(AP Photo/Independent Tribune, James Nix, File) Police say they've discovered new evidence in the case of a missing disabled North Carolina girl, but authorities are being tightlipped about it. Local media say "possible human remains" are being analyzed at a crime lab. Ten-year-old Zahra Baker has been missing since Oct. 9, and authorities think she is dead. Zahra's stepmother, Elisa Baker, has been charged with obstruction of justice. Police say she admitted writing a bogus ransom note found after a fire was reported in the family's yard the day Zahra was reported missing.
