We all knew that this day would come, but hearing the words that Police Chief Tom Adkins choked back was difficult to bear.
"I've been dreading this moment from early on in the investigation," said Hickory Police Chief Tom Adkins, who explained that investigators matched the bone with the child's DNA. "We have recovered enough physical evidence to think we have found Zahra."
Zahra won't get to celebrate her 11th birthday this week because she was murdered. Murdered most likely by the people that were to protect her from the evils of the world and who were to keep her from the monsters. As it turns out, poor little Zahra lived with monsters. Monsters who taunted her because she was ill. Monsters who made fun of her because she had one leg and would make her run up and down a hill until she would collapse in pain. Monsters! When children think of monsters they think of stranger danger outside of the home who they are constantly warned of and always to be on guard for...not mommy and daddy.
It sickens me to the core to think of the atrocities that Zahra went through. It further sickens me that Brandon Greeson and Tim Curtis attempted to use this child's dire situation as a marketing platform. They will NEVER get a free pass for that, and as long as this author has breath I will make sure that no one forgets what they tried to do. They are no better than the murderous parents.
It sickens me that Adam Baker is still walking around a free man when he certainly knows what happened to his daughter. May the wheels of justice move swiftly, and ALL who sinned against this child pay for their bad deeds.
