Zahra Baker Search and Recovery Effort and Input

[tehcloser]

Maybe we need two search threads, one to discuss the latest news and one for mapping.

1st post but my heart breaks for this child.

Even if you are lazy or unfeeling or just don't give a darn, I can't imagine what it takes to dismember a human being. That is a level of sick that goes beyond understanding. I can't watch gore at the movies...I can't imagine what mentality it takes to consider and execute a plan such as this.

To live in a home with two people capable of such behavior shows this child never had a chance.

Oh Wagara, in the midst of such sadness, thank you for posting and becoming a member of WS.

Whoa, let's remember, unless you can back it up with msm it is a rumor, let's not go there!

Of course, as unreliable as MSM has been, we should require MSM to verify where they got their information, too, I think. If only we could!

Maybe... I didn't realize I was stepping on any toes. I was just responding to passionflower's comments, which I quoted in my rebuttal.

Ziiiiiiiippppppppp! Back to lurkin'!

Looking at the little dirt road that leads to the creek, there seems to be boulders blocking the creek flow on this side. I don't know which way the creek flows though...anyone care to venture a guess?

Excuse my ignorance,I am new here,when you guys say "MSM", do you mean the news media?

 

[tehcloser]

I know I think we are all confused Gibby. Posters want this thread just for mapping and I understand that, but IDK if we can have two search threads and there are those of us that would like to be able to discuss the searches so IDK. They have done an AWESOME job with the mapping, but where do we discuss it?

yes main stream media

Dave Faherty (WSOC) also confirming police found something today...said he knew something was up around 1:00 pm. Search was supposed to end about that time, but instead, media were asked to clear out. LE may be on scene overnight.

Searchers were using paddles in murky, cold water looking for Zahra's remains. Same place police checked 3 weeks ago when EB was brought there with LE. They are searching 1/2 mile either direction, and there are evidence markers where animal bones were found.

Says Zahra's biological mother is soon to be on her way here!

Very respectfully BBM

If Dave Faherty is indeed reporting this and if it is accurate, then may ED find strength and support from those near her as she recovers the remains of her baby girl.

Dignity and concealing the body of a child don't go hand in hand. jmo


There is nothing dignified about concealing a death of a child and not laying them to rest with the love and respect any human deserves.

A child is not a pet that you bury in the backyard (or underground anywhere you think they won't be found)
A child is not trash.

People even bury their beloved pets with greater dignity. And here is a human child who deserved to have her recently-departed body bathed and clothed in a pretty dress for her proper burial. Her beautiful head laid on a soft white silk pillow. I also cannot imagine how a parent can treat their child's body like this. It is a very very very spiritually and emotionally-sick person who can just throw out their child's body.

I think that discussing what's going presently with searches is absolutely applicable here. I just don't want all the other stuff to clutter up the great work that is being done here. This thread has really stayed on topic, it's been amazing and the work everyone is doing is amazing.

What is striking me is how they keep referring to what they found today as "the item". "Item"? I wouldn't refer to a human being, or part of one, as an "item". I would expect if it were Zahra they'd found they'd say "we've made a discovery" or even "we've found evidence"... but "we've found an item"? Nope. MOO of course.

Their attorney will argue that the Pagan Religion they follow this is how they BELIEVE to honor the death. I can see a sick person and a defense trying to argue that.

Wouldn't she have to wait quite a while, though, before the remains would be released to her once they are found? I would guess they would intensely test the remains and maybe want to keep them frozen for a time until all the evidence they can gain from them is gotten. My heart breaks so much for her having to do such a thing. I hope this report is accurate, too, and we are getting very near recovering Zahra's body.

Hey ynot

They've got the video of the report up on the website now. He talks about Zahra's mom beginning at 1:55. Says she could possibly be here within the next 24 hours. I'm glad she's coming!

@MKat,
don't know if it helps but the creek flow will be going from above the bridge @burns & dudley intersection in the direction of the black looking pond SAR refered to earlier?

I suppose they will have to because there really isn't anyplace else to get a defense for such an act, huh?

It's been a great thread, like I said you guys have done AWESOME, but what SOME might consider CLUTTER, OTHERS want to discuss.........lol.

Most roads that have been mapped and explored have the dirt blocking access.
How would AB/EB gain access to the area where the new picture showed the searchers were bagging something if the dirt had been blocking the road?
If they backed up to the dirt, maybe someone spotted their vehicle sitting there while they were disposing of the evidence?

 

[nursebeeme]

iirc, one of the media links (buried in all the threads) said that ((when looking for the mattress)) that they had a ~list~ of items to look for

fwiw
