Wouldn't leave something significant alone. Perhaps, dog burial.

I could very well be wrong here... but in the very beginning of this case... Didn't AB say that he went to get some equipment so he could do some yard work on the morning of Zahra's disappearance... ?? Anyone remember that..??

To me that thing in the yard (in bag) looks like the outline of a dead dog.

The left end has a "curvature" to it - kinda like a bathtub. Have no clue what this is or why is "wrapped".

What happened to the dog they had? AB said in the 911 call that "the dog" woke him up barking. IIRC it was siad to be a pit bull. I guess someone has taken it somewhere else to care for - or maybe it just went to the pound.

Deal said Thursday that up to 30 law enforcement agents have returned to the site where the leg was found to search for more clues in the case.

BioMum said that over on the HM. She said they forged the document or something. There is a link to that page (HM) a few pages back I think.

My ex phoned my kids school up and said the same thing one day. I had a Family Court order with specific terms on it for our custody arrangement and it was sealed by the court, but my ex said I had forged it. Pretty easy thing to say.

I have full care of my 2 kids and their mother has nothing to do with them at all. If I left the country I could take my kids but if the court order said that she was to see them so often, I would be in breach of the order if I failed to make them available.

If biomum is the real deal, she should have filed for breach of orders years ago, even back when Z was in the news in Townsville with the Soldiers and Camp Quality.

It's probably a fake biomum and if it's not fake, she's no real mother to Z as she has never been in her life. AB didn't steal Z from biomum.

in the abc interview he said he went to check on a job than was doing yard work... I transcribed the interview... brb with the link

((fwiw it is what he "said"... but who knows what the truth is????))

Please support this assertation of fact with link?

Thank you in advance

I agree with the poster above regarding the "white bag". It's not a body or any remains or else it wouldn't be out there in the dirt alone.

They don't let evidence hang out that without a police officer or investigator to look over it.

Re: Zahra's mom. Please don't jump to conclusions about her not having custody. I lost custody of my son for a time (have him back now, 4 years and over $30,000 in legal fees later), am not a drug user, drinker, abuser, or any of the other standard things. Just unlucky enough to have been a stay-at-home mom who left an abusive controlling man and had no resources or way to fight at that time. Once I was back in the working world I lost no time retaining counsel and have accrued massive debt in order to get my son out of that situation. During that time I ran into another mom in a similar situation and she directed me to a support website for moms without custody. It would break your heart, these stories. I had to quit going there. Most of these women had lost custody due to situations where the abusive partner had the money and resources to keep the children out of spite. Not saying that is the situation with Zahra, just please don't rush to judgment. The automatic assumption that the mom keeps the children and if she doesn't have them she must not want them or must not be a fit mom is kind of sexist and outdated. More and more dads are challenging for custody, some because they don't want to pay child support, others because they want to hurt the mom, some because they truly feel they are the better parent.

More than one pit bull:

"Maria Claxton, of a local search dog team, led her dog behind crime scene tape and throughout the stacks of firewood and brush in the Bakers’ backyard while their pit bulls strained at their leashes and whined."

Thanks. So was AB driving?

According to interviews with BB, yes.

Yes, at the 1:35 mark in this video.

Lera 213...Great screencap. Thanks. What the heck is that??!!!

 

[SherlockHomey]

This says "Police said just two hours earlier Wednesday, the investigation brought them to a home along Christie Road in Caldwell County, where they found the prosthetic leg, "

"A home? I thought they said it was in the brush and according to the videos there were not many homes around there?

Is there anything to reference the size of the white item? I can't tell if it is a foot long or 6 feet long.

 

[epiphany]

Bulky---perhaps, equipment. Buried or waiting to use? Why leave it unattended (not that anyone's gonna zip in and run with it) if significant discovery?

 

[Lera213]

To clarify, it was left unattended so it is not Zahra. It most likely is a dog that was buried. To me the left end looks to be partially decomposed, almost can see the skeletal part. Think of a dog laying down, see the back end much bigger? The left end I see the outline of a possible skeletal dog remains.

The reason left alone? They called the previous owner, and had him confirm where they buried the dog, or called AB or EB, or other family member to verify where a dog was buried. This is why they left it off to the side.
