poor little girl! Another child goes missing in the middle of the night! With no signs of a struggle I wonder if she even was seen at 2:30 the night before.

Praying for Zahra!

...and cops got a search warrant this afternoon, which means they obviously have SOME type of evidence already.

Once they determined Susan Powell and her boys were not dead in their beds, they backed out and got a search warrant before they searched the house any further. It's pretty standard operating procedure to search the place the child/missing person was last seen.

I fear that this is a murder disguised as a kidnapping. I hope I'm wrong.

Her parents said they searched for the girl for an hour before reporting her missing.

Police said that her prosthetic leg was not found in the home.
.
Hickory police Captain Thurman Whisnant said half of the detectives in the department are searching for her now, in addition to the regular patrol units.
"We're concerned for her safety. We feel this is a suspicious crime, and we are looking into it," said Whisnant.

Police tape still surrounded the home on 21st Ave. NW late Saturday night. An officer stationed outside to guard the home said no one was there. Deal said both parents were still at Hickory Police Dept. late Saturday night answering detectives' questions.

I fear the same.

KaylynnCouture · Oct 10, 2010

So if they searched from 1pm-2pm before calling the cops..where was she or the parents from 2:30am to 1pm? That's an awfully big time gap to claim she was sleeping.

Respectfully snipped.

I wonder if Zahra normally slept with her prosthetic leg on? I admit I'm not that knowledgeable about prosthetics, but my guess would be that she did not sleep with it on. If she was snatched, why would a kidnapper grab it? Not adding up.

One of my cousins children has a prosthetic leg (she's 7) and she sleeps with hers on, normally. I think it depends what kind of prosthetic leg Zahra has..but I know it's not unusual for people/kids to sleep with theirs on just because it's easier or it may not easily come off.

There really is no info out so far. How do you not know your child is missing until 2:00 pm in the afternoon when you claim to have seen her early am hours ? :waitasec:

How do you not miss your child for (1) Breakfast and (2) Lunch ? Did they leave her alone and go to work ? WTH !
