ADAM BAKER: The police were out here last night. They found a ransom note for my bosses daughter… um… I got up a little while ago… and it appears they took my daughter instead of my bosses daughter.

DISPATCHER: How old is your daughter?

ADAM BAKER: She is 10. She's handicapped.. she has a prosthetic leg… so that…

DISPATCHER: How long has seen been missing?

ADAM BAKER: Ummm. We checked in there last night about 2:30 and she was there... and all this happened last night around 5 ...so I don't know if they set a fire in the yard to distract us to go out and then they snuck in the door... or.. I don't know.

DISPATCHER: I am not familiar with what happened last night... what happened last night?

ADAM BAKER: OK. Last night...we woke up.. my dog woke me up and I had a fire in the back yard and somebody had poured gas in my company vehicle I drive to work. They left a ransom note on my company vehicle to my boss saying they had his daughter and his son was next.

ADAM BAKER: And his daughter is fine. His daughter came with him last night when I called him. And uh, It appears they may have taken my daughter instead of his daughter.

DISPATCHER: OK, Do you know who this was?

ADAM BAKER: I don't know who... No... no ma'am..

DISPATCHER: OK, so.. No one has seen your daughter since 2:30 this morning...? [It is now after 2 pm that day]

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.

DISPATCHER: And you say she is handicapped..?

ADAM BAKER: Yes ma'am.. she has an above the knee amputation.

DISPATCHER: OK, she has one leg and it is partially amputated?

ADAM BAKER: Yes ma'am..

DISPATCHER: OK. And you don't have any idea at all...

ADAM BAKER: Like I said it was it was all addressed to him and it was all taken out on him and.. I guess.. they thought he lived in this house...

DISPATCHER: OK.. ok.. did you talk to your boss about it?

ADAM BAKER: Um... I have just spoken to him and he umm told me to do... and he's going to be here shortly....

DISPATCHER: OK.. do you think that he knows?

ADAM BAKER: Umm.. we had an officer out here last night and he ran through who he thought it may have been like an ex-employee or something..

DISPATCHER: OK and you said 21 25th Ave. Northwest?

ADAM BAKER: 21 21st Ave.

DISPATCHER: OK.. 21 21st ave.

DISPATCHER: Ok, we are getting the police out there.. if you find out anything at all in the meantime before we get the officer out there call me back and it would help us as far as finding your daughter.

ADAM BAKER: Ok. Thank you ma'am

It is with great regret - they have recovered enough physical evidence to believe they have found Zahra.  The DNA from the bone found on Christie road matches Zahra.

It is with great regret - they have recovered enough physical evidence to believe they have found Zahra.  The DNA from the bone found on Christie road matches Zahra. 

Remains found on Dudley Schoals road - the remains are consistent with Zahra but the tests are not complete yet.

[Curly]

First bone found was Zahra's.
Remains consistent with Zahra..still not authenticated by lab.

[crazybabyborg]

DNA from the bone found on Christy Rd matched samples within the house and was Zahra's. Remains found on Dudley Rd were consistent with a child and will be tested for positive ID.

[Nut44x4]

http://www.wsoctv.com/video/25774361/index.html

works for me

[Monkey King]

Dna from bone on Christie Road, matches the Dna from the house.

Dna from both mother and father and a profile created.

Dudley Shoals road have been sent to SBI. 

The bones are consistant with it being a child.

Information from this point on will be limited.

[NM]

Police in room. They will not take questions.  The DNA from bone found on Christy road matched DNA sample from house. DNA samples from mother and father will be used to create DNA profile for Zahra. The Remains ffound rom Dudly shoals road sent to be ID'd. ME on sight said the remains found were consisitant with a child.

[crazybabyborg]

Officers are devastated they could not bring Zahra home alive. The town mourns, the country mourns and the world mourns.

[bananas]

That was very short, no questions answered and very little information given.  They are holding back detaiils right now.

[klaasend]

PC was very short.  Did not mention anything about Adam being re-arrested.  Did not take any questions.  I'll copy the video of the PC once it's up so it can be watched by those who missed it.

[Scatty]

That was short. So DNA samples from the Baker house believed to be from Zahra, match the child's bones found. Basically they are confirming it's Zahra, although not officially.

[wildmala]

Officers are devastated they could not bring Zahra home alive. The town mourns, the country mourns and the world mourns.

Very well said.  Pretty short presser...but then again...what else is there really to say. 

[crazybabyborg]

That's it. Very short, but you could see the pain.

I'm very impressed with LE so far in this case.

[Brandi]

A complete DNA makeup will be made from swabs of both her mother and father.

No date for confirmation of bones yet.
