NC - Zahra Clare Baker, 10, Hickory, 9 Oct. 2010 #41

[impatientredhead]

Thank you, Etilema. That was what I was saying exactly. I have no authority whatsoever to say what can and cannot be discussed. Nor would I want it.

I apologize for quoting your post, I was responding more to a grouping of posts about the gory, graphic, and speculation that was starting to take place and that it was disrespectful or inappropriate.

I should have clarified that or just started an unquoted post.:blushing:

 

[Claudette]

My thoughts too.

Possible shallow grave. That was located outside of parameters of prior searches (kind of like mattress was), shallow enough to allow scavanger activity. Just speculating. JMHO

I like to think that Zahra is the reason LE is finding all of this stuff even though they weren't "supposed" to (as in, they found this stuff accidently). I mean think of all the cases that LE misses key pieces that keeps cases unsolved. She's getting her revenge

 

[LostInTheMyst]

For all we know, Zahra's cancer came back and she didn't want anymore treatment. It wouldn't be the first time 'parents' allowed a child to die per their wishes. Or even helping death along.

Course the furniture store lady saw her. Nevermind.

Well, it does sound like EB is helping to bring this to a close. At least she was good for that much.

What haunts me and I believe will continue to haunt me is the idea that we will never know. Was she ill? Was it "quick"? If she is not...whole...No one, not us, not her family, her loved ones, might ever know the truth. I hope with all my heart that whatever happened, happened quickly...
I held out hope for so long, trying to believe that there was some way this story might end differently...
my heart hurts.

I'd like to say thank you to all of you "strangers" for being here and allowing me to keep vigil with you. I am mostly silent, but I am here and knowing you are there......it helps.

I hope she believes in the lethal injection fairy, because she's going to meet him.

Let's hope so.

Caller: re wood chipper; wood chipper>then set fire to burn body?
MikeB: harder to burn body than peeps think---would have found some evidence of her remains
MikeB: the wood chipper has been cleared

BBM.

LE know where AB is. They are collecting evidence and putting together as much as they can before they act. Once LE acts and takes AB in for questioning or arrests him you can bet LE will have their ducks in a row.

LE are going to have some answers and AB's story is going to have to fit the facts ... if I was AB I'd be sweating with all this LE and FBI activity and preparing my story ... since it is obvious that EB will ensure AB takes the fall.

The good thing is EB's intent is known in the public domain thanks to her letters. AB is on notice and needs to fit his 'story' to what LE has.

Patience is a virtue. It also ensure AB sweats and does not know much of what LE has/knows.

I haven't pulled a statute, does NC require a grand jury indictment for a murder one arrest? We may not see him arrested for awhile, but he is not going anywhere.

And if they are going to put pressure on EB and AB to start spilling their guts this is a high pressure time for them to do so. It may be very strategic on their part that he is out. They know it annoys EB, and maybe it makes him more confident.

He was evicted yesterday.

Very interesting..Thank You! I had totally missed that! Sounds like his boss is a stand up guy from this report anyway..he doesn't sound like he has any use for AB, but cautions everyone anyway..hmmm..wonder if he is still AB's boss or not..I feel sure he's not working at the moment..but wonder IF he still has a job?

JVM covering.

 

[lauriej]

I know that I haven't been able to keep up, so I apologize in advance for asking...but, what's the last word than anyone has heard from AB? ..anything at all since he's been out? All I have read is that he has logged on to MS..have any locals or media heard a peep out of him other than that?

Here's an article on Forensic Anthropology ...of course much of it deals with a complete skeleton..but interesting none the less imo..

I like to believe that Zahra took the opportunity to run away from these two and is in hiding ... happy and safe. Why not? Maybe that place is not on this Earth...

Can anyone confirm that there were 2 ponds being drained today? And if so, were both completely drained?

Timer55 up and running JVM showing now. ETA: I got sound no visual. No big deal.

 

[impatientredhead]

So if Zahra is found just left in the area where the leg was, does that mean EB is lying about the horrifuc thing AB did after the fact? :waitasec:

Not that killing a child and leaving their body in the bush isn't horrific enough but I don't know that it would be what EB would describe as horrific.

MOO

I honestly think EB believed he used the woodchipper. Being the brains of the operation that was probably her directive. And him being a <modsnip> for a man (IMHO) he probably told her he carried out this "horrific" act, but then did something easier.

EB may have been very surprised to find the wood chipper was cleared. That tip came from one of them, and AB didn't seem to terrified when they were out there doing the search, so he knew it wasn't going to lead to any major discovery.

Her note to the web guy seemed shocked that AB was out and about and pissed off about it. I think she is surprised by a couple of the events that are unfolding.

Wonder if our locals are out there and will report back if its a media frenzy atm. I would think that LE telling them to back away that they are in the mind frame we are and that LE has found somehting major
