Editing my post....
I pulled up and mapped all of EB's addresses. The closest one to where the prosthetic leg was found would be either 4910 Burns Road address which is about 4.5 miles or 4010 Philip Lane which is maybe a little less. Investigators said they were up "Near" where she had used to live. During the PC he NEVER stated anything about it being on her property and that is likely because it was not even close to her property! Near where she used to live is a pretty broad term.
I would like to know how it ended up being out there as "on her property" as the HM states, it has been stated here over and over and so on.
Unless there is some information that I have completely missed then this is bad information.
I'm not aware of her ever living off of Christie Rd...but, what I could have missed it...(don't think so...but...)...anyway...I transcribed the presser from my DVR and posted it immediately after the presser; and no, they never said they found it near a previous residence: here's my transcription and a link to the presser, if anyone needs clarification. IMO, since this is coming straight from the "horses mouth"...I am going with what he said....
Police Chief:
Investigators have discovered a prosthetic leg, consistent with the description of Zahra Baker's left prosthesis.
The prosthetic leg was discovered late yesterday afternoon, off Christy Road in Caldwell County. We are attempting to positively confirm the prosthetic leg is Zahra's by a serial number inside the outer cover. The prosthetic leg was originally fitted in Australia, it'll take sometime to confirm if it's hers. Investigators have also uncovered information that led search teams back to the family home in Hickory, where technicians are recovering additional pieces of evidence. The mattress that was discovered at the Foothills Environmental Landfill in Caldwell County yesterday is being tested for DNA but the results of those are not complete. The mattress was discovered by landfill workers outside the original search grid. We based that grid on information that we've had about the mattress that was placed in the landfill. Workers at the landfill have worked diligently, looking for anything that may assist in this investigation. They should be commended for their efforts. The investigative team has received outstanding support from the Caldwell county sheriff's office providing resources for additional search teams, and also securing search areas. We will continue to follow every lead and every tip we receive in hopes that we can come to some kind of conclusion to this investigation and bring peace to Zahra. (goes to questions / audience)
