Hickory Record
CHARLOTTE --
Elisa Baker was indicted on seven counts of drug charges in federal court Wednesday.
The stepmother to 10-year-old Zahra Baker, Elisa Baker is accused of distributing and conspiring to distribute the prescription drugs Oxycodone, Hydrocodone and Alprazolam between May 2006 and October 2010.
The investigation into Baker’s missing stepdaughter began on Oct. 9, 2010, and she was arrested by Hickory police for obstruction the following day.
Baker, 42, is charged with:
* One count of conspiring with others known and unknown to distribute and possess with intent to distribute the controlled substance of Oxycodone, Hydrocodone and Alprazolam from 2006 to October 2010 in Caldwell and Catawba counties;
* One count of distribute and possess with intent to distribute the controlled substance of Oxycodone from May 2006 to October 2010 in Caldwell and Catawba counties;
* One count of distribute and possess with intent to distribute the controlled substance of Hydrocodone in Caldwell and Catawba counties from May 2006 to October 2010;
* One count of distribute and possess with intent to distribute the controlled substance of Alprazolam from May 2006 to October 2010;
* One count of maintaining a residence in Granite Falls to distribute the controlled substances of Oxycodone, Hydrocodone and Alprazolam from July 24, 2009, to Nov. 9, 2009;
* One count of maintaining a residence in Hudson to distribute the controlled substances of Oxycodone, Hydrocodone and Alprazolam from Nov. 13, 2009 to April 8, 2010;
* One count of maintaining a residence in Hickory to distribute the controlled substances of Oxycodone, Hydrocodone and Alprazolam from July 2010 to October 2010.
Hydrocodone and Oxycodone, also known as Oxycontin, are prescription medications used to treat moderate pain and are in the opiate family. Alprazolam, also known as Xanax, is primarily used for anxiety.
The indictment lists the addresses of the apartment complex and mobile home where Baker and her husband, Adam, lived in Caldwell County, as well as the house they rented in Hickory.
Shirley Mims and her husband, Darrell, lived next door to the Bakers when they lived at the Congress Street Apartments in Granite Falls. The manager of the apartment complex, Shirley said she suspected something was going on when the Bakers lived there in 2009.
When she was interviewed in October 2010, Shirley said, “I think a lot of drugs were involved. The first of the month, there were cars, cars cars, and they only stayed a minute.”
Shirley eventually asked the Bakers to leave the apartment complex because Adam and Elisa screamed and fought so much.
“One-and-a-half days after we asked them to move, they were gone,” Shirley said. “I got the impression they didn’t want the police here.”
Baker was investigated by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency, the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigations and the Hickory Policy Department.
Each charge carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, according to Anne M. Tompkins, U.S attorney for the Western District of North Carolina. The conspiracy to distribute and three counts of distribution and possession with intent to distribute also carry a fine of up to $1 million. The three counts of maintaining a place to distribute a controlled substance carries a fine of up to $250,000. Baker is facing $4.75 million in fines and 140 years in jail if she is convicted of all charges and receives the maximum punishment.
Baker’s first court appearance in U.S. District Court has not been scheduled. She is still jailed in Catawba County on charges related to Zahra’s Baker’s death.
Baker’s stepdaughter, Zahra, went missing in the fall. Hickory police determined it to be a homicide. Most of her body was found dismembered in parts of Caldwell County in October and November. Investigators believe Zahra likely died on Sept. 24 and her body disposed of the following day.
Baker has been charged with second-degree murder and obstruction of justice in Zahra’s death. She is also facing a host of other charges unrelated to the case in Catawba and Caldwell counties.
