Scratch that, I cannot edit the post with the photo in it now. The thread it locked because it's been closed.

Sherbie, why do your postings not have a thanks button for me to press?

 

[Patty G]

Sorry. I can't find the post where I embedded the photo to change it. Can you link it to me? I cannot change the way people embed it. They need to use the link for the smaller image. I will change the photo if you can link it back for me...

The poster that embed the photo in post 392 has to change it.

Wouldn't burning attract alot of attention? I would think there would be very heavy smoke, and a very distinctive odor.

I was thinking that too.

If there was a fire in the back yard could it be possible that LE might have received more than one 911 call for this fire.

Paint brushes ???? weird item to bag and tag

This is OT but when I was going through the photos last night, I saw this agent staring at me from all the way into the front of the yard. His eyes gave me chills.

Yes these are paintbrushes. They were in the yard and marked by the pink flags he is carrying.

Deputy Police Chief Clyde Deal told Eyewitness News when this case first became a homicide investigation, his detectives had to search to the areas with the "highest probability" where they'd find Zahra's body, based on the "strongest leads." Deal said they recently obtained a search warrant to dig up the backyard not because they were looking for "the smoking gun," but because of two new leads he hopes will yield important evidence. That search warrant has been sealed, police said.

I am really concerned this new search isn't going to turn up much of anything. I am starting to think that Zahra was not killed or in the home when she was dead. They ARE using HRD dogs now ... and those dogs would have led them to everything they needed by now. IMO

Since the yard sides on to a business area, I would imagine garbage such as bottles etc, would pile up at least along the edge of the property.

What I am curious about is why so many large trees seem to have been cut down on the property? Was that part of the deal for AB living in the house, to help clear some specific trees that the owner needed cleared?

I'm sure he didn't cut them down himself but there was obviously a lot of wood back there to take care of after they came down.

Yes these are paintbrushes.

Maybe they repainted her room. If so and there was blood they would be in the paint brushes.

 

[Sherbie]

Sherbie, why do your postings not have a thanks button for me to press?

I dunno, SH. I have that happen sometimes where the thanks button disappears on every post on the page. When I refresh the page, the buttons usually reappear, though.

This was even better! :dance:

You do not need to go resize all those photos. We can resize as we post them or live with whatever size they turn out to be...not a big deal.

How are you able to show the photos of Zarah to KB; are you a friend/relative?

ETA: Found the answer to my question here:

I am a relative of Zahra from KB's family tree. Appologies for not being overly descriptive of the relationship, now or even when I joined WS. Tricia has plenty of information from me and I have no problem confirming additionally to this website owner.

 

[SherlockHomey]

I am getting confused with the initials, who is KB?

I thought they used cadaver dogs the day the bed was taken out both inside and outside the house.

After that, the house was released. :waitasec:

netsleuther, I'm so incredibly sorry for the hurt I know you're all feeling. Please let Zahra's grandmother and all the others in Oz who love Zahra know that we are thinking of and praying for all of you. :hug:

 

[Sherbie]

AB's mother, Zahra's paternal grandmother.

 

[netsleuther]

How are you able to show the photos of Zarah to KB; ?

Just to explain how I showed KB the photos. I sent her the link which was posted here to the HM site where the photos were via her FB message inbox. I asked KB if she could confirm if the photo's were of Z or just anyone. KB confirmed to me that the photo's were of Z.

This coming Monday, the Catawba County Grand Jury convenes at ten o'clock. Sources say it is possible that Baker could face more charges later that day.

Which Baker? EB, AB, or both?

oh sorry, KB is AB's mother AKA Z's grandmother.

Thanks for letting us now your relationship to Zahra netsleuther. My sympathies to you and your family regarding this tragedy. I'm sure it must be very difficult for you to think that AB might have had something to do with this. FWIW, I still have not given up on his possible innocence.
