And one article I read originally stated that the stepmonster was terrified because of what was happening to her in jail (paraphrasing) and the attorney wouldn't elaborate on what had happened to her.

Like I said earlier, the death penalty would be the easy way out for her. I say give her like 150 years in prison and let the prison code get justice on her.

No way. The psychological effect on someone who knows the date of their death is the biggest punishment of all.

A woodchipper...damn. Sounds like the stepmom watched Fargo. If the stepmom did do "that" them she also needs to be put in a woodchipper...feet first.

DSS is a joke. I called on a neighbor, two times, when I lived with a GF and nothing happened. They had a little girl maybe 7 or 8 and the kid wore rags most of the time and stayed filthy. The day after Christmas one year, the parents had the girl in the back of a truck and I spoke to her asking how her Christmas was since I noticed there were wrapped gifts in the back with her. She said that "they" were taking her gifts back to the store. She had the saddest face...I was blown away.

Former landlords believe Zahra Baker was kept in attic

By: Aaron Mesmer

HICKORY, N.C. – She was reported missing nearly a week ago but there's still not a break in the disappearance of Zahra Baker.

Friday, police returned to the Bakers home in Hickory and investigators were seen hauling off a mattress. Adam Baker was at the house during the search but left with police.

Stuffed animals, flowers and candles are starting to pile up in front of the home.

Zahra's step mother, Elisa, remains in jail on obstruction of justice charges.

While no new information is emerging in the case, more people are speaking out about their connection to the family.

Before they moved to their home in Hickory, Elisa Baker, her husband and missing 10-year-old Zahra Baker lived in an apartment complex in Granite Falls. Their neighbors now look back at that time, filled with regret

.

Shirley and Darrell Mims are the managers of the complex. They say, in the four months the family lived at their building during in 2009, they saw Zahra just once.

“The first or second day when they moved in is the only time i saw her,” said Darrell Mims.

The Mims say they kicked the Bakers out of the apartment after their arguing became unbearable. After the family moved out, Darrell Mims says he went into the attic, which isn’t easy to get to inside of a closet.

Mims says he found pieces of the wall and insulation lying across the rafters and a bed sheet nearby. He and his wife now think Zahra was locked up there and that’s where she slept.

“If I’d have known, I would have done anything I could to get her out of there,” said Elisa Baker.

“It blows my mind to think that they were putting that child up there,” said Darrell Mims.

Darrell Mims has trouble finding the words to describe how awful he feels. His wife has trouble holding back tears.

“I can’t imagine a parent doing anything to hurt their child. It’s just… I can’t imagine that,” he said.

Now filled with the guilt she didn’t act sooner, Shirley Mims is doing everything she can to help investigators find Zahra.

“She needs to be found. She needs to be at rest,” she said.

In retrospect, the Mims say they did hear rustling sounds from the attic when the Bakers lived in the apartment but they just assumed it was animals.

O geez thats horrible

I mean, we kinda knew all along the stepmom was involved but the dad seemed generally scared and upset when he had his press conference, crying on tv and all.

I suppose those tears could have been brought on by the memory of the fact that you have killed your child.

I dont know how people like this live with themselves. Its sick and disgusting.

Yeah, sucks but at least the case is getting closer to some sort of closure. People can be total assholes...

People are just fuging stupid to think they can still get away with poo like this these days. With the advances in forensic technology, chances are very slim you will get off unless you have an awesome lawyer and someone fugs up the chain of custody with evidence
