I was just watching the interview with the guy accused of raping her. He said the reason he had a spot on the mattress was because he got drunk and pissed himself...

That is a lame excuse.

Urine doesn't leave huge dark stains on mattresses. I used to be a head housekeeper for a hotel. People piss on mattresses all the time. Gross I know. That will make you think about your next hotel stay.

Based on his body language & I'm no expert but I'd say he's lying.

This whole situation makes me depressed. They both need their heads sawed off from one side to the other insurgent style.

I agree, new details are highly disturbing.

I hope to God she died quickly and painlessly, but now there are reports of rape.

I hope they all burn, everyone who's involved.

medical examiner released the autopsy report on the death of Zahra Baker, 10, after Hickory police announced Monday that they are charging the stepmother, Elisa Baker, with second-degree murder.

The autopsy listed the cause of Zahra's death as "undetermined homicidal violence." The report included graphic details about the child's dismemberment. Several of the bones were not found including Zahra's skull. There were tool marks on her skeletal remains including 11 cut marks on her legs.

Jay Gaither, the district attorney representing Burke, Caldwell and Catawba counties made the announcement of the murder indictment that was filed at 12 p.m. Monday.

Here are the details:

• Second-degree murder charge for Elisa Baker.

• The indictment states that Elisa Baker had a history and pattern of physical, verbal and psychological abuse against Zahra.

• It also states that Elisa hid the victim from family members, and desecrated Zahra's body to hinder detection, investigation and prosecution of the offense.

• The indictment further states that the victim, Zahra Baker, was young and physically impaired, which refers to her prosthetic leg and hearing aids.

• The autopsy report states Zahra's body was dismembered. Report reads "cut/tool mark injuries identified on the partial skeletal remains."

• Exact cause of death listed as "undetermined homicidal violence"

• Based on their findings, Gaither said there is no credible evidence to suggest anyone other than Elisa Baker was involved in death of Zahra.

Hickory Police Chief Tom Adkins spoke after Gaither announced the charges.

"The indictment is a milestone of holding someone accountable that members of team Zahra have been working toward since October 2010," Adkins said. "We will continue our investigation and follow every lead until the first day of trial for the prosecution of Zahra's death."
