Baker appeared in court Wednesday morning for the felony charges and he was given a court-appointed attorney. A probable cause hearing was set for May 4 and Baker was held on a $10,000 bond.

Adam Baker somber in court appearance on felonies

As Baker walked into the courtroom in lime green scrubs, chains clanking around his ankles and wrists, he surveyed the courtroom and sighed. He sat into the jury box and waited for the judge to call his name on the docket. He did not look at his mother, Karen, who was sitting in the last row of the gallery with a friend.

Mullinax read the two new charges Baker is facing: one count of felony identity theft and one count of felony obtaining property by false pretense.

“The maximum possible punishment is 30 months,” District Court Judge Robert Mullinax told Baker

Adam Baker faces new charges, can't leave U.S.
By: Jennifer Moxley

Police say Baker used James Starbucks' name and Social Security number to get power with Duke Energy. Starbuck married the daughter of Adam's wife, Elisa Baker, who is charged with murder in her stepdaughter's death.

The crimes allegedly happened in August. Police said a report was filed in December.

While police commented Wednesday about the recent charges, they wouldn't say if Baker is still being investigated in connection to Zahra's death.

“We're not going to talk about anything today except for the case that he had his court appearance on this morning,” said Deal.

Businesses raising money for playground in memory of Zahra Baker

ICKORY, NC (WBTV) - Three grocery stores in Hickory are joining with the Kiwanis Club to sell support cards for the Zahra Baker All-Children's playground.

Baker is the 10-year-old girl who was reported missing by her father, Adam, last October. Several weeks later, her dismembered body was found in Caldwell County. Zahra's stepmother, Elisa, has since been indicted on second-degree murder charges in connection with Zahra's death. Read related story about charges now filed against Adam Baker.

Three Fresh Air Galaxy grocery stores are now selling support cards for $1, $5 and $10 to raise funds to building the playground in memory of Zahra.

"We are very excited that Galaxy Foods has taken the initiative in this project and hope it will serve as a roadmap for other businesses to get involved," said Lanny Huffman, President of the Hickory Kiwanis Club. "As the Kiwanis Club and Kiwanis community, we find it a wonderful challenge and commitment to raise money for this cause."

CATAWBA COUNTY, N.C. -- The father of 10-year-old Zahra Baker is no longer being held at the Catawba County Jail but it’s unclear exactly where Adam Baker is now.

Authorities said Baker was picked up recently by immigration officials, but U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said he is not currently in its custody.

Citing privacy issues, ICE spokesman Temple Black would not confirm whether immigration agents took Baker into custody or whether he was released.

Federal prison records list an Adam Baker in custody at a federal prison in Anthony, Texas, but show that person has been in custody since 2009.
