Zahra Baker was dismembered and her body was concealed in a comforter and
discarded in a dumpster.



CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Hundreds of pages of warrants related to the search for
a Hickory 10-year-old were made released Tuesday as public information
request by Carolina news organizations, including WRAL News.

The Charlotte Observer was the first to get a look at the documents and
reported that they contain details based upon investigators' conversations
with Elisa Baker, stepmother of Zahra Baker.

Included in the documents, the Observer reported, is a description of how
Zahra's remains were concealed in a comforter and discarded in a dumpster.

The Observer reported that the documents include information from Elisa
Baker's lawyer about how she and her husband dumped a mattress and box
springs at a trash dump in Granite Falls and wrapped Zahra's prosthetic
leg in a white trash bag, and threw it into an apartment dumpster in
Hickory.

WSOC-TV in Charlotte reported that the warrants note that Elisa Baker
showed "deception" in a polygraph test.

Documents reveal new possible suspects in Zahra Baker death

Ten-year-old Zahra Baker may have been raped before she was murdered, and
her dismembered body then concealed in a bed comforter and car cover, and
discarded in a Dumpster behind a grocery store, according to court documents
released this afternoon.

The documents don't reveal how the girl died, but they suggest that
acquaintances of Zahra's stepmother may have played a role in the girl's
death. The records detail for the first time Elisa Baker's account of what
was done with Zahra's body, and offer a glimpse of evidence police have
uncovered.

In a statement to police, a source relays information that two men may have
raped Zahra. When asked if they killed her, the source said "they might have
hit her in the head."

The documents do not explain that, if someone else killed the girl, why the
Bakers would conceal her death.

Judge Nathaniel Poovey ordered that the previously-sealed documents be
released this afternoon.

The documents also show:

-- Elisa Baker's attorney, Lisa Dubs, told an investigator that latex gloves
were used while Zahra's body was dismembered. Dubs also said investigators
might find remains in the bathtub drain.

-- Through her attorney, Elisa Baker said she and her husband Adam Baker --
Zahra's father -- dumped a mattress and box springs at a trash dump in
Granite Falls.

-- Elisa Baker directed investigators to the Fox Ridge apartments in
Hickory. Through her attorney, she admitted that she and Adam Baker wrapped
Zahra's prosthetic leg in a white trash bag and threw it in the apartment
Dumpster.

-- On Oct. 10, a dog trained in recovery of bodies gave a positive alert for
the presence of human remains in or on two vehicles at the Baker home in
Hickory.
