Zahra Baker Documentary


The three-part documentary, Zahra's Story, chronicles the tragic death, investigation and legal saga of the 10-year-old Australian girl who was murdered by her stepmother. The documentary has three segments:

Zahra's Story, Part 1: The Girl from Down Under, which told of her life before coming to the US

Zahra's Story, Part 2: New Life in North Carolina that detailed how her life began to unravel at the hands of her abusive stepmother and neglectful father.

Zahra's Story, Part 3: Murder and Mourning, which laid out the investigation into her death and dismemberment, the Hickory Daily Record's quest to get search warrants, and the conclusion of Elisa Baker, the stepmother, pleading guilty to second-degree murder.

Zahra Baker's birth mother clueless about daughter's ashes

snipped

"However, Vincent Picard, a spokesman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said in an email Monday that Baker had "voluntarily departed" the U.S., which Pearce disputed.

Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said in a statement Tuesday that "Mr. Baker was deported from the United States to Australia in January." The department provided no other details.

Zahra's biological mother Emily Dietrich said her daughter's remains might have been buried in Australia without her knowledge.

Dietrich rejected the prospect of dividing the ashes with Adam Baker.

Arrest Warrant Issued for Zahra Baker's Father

Authorities in Caldwell County have issued an order for the arrest of Adam Baker to face pending charges, although he returned to Australia more than a month ago.


The Hickory Daily Record reports that Baker was scheduled to appear in court Monday for failure to return rental property. When Baker's case was called, attorney Shell Pierce said he had been in contact with the Australian Consulate as well as immigration officials and assured the court that Baker was in Australia. Baker left the U.S. on Jan. 19.


The district attorney's office said it would not drop the charges.
