| 0:00.0 | Hey everyone and welcome back to Big Mad True Crime, where we get Big Mad over True Crime. |
| 0:05.5 | Forgive me for my voice, it has been stolen and I am just waiting to get it back. |
| 0:10.3 | This week I'm going to tell you the story about a beautiful little girl named Zara Baker |
| 0:14.4 | and the evil step monster who ruined everything. Small talk is obnoxious, so let's dive in. |
| 0:30.2 | Adam Baker in Emily Dietrich met and fell in love in Waga Waga Australia, which yes is a real place. |
| 0:41.1 | Their romance blossomed in eventually in November of 2009, Emily gave birth to a beautiful |
