at appox 1:40 in the video, Dave says "that evidence is human remains, but not an entire body."

HLN now: reporter just stated source told HLN affiliates human remains found yesterday, but police will not confirm

Makes me think it's something you can tell instantly, just by looking, is human. Skull? Possible whole ribcage?

(Oh man, makes me sick to even type that.)

My first thought: Torso.

I've been leaning towards skull myself, it's the only 'human remain' I can think of that would be instantly recognisable - well to me at least.

Even skulls can sometimes be hard to recognize, as silly as that sounds. The skulls of children break up into sections very easily. If it wasn't a whole skull (like the way we picture a "skull"), then it might still take some time to verify as human, etc.

Not a whole body, thats making me so angry.

It wouldn't have to mean that. After this length of time, it might be animals, or weather.

There are no flight restrictions in place today.

Was just speaking in generalities..but thank you.

Noon report:
It shows good shots of the "large hole" they removed "evidence" from yesterday, if anyone wants to get screen caps of it.

Thursday's disclosure comes amid reports on CNN that police have identified a "person of interest" in the case, which has attracted attention around the world.

Maybe I'm not reading this correctly. Reports of a different POI, or are they talking about EB? She's been a person of interest for quite some time, so what reports are they referring to?

Would not make me any less angry as she was still dumped and in a position to be taken away by animals..

According to NG (I know, I know) they should be able do this type of testing in 24 hours. Perhaps the mother coming in for testing is what they need. I do wonder if they have approached the father in regards to DNA.

With the bio mom they could do mitochondrial DNA which IIRC is less complicated and I guess therefore quicker? That would be enough to know it is Zahra even though they'd likely still follow it up with full DNA testing for the record.

 

[WhyaDuck?]

People can start a new thread on the POI report from CNN, if desired, so you guys can comb through what is meant there.

 

[epiphany]

Combined with reporting that results from testing (likely bone from last week's discovery) came in yesterday as well>not a leap why Mom is in NC now. IMO, perhaps, skull discovered yesterday.

SNIPPED:

Meanwhile, Hickory Police received some test results from the SBI on Wednesday. Authorities wouldn't say what the results were for, but it's possible they were related to a bone found in the Christie Road location last week.

Perhaps the part where he says 'not an entire body' could point to Zahra afterall considering she only had one leg. That would make for 'not an entire body'

UGHH!

 

[strach304]

They should have the results from the bone found last week by now. Can anyone tell me where these remains found yesterday are in relation to the bone found last week?

 

[Mountain_Kat]

Not seeing animal scatter all the way from Ekard (bone) to Dudley Shoals/Burns intersection (human remains). That's quite a distance.

Did MSM articles report anything about a POI? I haven't read all the articles yet. :blushing:

 

[WillenFan21]

Guys I think its going to be legit. Zahra's mom is heading to the states. I feel so sad for this little girl.

Creek at intersection of Dudley Shoals Rd. and Burns Rd. was the find from yesterday. Long way from Ekard Pl.
