Meanwhile, the residents of a trailer park in Caldwell County where Zahra lived until mid-summer are still hoping the girl will be found alive, but they admit that hope is fading. Search teams combed the woods around the trailer park last Wednesday.
"They need to come back and do some more," said T*****a H**s.
H**s said Adam and Elisa Baker were spotted in the neighborhood about three weeks ago.
"They came here at night," H**s said.
P***y J*****n claims a few days later, "the most awful smell was coming up out of the manhole in my yard."
She said authorities lifted the lid and looked inside, but only for a few seconds.
"They's another manhole in the holler that they need to come back and look at," J*****n said.
The place she talked about is hidden in a valley area behind a vacant trailer. It is in the same area where the couple was spotted.
