so the search continued sunday, with no news forthcoming. all i can say is this is frustrating, if they are picking through mulch they are not seeking an intact body. we'll see what the day brings. and the house must have been scoured by now.
i believe Grand Jury will meet today. that may well be what the DA office is waiting for before taking the next step vis-a-vis charges. and we don't know what evidence they DO have.
step bat in court today for another bond reduction hearing.
CHARLOTTE Observer -- The stepmother of Zahra Baker is scheduled for another court appearance Monday. This time, Elisa Baker's lawyer's are set to make a case to reduce her bond on several charges including check fraud before a judge in Burke County. Those charges are unrelated to Zahra Baker's disappearance.
monday AM Hickory Record:
Hickory investigators returned to the Baker house Sunday afternoon. They spent hours alongside SBI agents combing through the modest brick home where Zahra Baker was reported missing on Oct. 9.
“Hickory’s lead investigators are going back in to look inside again,” said Chief Tom Adkins of the Hickory Police Department.
The home and yard have been searched multiple times during the 23-day search as officers have worked to find the 10-year-old girl.
Cars drove slowly down the residential street and people craned their necks to see what the investigators were doing and to look at the makeshift shrine in the front yard.
Two SBI agents holding garbage bags walked to the shrine at the base of the oak tree in front of the house. They reached in the bags, pulled out toy plush animals and notes that had been left for Zahra and arranged them in front of the tree.
A second shrine has appeared in recent days at the bottom of the family’s mailbox in front of the house because the crime scene tape ringing the property has limited access to the original memorial.
