Does anyone have the address for the house that EB used to live in near Christy Road? They keep saying she used to live over there, but I've never seen a location.

For that matter, do we know of any other addresses/prior residences? TIA.
 
In some countries, the govt.will pay transportation, along with medical costs. Anyone know if that's true for australia?
Really? Even if the individual has moved out of the country? I had no idea. Thanks for that.
 
australia is a common wealth country. I wonder if zahra needed to be back in australia for medical care, or simply any other common wealth country?
 
I wish we knew if they are searching anywhere besides the home.
 
How the heck do you skip court when you are already in jail?!
Her case on the minor charges now continued til Dec. She remains in jail.

This is all I could really find:
When you travel abroad, you leave behind Australia’s support systems, emergency service capabilities and medical facilities. The Australian Government will do what it can to help Australians in difficulty overseas, but there are legal and practical limits to what can be done to assist travellers in other countries. You should have realistic expectations about this and read the Consular Services Charter, available on smartraveller.gov.au, before you go.

If I done it correctly I tweeted Rad and asked if he knew, lol. I have a twitter but I dont know exactly how to use it so we will see if he responds back to me :)

From link: (Sorry not sure about other commonwealth countries since there are, I think, 54 or so)

We have a reciprocal agreement on health services with the United Kingdom that allows Australian citizens and permanent residents to obtain free medical treatment under the National Health Service (NHS) in certain circumstances. This agreement does not cover other countries in the European Union.

Australians travelling to the UK for less than three months who wish to seek treatment under the reciprocal agreement first need to contact the NHS (telephone 0845 4647 or www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk) to check whether they are eligible for treatment under the agreement. Please note that Australians who have been in the United Kingdom for less than three months are unable to register at a local doctor's surgery for NHS treatment. Should medical assistance be required, you should go to the accident and emergency department at the nearest NHS hospital for treatment under the reciprocal health care agreement. Should hospital admission or specialist consultations be required, this can only be arranged by a doctor.

I wish every state was under the sunshine law like FL.Cases there have really spoiled me.
 
I don't think so. Once she was in Australia, she would be entitled to full medical care, and I've seen nothing to suggest that she was not a citizen. I can't remember the policy on dual citizenship with America. I know you used to give up your Australian citizenship to become American but I'm not sure if the laws have changed.

There's a lot of paper work to become a dual citizen or an American citizen. My husband, an Englishman is a dual citizen.

Can you just imagine these two taking the time or expending the effort to make Zahra a citizen - they couldn't even enroll her for school!

Besides, I think she would have been too young without her father becoming a citizen.
 
Yes they are. I read it but wanted to confirm it before posting and WSOC has just updated their site ...

thanks beach!

also from your link:

Police have wrapped up their search of the yard around the Hickory home of Zahra, her father and her stepmother. Investigators spent Wednesday and Thursday digging up areas around the home. They photographed and removed several items from the ground and collected them in plastic bags, but have not said what those items are.
 
Does anyone have the address for the house that EB used to live in near Christy Road? They keep saying she used to live over there, but I've never seen a location.

For that matter, do we know of any other addresses/prior residences? TIA.

Yep, check my map below. She actually lived in two different places that are really close to Christy Road. All of these addresses were taken from her rap sheet. I'm looking at Burns Road and Cedar Valley/Ester Lane (I think these are actually the same address and that one is just a mistake because they are so close together). She lived on Burns road around 2006 and Ester Lane around 2003.
 
so:

1-done with the yard
2-not done with inside of the house-searched thru the weekend
3-back out to christie road area where prosthetic limb was found
 
We wouldn't pay for travel from overseas back to Australia I wouldn't think unless there was a major disaster, such as the Tsunami or Bali Bombings for instance. However since they were still Australian citizens they would have been covered by medicare as long as they were on home soil while their medicare card was still renewed. But not indefinitely.

I once lost access to medicare in Australia because I let my renewal slip, and since I hadn't needed it for more than 5 years it became inactive. I then could not get back on medicare until I proved to them I hadn't lived abroad, or was back here for good. Since I hadn't lived abroad and moved back this was impossible to do. And no my passport showing no overseas trips was not enough.

They decided I was lying about my lack of need for medical attention and made me jump through every conceivable hoop to get back on it. I got back on it eventually, but I had to go back to square one and prove my existence, prove that I live here, that I work here, that I was BORN here!! And that I had BEEN here consistently for the last 5 years. Crazy.

You know also if AB forged 'biomums' signature on the passport application, it would not be such an unusual thing for someone to do in Australia, I have come close myself many times when dealing with government departments here ... for my own sanity I choose 'not to engage' for the most part.

Actually your post reminded me of my medicare issues when I came back to Oz after living abroad for 6 yrs. Couldn't get one for ages and it annoyed me no end.
