Hickory Police Chief now at the house talking with investigators.

Almost looks like they are holding hands and praying.

That is exactly what it looks like

It sure does, and the way they are looking in so many spots, you have to wonder if maybe they did dismember her    Unless there are other items of importance they are looking for.

I think they are just looking for fragments of this angel. I know that is very hard to think about, but the way there are searching makes me think they know they will not find much.

Police just brought a dog to where they have been digging.

What a dolt. How can he not have an attorney? Doesn't he know he's going to be charged?

That's good video. Gives you a good idea of the lay of the land and you can see just where they have been digging.

ADAM BAKER: No.. like I said we, uh, had all that drama last night and we... me and my wife went back to bed. And my daughter is I think's coming into puberty.. cause she is hitting that brooding stage (laughter) so we only see her when she comes out when she wants something. And that's about it.     That is right up there with the top ten most idiotic, ignorant, and ridiculous things I have ever heard when calling 911 when your daughter is missing.

And they're supposed to be home schooling Zahra. (yeah, sure they are)  How do they accomplish that when they let her stay in her room all day.  They make me sick.

Doesn't one have to be educated in order to home school a child?
It's all a crock.

Those boards are to wide for floorboards. The widest one looks to be a sliding closet door. These houses don't have basements, just a crawl space under the house for plumbing and heating ducts. Most just have an attic access hole.

That is true about houses here in NC not having basements. When my parents were transferred to NC from Mich, they were very disappointed in not finding many homes with a basement, as my Dad loved having one for a workshop.

When I painted for a real estate company, I only recall one that had a basement, and this was over a 5 yr. span.

I think the boards look like they could be from a closet...like a shelf...JMO tho.

Hey Guys! Does anyone have any photos of the yard while the Bakers were still in the home? I'd still like to see where the dogs were located. Thank You in advance!
