HICKORY, N.C. — A 10-year-old girl was seen in public as recently as two weeks before she was reported missing, police said Saturday.
Investigators said previously that they couldn’t find anyone outside Zahra Clare Baker’s household who had seen her alive in more than a month. That uncertainty has made it difficult for police to narrow places to search for the girl, whose bone cancer left her with hearing aids and a prosthetic leg.
Zahra was reported missing Oct. 9, but investigators have said they don’t believe the story given by her father and stepmother. Police think the girl is dead.
