SYDNEY — The Australian mother of Zahra Baker said Tuesday she has no idea what became of her daughter's ashes since Adam Baker brought them to Australia.
Zahra's biological mother Emily Dietrich said her daughter's remains might have been buried in Australia without her knowledge.
HICKORY --
Adam Baker has returned to his native Australia, taking the cremated remains of his murdered daughter, Zahra, with him.
Baker, 34, voluntarily returned to Australia on Jan. 19, said Vincent Picard, southern regional communications director for the US Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
“Mr. Baker coordinated his return to Australia with ICE officials who verified that he had purchased a ticket to Australia and had boarded the plane prior to departure,” Picard said.
He said Baker was not deported, because he purchased his own ticket and left the country voluntarily. However, ICE officials were at the San Francisco airport to ensure Baker boarded his plane, Picard said.
