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.

Zahra Baker’s Prosthetic Leg Found

/in /by

Little 10-year old Zahra was reported missing by her step mom Elisa Baker on October 9, however, police have been unable to find anyone who has seen little Zahra in the weeks prior to this report.

Zahra Baker’s father, Adam Baker, was interviewed by the media shortly after his daughter was reported missing and he gave off many red flags that he isn’t being forthright with us. As the details emerge now, everyone is suspicious of the parents.

Police have since recovered a mattress, which they believe to have been Zahra’s which was discarded into the trash and police believe contains DNA. And now they have found Zahra’s prosthetic leg.

Zahra Baker’s Mattress Found

Last night on Nancy Grace, they got into a heated discussion about polygraphs and I was surprised to hear Nancy Grace’s opinions on them. She was saying that people should take them.

I can’t stress it enough. Polygraphs, as I have witnessed, are not reliable. I would much prefer to be subjected to a Truth Wizard than any polygraph. If I ever end up in a position to be asked to take one, my answer will be no, even if I am innocent as the light of day.

Adam Baker Arrested for Bad Checks

/in /by

Adam Baker, the father of missing Zahra Baker, was arrested this morning on five counts of writing bad checks and three counts for failure to appear in court. Baker is being held on a $7,000 bond. Zahra’s step-mom has also been arrested on unrelated charges to her disappearance, though police believe the likelihood that Zahra is alive to be slim. No one in little Zahra’s neighborhood had seen Zahra in the weeks prior to her disappearance. Family members are also speaking out that they witnessed Zahra being treated poorly. She wore a prosthetic leg and hearing aids due to cancer, and Zahra’s step mom, Elisa, used to yell at her for not walking fast enough.

Fox News reported that Adam Baker said about his missing daughter when he called 911, “My daughter, I think, is coming into puberty… so we only see her when she comes out and wants something.”

He thinks she is coming into puberty? As if that is an excuse! I believe Adam Baker knows what happened to his little girl and police must now be suspicious, too, because they have locked him up with the bad checks, like this did his wife, until they can find more evidence.

Elisa Baker’s Daughter Speaks

October 20, 2010 Press Conference
Catawba County Sheriff Tom Adkins and Caldwell County Sheriff Alan Jones

Investigators in the missing Zahra Baker case are currently searching a landfill for evidence in the case, though they say they do not expect to find Zahra’s body there. They said the search may take 5 days. The Sheriff said that “if we can find this evidence, we hope it will provide a good solid time line to assist us in working this case.”

Cheryl pointed out a good article that talks about Elisa Baker’s history and family. Her grown daughter, Amber Fairchild, came before the court to tell the judge that she believes her mom is a flight risk. Apparently, Elisa Baker, according to Fairchild, has been having an online relationship with a man in England (despite being married to Adam Baker) and has received $10,000 from this man. Fairchild also told the court that her mom talked of leaving North Carolina the day she was arrested.

Fairchild talked of having a difficult childhood. When asked if her mother, Elisa Baker “ever had a stable residence”, Fairchild said no.
