Zahra Baker MISSING

It is confirmed, the prosthetic leg belonging to Zahra Baker was found down a country road in North Carolina.  This location is about 20 minutes from where the child used to live, and is near a home where her step-mother used to stay.  Authorities confirmed they found a leg last week, and they were recently able to match the serial number to Zahra’s Austrilian medical records.  Authorities continue to conduct searches at the family home and track leads, but so far, Zahra has not been found.  Investigators do not believe she is alive.

Zahra’s father Adam Baker, was bonded out last week. He was arrested initially for writing bad checks.  At this time, he is not considered a suspect in this case.

This story has captured national attention for a number of reasons. The Amber Alert is initially what drew the nation into this case, but Zahra’s medical conditions made many hearts break. Zahra is a bone cancer survivor, uses hearing aids and has a prosthetic leg to walk. This child has endured enough in her lifetime and to think that she may have been killed is a lot for her family, community and folks who have never met her to understand.
