Furniture store employees put Zahra in Hickory two weeks before disappearance  (with video of furniture employees, also mentions another search last night in a home outside of Hickory)

HICKORY, N.C.--Employees of a furniture store in Hickory tell police they saw missing 10-year-old Zahra Baker shopping with her stepmom there two weeks before she disappeared.

"We have cartoons for children playing on the TVs... and she was standing in the aisleway. As I walked past, I just touched her on the shoulder and said ‘Excuse me, sweetheart’ and she just looked up at me and smiled," floor manager Pat Adams told NewsChannel 36.

Adams said another salesperson remembered Elisa Baker calling the little girl, "Zahra."

Other employees of the "In Your Home Furnishings" store on US-70 noted the little girl's prostetic leg.

"We saw on TV about the little girl was missing and we started talking about it, and that was who it was—the little girl," explained Israel Valle.

Police tell NewsChannel 36 this information is the only tip that confirms that Zahra Baker was ever in Hickory alive.

Her parents, Elisa and Adam, had moved to Catawba County this summer, but until receiving the phone call from "In Your Home Furnishings," Hickory police chief Tom Adkins said only the Bakers told them Zahra lived in their new home.

Investigators remain convinced that this is a homicide investigation. Elisa Baker faces a felony obstruction of justice charge for writing a ransom note police say was fake. Adam Baker has not been charged.

Investigators and cadaver dogs searched Zahra Baker's house in Hickory Friday with Adam's consent.

Outside, investigators say the dogs did not get a hit on blood, human remains or decomposition. Investigators did not say what they found inside the home.

NewsChannel 36 saw crews removing Zahra's mattresses and bed railings, saying search dogs will use these to constantly have her scent.

After the search, Adam Baker, who police say is cooperating, wasn't answering questions.

"Everybody knows more than I do," said Adam Baker.

Police also searched the Baker's former apartment in Granite Falls Friday

I googled -Child found in septic tank - because I remember a little 2 year old girl from a prominent family here in the Dallas area had gone missing a couple of years ago.  A major search had been conducted when they focused on the fact that the lid was off the tank, yes she was found. 
Reading through the many articles on this terrible subject, amazing how many have met their fate in similiar situations....children thru the elderly.   
As horrible a thought, it would eliminate the usefulness of scent dogs, buzzards in the air, freshly dug graves, etc.,   oh yuck, what the mind can imagine if you let it wonder, enough on the subject but I guess all possiblities have to be considered and I'm quite sure that all of the LE's have this possiblity on they're lists of "could haves"!

Klaas " oh no" she is wearing a CBB t-shirt .......  I have to laugh, or else I will cry.

She is a beast this One " Elisa" ... 

My Add, she doesn't look like Betty Crocker or a Babysitter -
 Let alone a Mama who would incorporate someone else's child into her life as her own. All is my opinion, based upon what has been said, what I have read and what I See in this photo.   

 

she reminded me of one of those folks in the  People of Walmart videos on UTube  at first glance..
no offense to Walmart shoppers...I am one too...but I have yet to be featured in one of their videos lol...

I have a secret fear I will be featured on people of walmart someday.

Who is this Aaron guy in relation to these awful peeps ? On his FB, he says Zahra had a horrible life for the past year. Says she didn't sleep in the attic ( I think it was the cats up there, Mims mentioned scratching ) . So he knew about the horrible life and NOW he lubs the girl ? OMG. Where was everone that knew this girl ?

[no rose colored glasses]

So only the employees at the furniture saw Zahra, and no neighbor at all saw her outside playing, or going to the car or nothing  They must have had her locked inside the house, and strange to me they took her to the furniture store.

beautiful picture of Z Brandi! love it..

Maybe the cats were left behind in the mobile home and no way to get out...could that be the strong odor that the neighbor smelled?  just a thought..

wouldn't it be something if Z was alive somewhere??
remember that story of that little girl whose mother said that she was missing..somewhere in Europe...and she was found hiding in a house of a friend of the mothers..they had concocted the story to get donations...this happened right after Madeleine McCann went missing and so much money came into the fund to find MM...
Wouldn't put anything past this evil SM...sigh...not really thinking that this is what happened with Z but one can hope right?

I remember that case Babskat.  I don't know how the sewage systems are in NC. I would think it's alot like here in Texas they have a lot of septic tanks. I pray the LE have thought about the what ifs like this. Especially after the neighbors reporting that they remember them coming home after dark.

I guess one of Elisa's ex husbands. How did he know where she slept? Was he over at the house alot?

I don't think the cats made the shoeprints on the door jamb- unless the cats names was Boots and Frankenstien....haha

Should've been easy enough to check- if it stunk up there-cats and closed spaces like to leave their calling cards, although I tend to agree with you.  I think there would have been more tell tale signs if Zahra actually stayed in the attic.

I don't think that Z slept in the attic..first of all because someone would have lifted her up there and out of there and that would have been too much trouble for SM and Dad..easier to just banish her to her room on the ground floor..jmo...

From pictures I have seen, he is actively involved in his step-daughters' lives, Elisa's daughters, Amber and Brittany.

I believe he is an ex-husband of Eliza.

His name is Aaron Young, now engaged to a "Kristy".

[Monkey King]

Yes, Brandi agreed.  I think he also is the man who spoke out in he posts on several sites claiming how they've all complained about Elisa to the authorites about her treatment of Zahra.
