HICKORY, N.C. (AP) - A memorial service will be held next week for a 10-year-old disabled girl who police think was dismembered after her death in North Carolina.
According to an obituary for Zahra Baker on the Drum Funeral Home website, the service will be held at 7 p.m. Thursday at the mortuary's Hickory chapel. The obituary does not include a date of death.
The Charlotte Observer reported that the service will be open to the public.
The girl used a prosthetic leg and hearing aids after a bout with cancer. She was reported missing in October and police say they found her remains earlier this month.
No one has been charged in the girl's disappearance or death. Her stepmother is accused of obstructing justice in the investigation and led police to the girl's remains.
