I think that adam baker was taken for the ride of his life when he met elisa. He probably had no idea how long his daughter was missing because the nutty elisa kept telling him lies. When your in a relationship with a pyschopath with no conscience you have no clue what their motives are. Because it makes no scents to the normal person. I have had that experience before with my husbands ex wife who was a pyschopath. She would go to extensive lengths to control our lifes as if it was a play in a movie and she was the director. no conscience what so ever. When u would explain to other people what happen they would think u were the crazy one. once your caught in the web of a pyschopath u have no choice but to exit the situation other wise it will continue to grow into a nightmare. I suspect if they look deep into the life of Elisa Baker they will find a lengthy record of pyschopathic behavior. That would explain why the beautiful Zahra looks happy in pictures. The pyschopathic elisa would go to lengths to make her play look perfect when in fact behind the curtains she is feeding off the Bakers like an animal. That also explains why protective services never stepped in. She would habitually lie and munipulate anyone in her path. Law enforcement is no stranger to pyschopaths they see it all the time. For example neihbors and friends are scorned for not seeing what was going on. Adam Baker is accused for not knowing what is going on. When in fact they were being controlled like a puppet when they would get in her path Everyone else pays the price for Elisa crimes. With no conscience its hard to know your in a web of a pyschopath. They feed off seeing others in pain. The weakness of a pschycopath is they are extremely predictable because the play is always the same over and over in their life. The people may change but the story line is always the same. Knowing where Elisa feeds will trap her like a cornered rat. My heart goes out to Adam and his family. I know that Zahra is in heaven the beautiful angel that is at peace. because I was in a path of a psychopath my advice to him is to run back to Australia before he pays for Elisa’s crimes. His baby Zahra will guide him home because she is the only one that knows the real story.

Connie, I venture to say you are correct in that Elisa was and is a psychopath. Once a psychopath, always a pschopath. They are unable to stop the hell they put others through. However, like Kelly, I agree that Adam Baker did little to nothing to protect Zahra. One or more media reports stated drug paraphernalia was removed from the Baker house. It’s highly unlikely Adam Baker was not using drugs along with Elisa Baker. He also had warrants for threatening to kill Elisa’s relative(s) and tried to run her and her husband off the road. When Adam did not succeed, he then drove ahead of the couple and slammed on brakes. If you need to read more on this, search for warrants against Adam Baker. And, did you listen to the 911 call he made? He was calm and cool! That was most calm cool “emergency” I’ve ever heard! It was scripted and rehearsed. he even offers advise that Zahra’s hearing aids were remaining at home while the leg had disappeared too. Any parent or care-giver who cared about a child who was missing would be screaming uncontrollably, not offer suggestions about a ransom note and a fire (which Adam and/or Elisa caused). These are all lies from both Bakers and the law enforcement agents know it. That is why they executed the warrants for his arrest as well!
