HICKORY, N.C., Dec. 1 (UPI) -- Court documents released in the disappearance of a disabled North Carolina girl indicate 10-year-old Zahra Baker may have been raped by two men before dying.
The documents reveal a source told police at least one of the two men named was acquainted with Zahra's stepmother, Elisa Baker, The Charlotte (N.C.) Observer reported Wednesday.
The source, who said he got his information from talking to someone else, said Zahra had been at a house in Burke County, N.C., with the two men.
Search warrants released Tuesday indicate Hickory, N.C., police found a mattress with a "large dark stain in the middle" when they went to the house to see if they could confirm the rape information, CNN reported.
The source said he had been told the two men didn't admit to killing Zahra but said they "might have hit her in the head," the search warrant indicated.
Zahra's remains were found Nov. 9, more than a month after she was reported missing.
Her dismembered body had been placed in trash bags, the documents reveal.
So far no one has been charged in Zahra's disappearance.
