Adam Baker Speaks Out

/in /by

Adam says in a very soft tone, “There is no way I would hurt my daughter.” That’s a hot spot for me. Why does he say it so softly? Often times when people are dishonest, their voice gets very faint at key times.

When asked if he took part in Zahra’s dismemberment, he said, “No, there is no way I could do that to my baby.” If you look, he makes an expression of contempt at that point. While he is contemptuous, it doesn’t tell us the reason, which is key. Is he mad that he is being questioned, or indignant he has to even answer that? He just continues to speak in a very soft tone, which is notable.

We know from what he told us in the past few weeks that he knew Zahra was dead. And he likely knew what happened to her, or he would have been demanding answers from Elisa by going to the police, which he didn’t do. He defended Elisa and went along with her game as long as he could and still doesn’t want to reveal what he knows. But I cannot tell from this video if he did anything to harm his daughter, or just covered up the act of an insane woman. I would need to see more to make a final opinion. One hot spot is not enough to form an opinion.

Logic tells me if he covered for Elisa, he was capable of doing more, but I don’t have enough clues to go on right now.

Thanks, Catlady.

Court Docs: Zahra Baker was dismembered

/in /by

News outlets are reporting that court documents filed today in the Zahra Baker case state that Zahra was dismembered and that her step-mom Elisa lead police to three different locations where her remains were found.

Elisa wrote letters from jail in an attempt to clear herself, however, those letters were very inconsistent. She wrote “We really didn’t kill her, but what he [Adam Baker] did after the fact is kinda horrifying.”

How do you really not kill someone? It’s ridiculous rhetoric.

And how can something be “kinda” horrific? It tells you what Elisa really thought. It’s gut-wrenching!

Sadly, we know that Adam Baker worked in the landscape business, so we can a pretty good guess at what ultimately happened to poor little Zahra. I can’t even repeat what that is. It’s unfathomable there are people who can be so disconnected from life and could do that to a poor defenseless little child, let alone their own child. I get sick thinking about it.

May they bring these parents to swift justice!! I think Adam knows more than he told us in his original press interview. It will be interesting to see who is held accountable now.

Thanks, hmm, for the update.

Zahra Baker’s Remains Found

/in /by

Zahra Bakers remains have been positively identified according to Fox news. What horrible news, though I think everyone knew what the outcome would be. Let’s hope that there is swift justice in this case.

There is a a scheduled press conference this afternoon at 4:00 PM.

Thanks, Cheryl!

Zahra Baker’s Bio Mom: Emily Deitrich

/in /by

My ThoughtsWhen I watch Zahra’s bio mom, Emily, I think she is distraught about her daughter’s situation. There is no doubt about it. Her lip quivers as she says, “I never got to say goodbye.” Her forehead shows genuine stress, though I don’t see any tears. Later I do think she is genuinely crying. I see a tear and smudged makeup. She also sniffles.

When the video shows Emily walking through the gardens talking to the reporter, her pain seems to be an afterthought, which is odd. Is she one to live in the moment? We do have to remember that she has been far removed from her daughter for years so she doesn’t have the day-to-day memories most mothers have, so her reminders are not as constant for a mother who provides full-time care.

Emily says she doesn’t feel that her daughter is alive, and that is a fair statement for her to make considering the news that no one has seen Zahra in a long while, that her prosthetic leg was found without Zahra, etc. so that is not a red flag for me. Emily makes sense that hearing the way Zahra was treated, thinking she is still alive hurts more. That is a compassionate statement.

At 1:25, she gives an incredible macro expression of anger. Its intense. Her lip stays tense as she says with another macro expression of disgust, “I can’t explain the anger, the hurt, I don’t…he had no right to do any of it, to keep her from me.”

My heart goes out to little Zahra. She didn’t have a fighting chance from the day she was born.

Thanks, Ava, and all the people who sent me this update.

Matt Baker: Web Extra from 48 Hours

/in /by

Here are two fascinating web extras from last week’s 48 Hours.

Erin Moriarty puts Matt Baker on the spot. Watch him give excuses!!

Here we see Vanessa Bulls talk about what she knows. Her demeanor is so detached and clearly she is giving us a “story”. I love how she tells us “It never got inappropriate or anything.” Yeah, right! She says at another point, “I though it was a little weird having a dead person’s cell phone, but I thought, well, it’s not like…he’s not married anymore. You know what I mean? He’s…he’s not married, so that shouldn’t make me look bad or anything like that.”

Hopefully no one has their doubts about Matt Baker anymore. Vanessa Bulls finally decided to tell the truth after some horrifically poor judgment on her behavior.
