A North Carolina girl was reported missing Saturday by her father and stepmother but law enforcement believes she may be dead.
Zahra Baker, 10, was reported missing by her father, Adam Baker, over 12 hours after he said she had last been seen by her stepmother Elisa Baker sleeping in her bed, CBS News said.
The house the family recently moved into, the nearby woods, and Adam Baker's employer's property were searched in efforts to find Zahra Baker's body, ABC News said.
Elisa Baker was charged Monday with obstruction of justice for faking a ransom note. She is being held on a $40,000 bail for various charges in a North Carolina jail and is a person of special interest in the investigation, CBS News said.
Adam Baker also remains an unofficial suspect in the case, ABC News said.
