away so much of her life, she deserves to enjoy being a kid and to look forward to her crazy teenage years. I don't think she got any of that living with EB. I don't think she was allowed to have an opinion let alone get anything she liked or wanted.

And again I swear if there was any money left from those fund raisers it went straight to EB.

Catawba County District Judge Robert Mullinax Jr. increased her bond from $40,000 to $65,000, saying the allegations against Baker were “disturbing and unsettling.” The total bond against Baker is now $97,200.

wow

 

[epiphany]

NG: the fact that he references that she stays in the room>she's locked in the room

 

[peg4x4]

Jeez!!! Poor Zahara... :censored: I can not say what I want to.

 

[epiphany]

MarkK: re theory that she was sold for drugs>was no ambiguity from LE re calling this a homicide; even bio-daughter afraid for her life

 

[NoeticSoul]

I don't know if it makes any sense to anybody else but IMO the way he refers to them taking the leg with them suggests that he considers the leg was separate from Zahra at the time of the abduction. As if the kidnappers took Zahra and then grabbed her leg off the shelf...

That's true I hadn't thought of that. And why would a "kidnapper" be so gracious as to stop and take her leg along with them anyhow? That would be silly.

wow, nice catch darnudes, TY. I have family members with lupus, it can be very debilitating. My husbands cousin, a young mother, died of complications from lupus two years ago.

This could explain the drastic change in EB's appearance over the last few years. May also give clue as to what type of drugs EB was dealing or doing (if that turns out to be the case, her family members are sort of creeding me out with their willingness to talk NOW rather than when it could have helped Z).

Another thing I notice in your link was the below

Bellas quizzed Fairchild on Baker’s nomadic lifestyle, and how she has lived in five places in the last 22 months. Fairchild said that pattern was normal for her as a child, saying she’s never had a stable residence growing up.

I knew they Bakers where moving around alot but five places in not quite two years? Nomadic indeed. > Or one step ahead of eviction for non payment. < supposition on my part

Thank you, Kamille. Either I heard it wrong when I thought Natisha said England or she got it wrong. Australia would make more sense.

"Meanwhile, the residents of a trailer park in Caldwell County where Zahra lived until mid-summer are still hoping the girl will be found alive, but they admit that hope is fading. Search teams combed the woods around the trailer park last Wednesday.

"They need to come back and do some more," said Tabitha Haas.

Haas said Adam and Elisa Baker were spotted in the neighborhood about three weeks ago.

"They came here at night," Haas said.

Peggy Johnson claims a few days later, "the most awful smell was coming up out of the manhole in my yard."

She said authorities lifted the lid and looked inside, but only for a few seconds.

"They's another manhole in the holler that they need to come back and look at," Johnson said.

The place she talked about is hidden in a valley area behind a vacant trailer. It is in the same area where the couple was spotted."

I think that is misreporting about EB living in UK for a year and half, I have never heard that or seen it in print anywhere. Maybe she is getting confused with Australia?

 

[tlcya]

just as an FYI the awful smell coming from the manholes was determined to be sewer gas and it was also covered in the same paper. Apparently it was noticed in several areas that day by residents in Hickory.
