Just heard on Fox news that human remains have been found where they have been looking for her.

Source: Police will confirm remains are Zahra Baker's (http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2010/11/12/1829991/investigators-find-valuable-evidence.html - broken link)

I hope the investigation is going in a positive direction and Zahra's killer(s) will be charged soon.

Good old stepmom should also be given a big bill for all the thousands of man hours this investigation took up just because she couldn't tell the truth and say where the body was in the first place.

Let's not forget dear old dad, where was he when his daughter was being abused - ? - he had to be involved too - if the stepmother was so out of control, why the heck didnt he leave w/ Z or send her back to Australia - ? - I dont know why they're waiting to arrest him unless they were hoping the stepmother would get so annoyed and frustrated in jail (and him out) that she'd talk - and I think she did (eventually). Nothing will bring Z back but I hope they get what they have coming (and then some)

I am sure the police will put together this timeline, but didn't I read that Zahra's biological mother finally discovered she was here in NC 3 days before Zahra disappeared? That seems a bit too much of a coincidence to me. To me that puts the suspicion back on Zahra's father. Perhaps fear that he would lose Zahra to her bio mother motivated him to action. If he can't have her then noone can.

Just read that the prevailing feeling among the locals is that Zahra's father killed her - yet he's out on bond and his wife (the stepm.) is in jail. She was the one who was observed being so nasty to her (making her run up hills on her prost. leg, pulling her hair, smacking her, screaming in her face etc). Supposedly some of her remains were found in a deeply dug hole, I dont see the stepm. digging it. I just dont get it. Obviously neither were loving, caring, nurturing etc when it came to the little girl.

Not sure if Adam was aware of Z's mother Emily discovering his whereabouts, sounds like she has absolutely no money and as Z was a half a world away, realistically there was not much she could do on her end plus there was little contact between the 2 over the yrs (ath. that too somewhat stymies me, it's not that unusual for grandparents to rear their grandchildren if the parents dont so it would seem obvious to find Z, get ahold of the grandmother). How much contact the grandm. had w/ her son or Zahra after they moved here is unknown, he had a computer but did she - ? - and the son moved around a lot.

There's a lot of info we'll prob. never know (which is understandable as the case is ongoing).

RIP, Zahra.
