Adam Baker Faces Shouting Neighbors At Hickory Home

HICKORY, N.C.,None — Adam Baker, the father of missing 10-year-old Zahra Baker, is being evicted from his Hickory home.

Adam Baker was at the home, located on 21st Avenue NW, for about two hours on Tuesday. He and his attorney took photos of the backyard of the home, which investigators spent days digging through. Adam Baker's attorney said taking the photos was "just part of the process."

A crowd gathered at the home while Adam Baker was there, standing near the memorial that has been set up for Zahra, who was reported missing on Oct. 9. Some people began shouting at the girl's father.

"You ought to be in jail," one person said. "You ought to be hung."

"I'm angry, extremely angry," another person said. "He deserves to be locked up."

Adam Baker and Elisa Baker, Zahra's stepmother, reported her missing, telling Hickory police officers that they last saw her sleeping in her bedroom at about 2:30 a.m. on Oct 9.

On Oct. 12, Hickory Police Chief Tom Adkins announced the cancellation of the Amber Alert and the decision to investigate Zahra's disappearance as a homicide. She was last seen by someone other than a family member on Sept. 25, police said.

Police have searched several areas in the investigation into Zahra's disappearance, including a wood pile in Burke County, a nearby pond, other homes where the Bakers had lived and a Caldwell County landfill.

On Monday, police announced that a prosthetic leg found off Christie Road in Caldwell County last week is Zahra's. Searchers found the leg last Tuesday and matched its serial number to the number on medical records detectives collected from Zahra's native Australia. A scanner was used to pull the serial number from a transponder inside the prosthetic, police said.

Zahra got the prosthetic leg after losing her own leg to bone cancer.

Searchers returned to the Christie Road area on Tuesday, but haven't said what specifically they are looking for.

Adam Baker was in jail until last week on charges unrelated to the case. Elisa Baker, who has been in jail over the course of the investigation, was indicted on Monday for obstruction of justice. She was charged after police said she admitted to writing a fake ransom note that was found the day Zahra was reported missing.
