HICKORY, NC (WBTV) - Various crews were back at the Adam and Elisa Baker house on Wednesday afternoon -- digging with a tractor and rummaging through mulch piles -- a day after a mattress was found in the missing girl case.
Authorities also called a special press conference about the Zahra Baker case at 4:30 pm. WBTV.com plans to carry the press conference LIVE on the web.
On Tuesday afternoon, authorities released two key pieces of information in the Zahra Baker case: confirmation that the missing girl's stepmother started cooperating with police on Sunday and the fact that crews Tuesday accidentally found a mattress similar to Zahra's in the landfill they spent four days in last week.
Sources also say that the jailed stepmother of a missing 10-year-old Hickory girl -- cooperating with authorities since Sunday -- was taken from her cell early Monday and driven to at least two areas that were later searched by officials for clues about the missing girl.
