Adam Baker Arrested for Bad Checks

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.

Adam Baker’s 911 call can be heard here. I’ll share my thoughts shortly.

Thanks, Noetic Soul, for the info!

Adam Baker 911 Call About Daughter Zahra

We get to hear Adam Baker here during his 911 call to police to tell them about his missing daughter, Zahra. It’s horrifying listening to it. He has no stress, no urgency in his voice whatsoever when he makes this call. Clearly, he is not worried about Zahra.

It turns my stomach.

Contrary to what the attorney says to Nancy Grace in this interview, his greeting to the dispatcher is very significant. It has huge meaning. People behave in predictable ways given certain circumstances. It’s flat out inconsistent to take time out for social graces after an arsonist just lit the backyard on fire and your daughter is missing and in supposed serious danger. It’s pure rubbish!!

While I didn’t believe Adam Baker when I first reviewed him here, this nails the coffin closed for me. This man needs to be held accountable in his daughter’s disappearance. He knows exactly what happened to her.
