From MuffyBee's post   
One more note:  I find Adam and Elisa Baker repulsive.  If they (either or both) have caused harm to Zahra, they should be brought up on charges, tried in a court of law and receive punishment.  I don't believe people should make death threats against others, and those that do should also be brought up on charges.  JMHO     I totally agree, and I also don't condone taking the law into one's hands. I have confidence that LE and the State know what they are doing, and will do the right thing in charging.

Zahra Clare Baker
 
Obituary:

Zahra Clare Baker, 10, of Hickory, is in the presence of Angels and in the arms of her Heavenly Father. Zahra was born on November 16, 1999 in Wagga Wagga, Australia, daughter of Adam Baker and Emily Dietrich. She was a strong, courageous and fun person who was everyone’s friend and protective of her family and friends. Zahra never met a stranger and was an inspiration to all those who knew her. She had a beautiful smile, an energetic personality and a wonderful sense of humor that gave her the ability to turn the worst possible situation into a fun situation.

Zahra was a very strong-willed individual that allowed her not to hold anything back. She taught her physicians and doctors not to set boundaries; she would set her own boundaries. Zahra was very athletic and won several swimming races in Australia. She attended Granite Falls Elementary School and Hudson Elementary School where she was on the A and B Honor Roll.

Zahra is survived by her father, Adam Baker of Hudson, NC; her mother, Emily Dietrich of Australia; paternal grandparents, Karen and Tony Baker of Australia; aunts and uncles, Kate Baker, Gemma Bell, Donna Shaw, David Baker, Scott Baker and Dale Baker, all of Australia; great-aunt, Mandy Edwards of Australia; great-uncles, Lance Edwards and Stephen Edwards, both of Australia; great-grandmother, Lola Edwards of Australia; and step-sisters, Amber Fairchild and Brittany Starbuck.

I submitted a photo for the online obituary. I think they need to approve it before it appears. I was surprised there were no photos there yet.

Nut -  I think we should help finish this thread and move on to the next.  I'll continue posting photo's if you'd like to get the thread change set up and take care of it when we get to 50.  I hope there will be an arrest(s) in the next thread.
