Police in North Carolina found a prosthetic leg, which they believe belonged to the lack of Australia girl Zahra Baker, who feared dead.
Zahra, who lost a leg to bone cancer and hearing problems, was reported missing from her home in the small town of Hickory on 9 October. He lived there with his Australian father and American stepmother Adam Baker Elisa.
Zahra police believe was murdered and have refused to rule his father and stepmother, whom Baker met on the Internet, as suspects.
Hickory Police Chief Tom Adkins, told reporters Wednesday that the leg is in a thick zone of Christie Road in Caldwell County late Tuesday afternoon.
"We're trying to positively confirm the prosthetic leg is Zahra by the serial number within the outer shell," said Adkins.
"The prosthetic leg was originally installed in Australia and will take some time to confirm it is yours."
Hickory police are in the process of obtaining your medical records in Australia, including the model, and serial composition of the leg.
DNA testing is still being carried out on a mattress found in the Foothills Landfill Environment.
Mr. and Mrs. Zahra Baker told police might have been kidnapped.
Mrs. Baker, 42, remains in custody after police accused her of obstructing justice for allegedly writing a ransom note found in fake police were alerted that day Zahra was gone.
Baker, a former Queensland sugar mill worker, was arrested Monday on charges unrelated to the disappearance of her daughter.
The charges include five counts of worthless checks, two counts of threat communications and one count of assault with a deadly weapon.
