Zahra Baker...Anyone who knew this child was being abused, and didn't report it should be arrested.

Zahra's stepmother, Elisa Baker, is a suspect in the case. She currently charged with felony obstruction of justice. She is no longer speaking with investigators. Her husband Adam has not been charged and is talking with officers, but he has not been cleared of wrongdoing.

Burke County Sheriff John McDevitt said Tuesday and Wednesday's intensive search off Hartland Road would last until investigators find what they are looking for or rule out the area. This search represents the fourth day investigators visited the property..."

who knew that this girl was being abused, and they just let it go on. Disgusting. I wonder how many other millions of children are quietly suffering abuse like this every day.
