NC - Zahra Clare Baker, 10, Hickory, 9 Oct 2010 # 22

Just throwing this out there just for the heck of it; maybe relatives came in from Australia and he went there to pick them up!

I thought LE has three passports?

Interesting theory. I'd like to know if he had purchased a ticket, or was picking up a relative. Reminds me of the british bloke who killed his wife and child, then fled back to the UK. He was finally brought back to the US. Gosh, I can't remember his name (the coffee hasn't kicked in yet).

I just aint buying the picking up grandma thing (moo jmhoo all that jazz). Why would they be tailing him and arrest him while picking up his mother. I think there was a reason they arrested him in the early morning hours at the airport

I think Adam was planning to go somewhere and not necessarily australia... those flights usually leave in the evening.

again moo... I have a big hat and will take a bite if needed ;-)

Why would they choose to arrest him when he is picking up a family member? I have a slight feeling they have been watching for this kind of thing and had to use the check charges to grab him because he tried to flee.

I hope for his sake he was just picking up his mother but I don't understand why they would pick that time to arrest him when they could have picked him up all this time for those charges.

*sigh* This is like a movie and just keeps getting weirder.

Ok, lets find arrivals/departures for that time of morning from this airport. He may have been picking up his mom.

Already checked. Two flights were coming in from San Diego around 6am.

Here are the Departures at that time...

I would think they arrested him quietly at the airport to avoid the media attention around his home (if he was there to pick someone up)

OR

They arrested him before he had a chance to flee

Great sleuthing guys..

so no international arriving flights between say 2 and 7 am? Some reports say 3am arrest and some say before 6am

How would one travel to Australia? Cities, etc

 

[LiveLaughLuv]

I thought as long as AB was cooperating, LE wasn't going forward with those charges. Could be they might offer him some immunity if he were to tell what he knows in regards to Zahra and his darling wifey!

Might be LE's ace in the hole to get Zahra home. I remember reading one article where AB states, he thinks his wife could be involved in Zahra's disappearance. This move on LE side might be the leverage needed...JMHO

Where is Zahra?

Passing this along in case it hasn't been posted yet:

My heart just sank. I was holding out in hopes that he was just blind or numb to what was happening.......

I think I fell off the fence....

 

[tlcya]

where it says search , type in Z B name, headlines read that Police find Matress of ZB

bads reporting, untrue. LE says they DID NOT find anything at landfill. OZ newsites picked up erroneously reported stuff from FOX news.

Untrue.

Like everyone else, my heart goes out for Zahra!

I don't believe the father is guilty of anything but being an irresponsible parent. My bet is that he left all her care giving to his wife. He knew she was locking her in the room but for all we know she kept giving him excuse after excuse as to why she was being grounded and he probably just didn't get involved.

The cops being tight lipped is a good thing even though some of us would love to follow the case more closely. My guess is they are not charging the Father yet for any child abuse because they are hoping she spouts off. The longer she is in jail and becomes desperate she may start to talk more. Her character tells me this also.

My opinion is she was dead in that house at least a few days before she disposed of the body. It is all confusing because the step mom is without a doubt has physiological issues and this is why nothing is making sense to us.

Answers will come out soon enough.

OH I am a very newbie here but I have nothing but time on my hands so I would like to learn how to use tools and information to help locate or ease suffering from Victims and their families. If anyone would like to step up and be my mentor in helping me learn the ins and outs...please pm me.

I can't recall whether it was JVM's or NG's show, but I heard the reason why BB's mom didn't report the abuse was because she didn't believe her addict daughter. My God - if that were the case, then WHY on earth didn't she take the time to investigate the allegations herself??

Prior to that, I could've sworn I heard the real reason Mom didn't report B's story of abuse was because she was afraid her daughter would be arrested for drugs. Whatever. The fact is, they let that little girl down, and it's disgusting.

BB's mother (KD) said she spent a day with BB and Z at a park. KD did question Zahra about a faded black eye. Z said it was from a door. KD asked her if EB ever hit her and Z said "No, I love my mumma and she would never hit me."

I'm looking here:

http://www.airport-charlotte.com/Arrivals.cfm

You can set it for 3-6 a.m. both arrivals and departures......I don't see OZ anywhere yet

 

[Aedrys]

Already checked. Two flights were coming in from San Diego around 6am.

Here are the Departures at that time...

http://www.airport-charlotte.com/Departures.cfm

Nothing pulled up when I went to that link, but it said as of 11:01 am. Did you see any interesting departures that might suggest where he might have been going?

 

[Nana46]

I looked for arrivals at that airport however, I am not savvy enough to know if you fly direct from Australia or it is a change of plane/airport in that situation. If someone knows it might be possible to figure out depending on flights coming from Australia.IMO

 

[paradox217]

I guess he wasn't picking up his mum then. Unless she flew into San Diego first? I don't know the route taken when someone flys here from Australia.

Most Aussie flights connect in So California. FWIW the cheapest flight I could find to Sydney is $1177 in the next week. If AB has that amount available, he can bond out with a bailbondsman PDQ.

 

[tehcloser]

If LE did not think he was involved, they would not have arrested a grieving father on those charges yet. They would have waited. They did it because they think he is involved and they said as long as he was cooperating they would not arrest him....guess he's not cooperating anymore eh?

COoperating doesn't help LE much if all it encompasses is showing up when LE ask him to. MOO, he is cooperative, but hasn't given any acceptable info or information. In that instance, he would be useless to LE.

 

[believe09]

I am with those of you who believed they popped him because they thought he was going to flee....

Entwhistle I think, or close to it.....

So he might have been there to pick up his mum, but if her flight wasn't in until 6am, why was he there three hours early? Doesn't add up to me.

Adam,
WHAT were you doing at the AIRPORT?????

And at 3 a.m.!
