Detective Partridge asks the grandmother what happened next and is told that 'between four and five minutes' later her daughter disappeared after William.
After remaining seated 'for some time, then I didn’t hear from her, I got up and followed them down.'
Leading the detective around the side of the house she said, 'I walked all the way down here wondering what’s going on' and agreed she still couldn't see her daughter and so 'I went all the way down to the road.
'When I got down to the road I could see Anne Maree (Sharpley) who lives there.
'It was absolutely deathly quiet. Still. Nothing. I was down on the road talking with Anne Maree and then (the foster mother) came up very distraught and said "I've got to call the police".
'I think I was walking up when (the foster father) arrived and he was distraught as well.
'How he knew at that stage I’m not too sure, he’d tell you, I’m not too sure, then he started running around. Everybody was running around.'
