In court papers seeking to reduce bond for Elisa Baker, her lawyers argued that even if Baker tried to flee Caldwell County, she could not hide for long.
Because of "overwhelming and international publicity" surrounding the death of her 10-year-old stepdaughter, court papers filed Monday say, Baker would have difficulty avoiding detection if she was released from jail.

The body of Baker's stepdaughter, Zahra Baker, was dismembered and the remains were hidden across several rural locations. The motion said Elisa Baker cooperated with law enforcement and told them where to find the remains and other evidence - the only "credible evidence" publicly known.
Baker is jailed on a charge of obstructing justice related to the case.
The motion seeking lower bond also cited Baker's ties to the area. She only left when she moved to Australia briefly and married her current husband Adam Baker, Zahra's father.
She has surrendered her passport to authorities.

I say, if they let her out, then jail the judge. You can't let this woman out. The very idea is ludicrous.
I do agree they should change the current $65,000 bond ... to say, $1,000,000,000 ... that might work
GIVE HER AND HUSBAND DEATH DO NOT LOWER HER BAIL
They are both guilty and they BOTH should be in jail. Obviously she is trying to make her self out to look like the Saint of it all because she knew about it and finally told! Where was her conscious then? Where was Zahra's rights when they decided to murder her. No lowering of bond! Jail them both! Deb- Oklahoma
