Possible Human Remains Found and DNA Testing

[SherlockHomey]

Little Lulu,
Zahra is completely whole again!! We need to focus on that and not what was cast aside.
I've relayed this story before,but it might help.
After my son died I got some books for my ,then ,five year old to help him process his brother's death.One book was called "The Light of Stars" by Phyllis Glowatsky.
A girl is walking on the beach with her dog when she comes upon starfish washing up on shore.She spends the afternoon trying to help save them by throwing them back into the ocean,only to have the starfish wash up again.
As darkness falls and the stars come out ,the girl gives up ,but wonders why they have to die.Her wise little dog explains to her that the starfish were once stars in the sky ,but they saw the joy of the whales and sea animals ,and wanted to experience it for themselves. When they were done ,and ready to return to the heavens,they had to cast off their heavy earthly body in order to once again become a shining light in the sky.They had always intended to leave their bodies behind because they weighed them down.All she had to do was look at the night sky to see how bright the stars shine.

Whenever I hear of a child's body being discarded ,like trash,I try to remember they no longer need that body.They have a much better one now!

As horrific as Zahra's death is,I'm so glad EB and AB can no longer hurt her.
I wish EB could be sentenced to endure what she put Zahra through.

OT but I wanted to say that I am so sorry about your child.

So incredibly sad. We all knew this was coming, yet it being .002% away from becoming 'official'...... For some reason I had held onto the tiniest bit of hope EB had hidden her away for some twisted need for attention.

Zahra I'm so sorry... RIP sweetie. Justice will be served, no doubt.

Omg Zahra's Mom reading letters left at the memorial site
That was heartbreaking :cry:
eta: It was on Hln

So Emily is here. Welcome to the USA, Emily, and I am so sorry that your visit is under these extremely tragic circumstances. :heart: Zahra and her story have obviously had a huge impact on so many people who never got to know her. My heart breaks for you and Zahra.

I read on another site that several Hickory locals offered to let Emily stay with them when she comes, and I sure hope that she took the offers, even if "just" to have contacts in the area for support (and transportation). Maybe she didn't travel alone, but if it were me, I would certainly appreciate the support. It's an expensive trip and I have no doubt that someone or some group(s) pitched in to help with her expenses.

just under three more hours til presser. I should really get some housework done but I cannot tear myself away. My husband does not understand my devotion to these cases and Websleuths is the only way I have to feel the connection of sadness and grief we all share.

I'm so sorry to hear this, and wish she could have been found, happily, somewhere. This little girl is such a lovely little person. I'm so sorry that this had to be.
My thoughts and prayers and some love and light to all who loved this very special young girl. May you walk on stars, little one, and find your way to heaven.

You are not alone...that's for sure!

she's here with a tv crew from oz. They are putting her up in hotels, feeding her, etc.

My husband doesn't either. He told me last night how much he can't stand Nancy Grace and thought this was very unhealthy for me to be following these sad cases, as I work with so much sadness during the day. I told him that sometimes people are found safe, sound and well.

 

[Adrienne37]

IA with the above. I think it has been determined that the bone is unrelated to Z.

Can you please link in MSM where the bone that was found is not related to Zahra? I haven't this reported anywhere. TIA.

 

[LadyL]

even when we know the truth, our hearts hold onto that tiniest bit of hope and now that last hope is gone

I'm so sad right now

RIP Zahra

 

[tlcya]

and those that are not found safe, sound, well, deserve a witness to their last suffering here on earth and someone to celebrate their peace as they move on in their journey, and finally someone to cry out for justice in their name.

Your hubby and mine are on the same page and it feels as if you and I are also on our own page.

My dh is the same way. I texted him this morning when I got up and he was like...OK. He doesn't understand that we do get attached to these missing kids. Maybe part of it is being a mother, and thinking what would happen if it happened to us. It's debatable, but I believe mothers have a stronger bond with their children.

Gosh, she is such a beautiful angel. I liked how someone put it. Hardly ever in our lives do we feel such deep sadness and terrible anger. I'm angry she was abused, killed, and that her "dad" is out of jail.

One thing I will never understand, ever, even if it's money, I still don't get it. Why did they even BOTHER to bring her back from OZ

no link. The "I think" portion of my post was meant to convey that this is my thoughts on the matter and not reported, confirmed or linkable. Sorry my post was unclear, usually I am very good about adding in the IMO MOO etc but today I am very upset and not thinking as clearly.

Again my apologies for any confusion.

 

[swedishfish]

Yes, his latest tweet does mention not to expect arrests right away.

I can't copy word for word as it's against TOS.

BBM

As ANGRY as I am that AB is walking around, free. I trust in LE to dot all their i's and cross all their t's to build a case that will send him and EB to death.

Usually I'm not a big supporter of the DP, but in this case, the crime was just so heinous, it is the ONLY fitting punishment.

IMO

 

[essies]

In this clip from the Australian news crew with Emily it says that LE is being "utterly protective" of her. I'm sure LE fell in love with Zahra as we all did and are having an even harder time dealing with all their emotions than we are as they are privy to things that we just speculate over.
I pray for them all-including the town of Hickory and the children of Hickory-it must be so difficult for the little ones to process their feelings. I know I'm having a difficult time!

RIP ZAHRA
Ive cried so much today I couldnt see to type. Not that this is a suprise but just knowing the inkling of a chance is gone hit hard. This baby has been hurt by every adult in her life. I just dont understand that. Yet she came through it all with that beautiful smile on her face. That to me shows GREATNESS. There is a reason for everything, I dont even pretend to understand it, Zahra was a winner in everything she did. Her strenght was astounding. She is my new HERO.
I want justice to come for Zahra so bad.

Thanks tlcox, I was just wondering if there was something that I missed this morning in all this confusion about the media's choice of words in this case. It does make it terribly confusing when trying to follow along. Thanks again.

That was the draw to her for me, that precious smile, regardless of the crud she's been through in her short life.

This is the first case that really really hit my heart. Well Kyron too. I even watch NG for those angels. Usually she annoys me with her interrupting, and news remixes. :innocent:

I'm sure that no matter where this tragedy occurred, LE would be protective of a mother in such obvious grief. Having said that, here in the south, chivalry is such a huge part of our heritage/culture...it's just something we hold close to our hearts. So, as a southerner, this makes me particulary proud to see.

(Hope that comes off the way I mean it...words are coming hard today.)
