Something is just so wrong about that whole scenario...and not just that they were too stupid to at least appear to be concerned about her safety. One or both knew she was gone, so one or both should have somehow alerted authorities, and it would have been SO easy to do. Was it simply a loss of courage to follow through? Did they chicken out and have to concoct another story afterward?
I think that EB's abuse escalated for some reason either right before or right after that phone call on Friday, October 8th, to BS asking that the communicating threats charges be dropped. I feel that she likely became incensed that BS refused to comply with her request and that she took her anger out on little Zahra.
It is possible that EB was already considering leaving Adam and Zahra. She had, after all, just received monies that week from the gentleman in England. I think she was tired of her "new" husband and with another man sending her money from a land far away, she probably was fantasizing about a new life with said foreign gentleman.
I think that she knew her time was running out as to being able to get out of the country with all of the charges that were building up against her for writing so many bad checks and not living a life within the confines of the law.
I am not even sure that Adam knew about the bad checks that had been written on their account. In most states, and I believe it is so here in NC, any and all parties to a bank account are responsible for ensuring that there are sufficient funds to cover any outstanding checks.
Even if it was EB writing the checks without Adam's knowledge, he was still liable for them. Most states will charge all parties associated with the account if a check is returned for insufficient funds, and I think that is exactly what happened in this case. I have not compared Adam's bad check charges with EB's, but I would almost bet a donut that they are identical.
Although I am officially still very
slightly on the fence as to Adam's involvement, I tend to believe he had nothing to do with Zahra's demise (other than the rumored sitting back and watching as EB punished her).
That being said, I think that EB got cold feet during the fire incident and didn't want to be the one to point out that there was supposed to be a sleeping child in the house. I don't think she wanted to draw that much attention to herself. I fully believe that EB is responsible for Zahra's demise, and for having removed her from the home. I have already stated in an earlier post that I believe she is also the one who set the fire and raised the alarm for said arson.
After Adam had gone back to work that Saturday morning, and then returned home, she realized that she had to do SOMEthing to raise the alert that Zahra was not in the house, because Adam was sure to be interested in seeing his daughter. It was, after all, 2pm on a nice Saturday afternoon, and he was presumably home for the weekend. He would have expected to see Zahra at some point that afternoon.
I think that Adam made some very poor judgment calls about EB during his online courtship of her, and came to a rude awakening after moving back here to the States.
After having left his homeland on bad terms with his family, he would have lost face to admit that he made a mistake and that he wanted to go back home. This would have been a hard pill for a man's man to swallow. Unfortunately, I think that in his inaction to remove both he and Zahra from the life he so poorly chose, he inadvertently put Zahra in harm's way, and it has had tragic consequences.
I think that EB's goose is cooked. Stick a fork in her - she's done.
I am whooped my friends. Gotta get some sleep - work comes early. See told you I'm tired.
