Zahra Baker

This is a video tribute to Zahra Baker. A 10 year old little girl who went missing in North Carolina.
In 2005 Zahra was diagnosed with bone cancer. It caused her to lose her leg and her hearing. In 2008, Zahra's dad Adam Baker began an online affair with a "woman" named Elisa. June 2008 he marries her. A few short months later in December, Adam moves with Zahra and Elisa to North Carolina. Adam takes a job with Real Tree Services in 2010. His job includes using a wood chipper. The wood chipper will come into play later. Over the years the family ends up moving from house to house, eventually settling into a house owned by Adam's boss.

Different people noticed trouble with Zahra. Over hearing Elisa saying how she was gonna teach the teens a lesson and whoop them. They always witnessed Elisa making Zahra walk up steep hills by herself because she knew it would hurt her leg.

Here is a photo of Zahra taken by a friend of Elisas'. You can clearly see Zahra has a black eye.
On October 9th at 5:20 am, Elisa calls and reports a fire in their backyard. When police and fire get there, they discover a ransom note addressed to Mr. Coffey:
 
"Mr. Coffey, you like being in control who is in control now we have your daughter and your pot smoking red head son is next unless you do what is asked 1,000,000 unmarked will be in touch soon,"
"No cops"

 The police and fire department leave, they never check on Zahra. At 1:59 pm Adam reports her missing. If you listen to the 911 recording, there is no urgency in Adam Bakers voice as he reports his 10 year old disabled daughter missing. Between 5:20 am when the backyard fire was reported and 1:59 pm, he never noticed his daughter missing?

On October 12th, a press conference is held. It is announced that the case has gone from a kidnapping to a homicide. On the 13th Elisa is charged with felony obstruction of justice. A cadaver dog detects the scent of human remains on a wood chipper and in a mulch pile during an investigation of Real Tree property.

DNA from the human remains found matched DNA taken from items inside the Baker home. The human remains are constant with that of a child.

On September 15th 2011, Elisa Baker pleaded guilty to second degree murder with aggravating factors that include desecrating of Zahra's body. Zahra's parents begged Elisa to tell them where the rest of Zahra's remains were. Elisa's lawyer said that his client was "truly sorry" for the all the pain she caused and pleaded guilty to help bring closure to Zahra's family and community. Elisa said Zahra died on September 24th. She was not reported missing until October 9th. You have to wonder if Adam Baker had anything to do with the death of his daughter. I cant begin to understand how you live in the same house as your child and your wife and never check on your child. Never wonder why you havent seen your child in weeks. In my mind he his every bit as guilty as Elisa maybe even more. He had every opportunity to remove Zahra from that environment and didnt.

R.I.P Zahra. You are where nobody can hurt you now.

Sophia Parker Pedreros

On Friday May 20 2011, Sophia's grandpa Robert Parker reported both Sophia and her mother Claudia Pedreros missing after discovering that they were missing along with the family car.

At around 9 am, Trinity County Sheriff's deputies located Claudia walking naked along Highway 3. According to officers, Claudia said she didnt remember having a daughter or how she got to Trinity County. The family car was also found, parked at the Trinity River Campground. All personl things, except for the child's car seat was found strewn along the highway. But there was no Sophia.

A search and rescue team starts looking for Sophia. They search pass midnight and begin again on Saturday. At about 1:20 PM, little Sophia was found dead in the Trinity River.

It was suspected that Claudia suffered from a mental health problem. However a judge found her to be capable of standing trial. She has entered a plea of not guilty and not guilty by reason of insanity. She will be in court on August 17 to set a preliminary date.

With any hope justice for this sweet little girl will be served. Insane or not, that woman deserves nothing less then prison time. Her daughter only got two short years on this Earth.

MISSING: Breann Rodriguez ***UPDATE***

**MISSING SINCE 8/6/11***

Breann Rodriguez, 3 years old, went missing Saturday August 6. She was last seen riding her pink bike that had training wheels in front of her families home on Saturday along with her brother in Senath in Dunklin County. Her brother went inside the house for a little bit and came back out to find she was gone. 
Breann is described as Hispanic, 34 inches tall, weighing about 30lbs. She has black hair, brown eyes and was last seen wearing a pink shirt with shorts and wearing pigtails in her hair riding a pink bike with training wheels which too is missing.

FBI is offering a $25,000 reward for information leading to the successful recovery, arrest and prosecution if someone has taken Breann. The Senath Police Department is offering a $20,000 for her safe return and the conviction of whoever has taken Breann. If you have any information on the whereabouts of Breann Rodriguez please contact the Senath Police Department at 573-738-2818 or the Durklin Sheriff's Office at 573-888-2424.

***UPDATE***
Sadly, this is not a happy update. It was reported today that Shawn Morgan, a neighbor of Breann and her family, has been charged with first degree murder, armed criminal action and tampering with evidence in connection with Breann who was reported missing about a week ago. Police havent said if he has prior sex offensives. 
From what the reports say, he murder Breann by suffocation, but there are not a lot of other details. He is schedule to appear in court on August 16 @ 9am. He is on a no bond order. Officers arent looking for anyone else at this time and teams are searching for Breann's body. They arent saying exactly where they are looking.

It was reported yesterday that both of Breann's parents, Edgar and Claudia failed police polygraph test. They offer no explanation of why that happened and in an interview with Nancy Grace, dad said he didnt believe that failed it. He said that he believed it was a technique used to get info. But we now know it was in fact their neighbor.

It is a sad and horrible update. My heart goes out to this beautiful little girls family. Please send prayers to the family. Even though Breann's soul is now with God and the Angels, I hope her little body is found.

Drinking & Driver

There are a million reasons your should NEVER drink and drive, but in case you need a million and one here is a video I found on Youtube in memory of the Lindsey children who were killed when a drunk driver crashed into the car they were in. Never think your sober enough too drive. Lives are way too precious to gamble on.

Teigan Peters

Who knew that Father's Day in 2009 would have such an impact on so many lives?

Three year old Teigan got caught up in her father's issues and it ended up costing her, her short life. Teigan's mom and dad had been divorced since 2007 and according to mom, he had been harassing her and she had to file an OP against him. There was tension between mom and dad and mom's boyfriend. But nothing could prepare Tisha Brown for such a tragedy.

When family members were unable to reach Ryan Peters on his cellphone, they got worried and called the police. They were worried that since the divorce and the lost of the child custody case to his ex wife Tisha, he had became suicidal. On June 19, Tisha had filed a custody interference complaint against Ryan when he failed to return Teigan to her per the agreement.

On June 21, the Mesa Police called the Coconino County Sheriff's Office in an effort to locate Ryan and Teigan. Ryan's family had contacted the Mesa Police around 5:30 pm concerned for him and Teigan. At this point the only thing that is known is that they went camping, but the location is unknown.

Sunday June 22, at about 9 pm, a family member of Ryan's tells police that he talked to Ryan and was told that he was camping in the area between Jacob Lake and the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.

June 22 at 12:25 am police located a campsite in the area of Parissawampitts Point off of Highway 67 that led to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. This is where he discovered two bodies, one to have been an adult male and the other a female child. Both with gunshot wounds. They were identified as Ryan and Teigan Peters. It was determined that Ryan shot his baby girl and then turned the gun on himself.

An innocent life taken. All for what? This beautiful bright blue eyed baby doll was never given a chance at life. Three short years here with her mommy was not nearly enough. Now all we can do is look at photos and videos and wonder what could have been.

Rest in peace precious little girl. You will be missed and in all of our hearts.
