Elisa Baker was today given a charge of second-degree murder linked to the death of her handicapped 10-year-old stepdaughter, Zahra Clare Baker, whose remains was found scattered across many locations in North Carolina. The indicment revealed that Baker had "a history and pattern of physical, verbal and psychological abuse of the victim," The Charlotte Observer reported.

Also that she had "desecrated the victim's body to hinder detection, investigation and prosecution of the offense." Zahra, who had battled cancer and needed an artificial leg, was reported missing on Oct. 9 by her father, Adam Baker. Authorities believe the girl had been killed more than two weeks earlier. The grand jurors alleged that Elisa Baker "secreted the victim from family and others prior to and after the offense, delaying detection of the offense," the Hickory Daily Record reported.

So a harrowing story being brought to justice with damning evidence of the perpetraitor and more details on her sentencing will surely follow.
