HICKORY, N.C — Friends and family of Zahra Baker held a private memorial Sunday afternoon.
Close to two dozen of Zahra Baker's closest relatives, including her father, met outside the house where the 10-year-old was reported missing more than a week ago which has been unoccupied since that day.
They formed a ring with their vehicles near the wood piles outside the home and some could be seen writing on pieces of paper while others wrote on balloons. Some notes read “we love you”, “Zahra, we miss you” and others urged readers to call police with information.
After 15 to 20 minutes the group gathered together with the mostly pink and purple balloons and released them into the sky. While Adam Baker gathered belongings in the backyard the group built another ring of cars around the tree in the front yard. They taped more pictures to the tree, and hung angels.
As quickly as they came, the group left.
