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

Maybe I should have clarified. Did Zahra ask for the color or was EB experimenting?

I don't think that we've ever heard whether she wanted it or not. It is pretty common these days so it would not surprise me if Z had requested it.

 

[branwynbreeze]

Are my eyes deceiving me or has Zahra's hair been color chunked in this photo? Who color chunks a ten year old child's hair?

Oh wait... the reason is right behind her.

EB cannot pay her bills, but they have their hair done?

Shaking my head with roots that could use a touch up, but more important things for my $ at moment.

Oh, it has nothing to do with being able to stomach it, I just don't find it all that productive. To date she is still on NCMEC and that means she is still missing. To me that means I want to keep scouring and collecting as much information as I can to find her. To me, everytime it turns this way, that search comes to a grinding stop and precious time is lost. That's what I was trying to say.

 

[Pondering Mind]

In the Caylee Anthony case, after 51/2 months she was completely skeletonized and if I recall correctly there were sites that explained human decomp and the stages. I just do not think it is Zahra, unless of course she went "missing" much earlier. Let me see if I can find a link.

I don't think that a body would be completely skeletonized *naturally* in this length of time..but depending on the animal activity involved I think it's very possible..hopefully we'll know something for sure soon..

 

[RoseTree]

With zero intent of being snippy, that is the great thing about this board. For those that don't like the rollercoaster/debate/speculation there is generally a media thread where you can keep up with the daily announcements, and a support thread where kind words about the missing can be shared with those that find comfort in that community bond.

We all have things we can stomach reading. My weak spot is animal cruelty. I skip right over those stories, they are traumatizing to me in a way that is not productive at all. I know some posters skip the child pornography cases because the details keep them awake at night.

I'm new here and all, but isn't that what it's about? Didn't we all come here because we were thinking- and this place allows us to think via text?

ETA: Sorry Impatientredhead, I meant quote the person you were quoting.

Wonder if you can tell if the bone belongs to a bone cancer survivor with a simple x-ray or something.

I just spent a couple minutes trying to google an answer for that. Didn't come up with one and had to quit looking.... it's just to sad.

Interesting thought though.

I hope you don't mind if I butt in here. I by no means am a medical professional but as a cancer survivor, the only way someone could tell on me would be my radation markers (tattoed dots). I have been told though, that radiation can weaken the bones where the treatment was but one wouldn't know until they had a broken bone(s). With that said, I've never read or heard what Zahra's treatment was besides the surgery.

If you click on the user name, you can look at all posts by that user (much like we can do here on WS)

I'd say EVERY post by that user is very interesting.

Calls EB Lisa. Like someone who knows her would do.

JMO

Yeah his/her posts are interesting.

 

[Lera213]

I'm going to stand by my theory and I think I might have some of the smaller details wrong but I'm holding firm. Well no longer elaborate, when the facts comes out then I'll know.

 

[grayjay]

The overnight moratorium could also be in place to help LE finish up overnight by the light of the ALS. And maybe, one can hope and dream it, to insure they're ready for a big reveal tomorrow. They've done a superb job on this nasty, horrible case, and it seems to be blown wide open before our eyes even if we can't see a thing yet.

 

[peg4x4]

I actually looked at a couple pics closely for that and didn't see any evidence of- not that that means anything. They usually remove after a year or so though, in kids. When it's easier to just do a blood draw every few months or whatever than having to flush a port.

My port is still there,as the Dr says the cancer will reoccure.. I'd think hers is still there. Mine can't be seen.

 

[Soul125]

So first we're sure she's gone through the woodchipper out at the landscaping yard?
Then we're sure that she's been sunk in a monte carlo in some body of water?
Then we're sure that she's in pieces in the yard in the other mulch pile?
Then we're sure that she's in the dump?
Then we're sure she's been burnt in the fire?
Then we're sure she's alongside the road (when the chopper was in are of leg days ago)
Then we're sure she's in the pond that's being drained?
Then we're sure she's on the side of the road again because a bone has been found?
Oh wait, she might have been stuffed in the walls?
Or in the fridge?
Or under the floorboards?
(Because they've cut the house to pieces)

Not trying to put down any of these theories, because they all have basis, but do you see what I am getting at? How many times over the last 3 weeks have we (I use that generally) been positive about it and then, here we are, still looking, still guessing. (and maybe there is some that still feel that she was found days or weeks ago and this is all just a big cover up for whatever reason, I don't know). I really feel that jumping to conclusions without any real basis is just getting everyone wound up and setting up for failure if you will. It's emotional enough, but this just makes it more of an emotional rollercoaster. JMO

If we didn't speculate and talk about theories what would be the point of this forum? All we would do is post media links. That would be like a news archieve, but there would be no fun in it. This case is horrible and can depress even the most upbeat person, but crime is usually dark to begin with. I enjoy the speculation myself as it offers so many different theories from people smarter than I, that my brain couldn't think of. But that's just me. :angel:

bbm~

I have felt that way often in different cases..then I have to tell myself that's everything is *relative* really...what one person considers important another considers 'fluff'...Imagine if we all did think alike, that's what I believe would be unproductive..jmho though..

 

[Lera213]

Yeah his posts are interesting.

Agree entirely, and perhaps this is the SAR perspective- but since this is a discussion board and we can discuss as we see fit within TOS- I am going to make a point from a SAR perspective. We want to FIND THIS CHILD. I realize we ALL want to find this child, but do ya'll realize how much more productive it would be to discuss and investigate Zahra's case (or any MP's case for that matter) with focus on actually finding this child? Is that not the point of this forum? Zahra, and where she is? We will know a whole lot more once we find her. So perhaps a bit more discussion on where she might be would be helpful. JMO, of course.
Freedom of speech is fine and ya'll can talk about whatever you like- I sure as heck can stomach it- but there are LEO's, SAR, crime scene investigators, and a lot of other investigative bodies on the ground working like crazy to find this child. Any help in that specific department I think would be greatly appreciated by them all.

 

[Pugnolia]

`snipped`

Deal said investigators are not necessarily finished with the area.

"We are going back until we're satisfied we've recovered everything," he said.

The sheriff’s office blocked off Christie Road while it was conducting its search. After the bone was discovered, that changed the nature of the investigation along the roadway, said B.J. Fore, public information officer for the sheriff’s office.

“It’s a crime scene now,” he said.

I totally get your frustration and I have felt it with some of the more salacious speculation. But, I have learned those specualtions will always be a part of the threads. That is the double edged sword of WS. We are all chasing our own theories (tails) and throwing it out there in some form or fashion. Some are chasing the social network aspect, to them, it is key. Some are chsing the how/where were Z's remains disposed of, to them, it is key right now. Some are trying to anticipate the legal manuvering tha is about to begin in earnest, to them, that is key.

When things i here take a turn I don't care to participate in, I just skim right over those posts, they do their thing. I look for some post that speaks about anyting BUT that thing in which I am uninterested in, and use it as a springboard to try to spark a debate, theory on that. The tide of the thread conversation often turns away from what doesn't appeal to my specifc interests.

 

[Wondergirl]

Yeah his posts are interesting.

At 8:00 am this morning, Jameson said the case was going to blow wide open today. I didn't read that anywhere else.

What they post on that site rings true to me, I have now read all their posts. A bit of speculation thrown in, but there are alot of things there, that make sense.

MOO

Hi folks,
Don't post much but am following along with the rest of you. Just wanted to ask if this the "J" from the JBR case years ago. I could swear she lived in Hickory. Maybe HER ?????

Lera, I was just jumping off your post
