Hickory Police Chief Tom Adkins said at the beginning of the investigation that Adam Baker had outstanding warrants for worthless checks.

Adkins said officers would execute those warrants when the time was appropriate. Baker wasn't arrested earlier because he was cooperating with investigators in the search for Zahra.

I found this, not sure if it is right tho, North Carolina police find mattress of missing Zahra
www.perthnow.com.au October 25th

Based on this article, it appears no mattress was found.

Zahra Baker's dad charged after landfill search turns up empty

Several mattresses were found in the landfill and police took samples of those mattresses with them. However, it is not believed that investigators found the "key piece of evidence" they were looking for.

And I bet the consulate said, "You can keep him, we don't want him back." I highly doubt Australia wants to help him out in any way right now. And I wonder who would pay to get him out of jail? I seriously hope no one pays that bond and gets him out. He is right where he belongs.

I would certainly hope that the Australian consulate gets involved. That's what they are there for. I would hate to think that anyone would not get help from their consulate in a foreign country no matter what. JMO

No way! Do you think that's legit? Sure sounds like he was trying to flee.

Hickory police have arrested the father of a missing 10-year-old on charges unrelated to her disappearance.

Well apparently he was trying to flee the country - they arrested him at the airport. I would certainly hope that the Australian consulate would at least frown upon the implications of that.

I hardly think he was filling out a job application or hitting up a coffee place! Wow.. this is just crazy isn't it?????

WTG LE for being on his six!

 

[Patty G]

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?

Good one!

 

[NCMOM]

Not sure I understand this arrest. All they picked him up on was the worthless check charge. He'll be bailed out within 48 hours on that one. Are they planning on hitting both of them with more charges today, now that they have them both in custody. :waitasec:

ETA: Just saw the full list. Makes more sense.

Where is the full list of charges?

 

[sunsetbeach]

If he was willing to leave this country then he knows his daughter is NOT alive. What parent would go off and leave a child if it was possible that she may still be alive? He KNOWS the truth.

They will assist and guide him wherever they can. They won't try to get him off on anything you can count on that.

MOO
