A search of a site in Dudley Shoals for missing Zahra Baker turned up animal bones on Monday...

OK.....now aussiegirl is definitely Australian, you can tell because she says;

'all over the internet saying that the bio mum must not have loved her or gave a sh**'

That's as Aussie as you get. Now the response I have to say does sound American;

If I had to put money on it I would say this is likely a supporter, JMO.

I don't think saying "mum" and "gave a S***" indicates that the person is an aussie for TWO reasons. If I (an american) were going to impersonate an aussie... use of the word "mum" would be top on my list. And many Americans also use the phrase "give/gave a s****" .

At the start of this I use to give AB the benefit of the doubt that he was just a bad parent for not wanting to have anything to do with the Care of Z. Probably because he worked too much. THAT has changed...that man is involved as much as EB in my opinion. Listen to that 911 call again. He knew there was blood, he helped clean it up, but what he wasn't sure was if they got rid of it all or not, or if the cops would find any. That is why AB went on and on about her brooding, and insinuated to the 911 operator that Zahra was menstruating. This clearly in my minds eye, shows clear guilt.

He went on and on about her brooding? I must have heard a different 911 call. Because i remember it as one simple statement ... not going on and on?

The original comment is still there, just in another thread. Don't have time to look up the link right now, but it has not been removed.

While I can't confirm it is Zahra's mother, I can say I have also received an email from her and she is originating from Australia and I have her real name.

That's about all I can tell you right now.

Thank you Valhall for jumping in and clarifying that!

anything new happening this morning? TIA

 

[Valhall]

just my own two cents, If I am the long silent, at least to public, bio mother of Z. When I do finally decde to clear the air and make a public statement about my daughter's disappearance, it won't be on a site such as Val's. No offense to Val or the site, but with all the rumor and intertest about "where is bio mom, who is bio mom, why is bio mom not speaking?" IF and WHEN I was goign to say something, it would be to MSM, not a letter to an arbitrary site.

Oh, no, I'm not offended at all. And a part of me agrees with you, while the other part of me wonders what I would do! I'm just not sure. I can say I feel "personally" sure it is her. But I wouldn't want to say - by golly that's her! Because in this e-world we're operating in here, we can darned sure get fooled by people with bad intentions.

I have emailed her and asked for something that if she can provide it, would allow me to say with confidence it is her. I'll let you know what I find out, or if she even replies!

I guess I stand with you right now that I'd have to say 'buyer beware', but myself, I believe it is her.

Just to play devil's advocate I don't know that one comment is enough to gauge its veracity one way or another. Very often I use the British spelling and lose my 'zed' when typing - also I say bloody, bleeding and gobsmacked - much to the amusement of locals with my decidedly Midwest accent.

Just throwing that out there. I really, really wish LE would give us a presser already and some new news.

I don't think the post was worded at all like an Aussie. :twocents:

I think it could have been written by an Australian, but I do not think that Australian was Zahra's mother.

Also, I agree with Mrs G Norris in re: the religious content being distinctly American:

Now the response I have to say does sound American;

'please keep praying they find her'

..and other religious sentiments which are a little unusual for Australians, but not necessarily unheard of, the overall tone is softer than is usual for us, but if she put a lot of time into it she may have softened it herself or written it with Americans in mind.

Also, the usages "lil angel" and "beautiful angel" are first and foremost Americanisms given the religious context, I think, plus especially the use of the contracted adjective "lil" - distinctly an American usage.

The phrase "...I cannot fathom the possibility of my daughter going through things that would never even enter my night terrors" is, however, not something an American is likely to have written - though it could have been done to mimic one whose language training is based on the British English model rather than the American one.

It was the tone of her whole message really, I just limited it to that one because I thought it was the strongest and wanted to be succinct....but that's ok we can agree to disagree

Not sure if any Hickory locals have been by the "Hickory" house this morning.....but it is police-taped off and a cop sitting in driveway. Why now?? They never taped the house off even in the beginning!

Interesting. I will drive by there at lunch today and report back.

It seems if it was a crime scene that it would be contaminated now?

Good morning all. I hope today is the day they find beautiful Zahra. The weather was crazy here last night, trees, power lines, and houses damaged. I hope it didn't damage the search site as well.

Today's weather looks like it won't be cooperating. Windy, humid and thunderstorms turning into severe weather later tonight. Prayers for searchers. I cannot even begin to imagine the emotional turmoil they are going through. I wish everyone peace.

My nerves were shot last night lol. I think I watched WSOC news breaks till I finally went to sleep around 3 am. I asked a friend who works at a kennel about a mile from Monday's search area what it was like there. He drove a different way in but said it was looked like a swamp.

It's raining pretty hard at my house right now.

I know they probably had a cop on the scene last night to keep it secure (poor cop) I'm sure they will do what they can but if it is raining hard they'll wait until the weather clears a little. They could switch and take care of other leads that require desk type work.

That poor officer!! The storms didn't hit the top part of the county as hard....but in some spots they were talking about HEAVY winds. IIRC they were up to 50mph in some spots.

 

[tlcya]

huh, interesting. wonder if we can expect more search warrants of if the officer is there to drive off press and lookyloos?

TY shopgirl

Ah, they may be protecting it.

This is my first time posting here. This case has hit very close to home for me. I moved to GA from the UK when I was 12 with my mother and stepfather. I am now 21 so it wasn't that long ago really. In regards to the immigration process - we had to apply for visa's. My biological father had to say he was okay with us moving even though he had no custodial rights whatsoever. We had to prove that we weren't going to be a burden on the government and my stepfathers job (the reason we moved) could really only be performed by him. We started the process of applying fr a green card right before 9/11 and it took until 2007 fr us to get them. It was costly and time consuming. We had to do all sorts of blood tests, background checks and photo's without smiles and ears showing (strange I know). Last year I got pregnant without health insurance. I tried to applied for Medicaid but was turned away due to not having my green card for more than 5 years. I am wondering how this little girl had any treatment for Dr's unless she had insurance. something else comes to mind regarding immigration too - did bio-mum give the ok? It just scares me knowing this little girl went through all this. Let me tell all of you how very difficult it was being 12 and moving even though I spoke the language. It took my brother and me about five years to fully adjust. I hope this helps anyone with questions regarding medical/immigration. You are all doing a wonderful job

I don't understand why they didn't protect it before now. It was completely open for anyone to go into the yard etc.
