NC - Zahra Clare Baker, 10, Hickory, 9 Oct 2010 - #4

Did anyone say how long Zahra was abused???
Since they got married or just recently???

 

[Fairy1]

They called family services. They tried.

I just don't believe that's enough, I'm sorry. I don't have the type of disposition that would make it possible for me to sit by and wait for someone else to save a child who I witnessed being harmed in any way. I would venture to say many other WS'ers simply would not - could not -stand for it either.

I fear our society has taken the terroristic "No Snitching" philosophy to a frightening level. When humans, and particularly children, are being abused, it is the business of anyone and everyone in a position to help them. That clearly did not happen here, as is too often the case.

And here we are, once again, following the horrific details of the tragic life and death of another precious, innocent baby who could have been saved but instead was failed by so many.

I don't think so unless there was decomp on it. Also I don't believe metal pieces in the prosthesis would make it through the woodchipper. MOO

I do think certain metals would make it through a wood chipper or even a fire (with accelerant) for that matter. Titanium or a couple other steel componants they are some strong stuff. Everything else would be gone.

The dogs hitting on things- if the dogs hit on a piece of machinary that was running recently- I'm not sure I would trust that. If they were HRD dogs hitting on pieces/particles/evidence, whatever that might have come from machinary wise- then I think I would trust that.

Doctor:
had bone cancer-surgery to remove bulk of tumor and chemo agents
both chemo agents and possibly antibiotics used for surgery>loss of hearing

chemo may have affected bone marrow so easy bruising, but constant abuse>physical and mental [consequences]

Did I hear NG say Zahra's room was EMPTY????

Empty?? as if she had never even been there?? I have a feeling that she never even lived in the current residence, this thing with the woodchippe has me absolutly disgusted, how could they?? And yes I feel its the both of them!! Still dry here in Charlotte

I am so angry.:furious: Will try to keep this brief. I have 2 questions. Apologies if they have already been addressed but I am having a hard time just keeping up with you guys!

1. Does anyone else see a bruise on her left cheekbone at about 1:28 in this video from May 2010? http://charlotte.news14.com/content/top_stories/625689/groups-donate-hearing-aids-to-81-people

2. Someone PLEASE tell me the little boys have been removed from this home!

It looks like a bruise to me. Center of her cheek, round in shape, fairly blue-ish.

I hadn't seen that video yet. Seeing her speak, and smile...makes this even more heartbreaking.

"She's determined. She wants to go to college." from the sm....unbelievable.

Is that true???

It wouldn't surprise me at this point.

She had a taser? How do we know this, was it posted somewhere?

One of the warrants she was arrested on was for threatening an adult family member and that adult family member's infant child with a taser.

NG had neighbor to current search location on describing police activity this afternoon/evening.

I can't believe Elisa wrote the ransom note! <sick> Hypothesis-Is it possible Zahra was deceased earlier on (about a month). Elisa talked to the family, maybe they inquired about Zahra, then Elisa and I believe the husband panicked and created this story to cover their tracks. The woodchipper was an afterthought, and then the ransom note was written.

My guess would be that she was dead by the time her last school was notified that she was going to be homeschooled this year, and presumably that was no later than around the first few days of this school year. The idea of claiming to homeschool her had to be an afterthought, devised to cover either her death or such severe abuse that she couldn't possibly be sent to school without the abuse being discovered. There's no way either AB or the SM had any interest in or intention of homeschooling this or any other child. Something really bad had already happened when they came up with this idea.

[nobodyspecial]

Did I hear NG say Zahra's room was EMPTY????

I wonder if this is what was alluded to earlier about not believing what was found in the home...?
