OW left with the children at 8am when the police arrived, as the school is only a short distance from the house! OW could not drop the children off that early? So what did she do? Did she go back to GBC house after dropping the children off?
From the Queensland Police Witness Report by Constable Keiron Ash
Quote: Gerard asked me to move our police vehicle to allow his sister to drive the children to school in the blue sedan. Soon after his sister drove out of the driveway with the children in the blue sedan
7. I now know this female person to be Olivia Walton
8. Another male person appeared from inside the house and walked over to where we were standing in the driveway and immediately put his arm around Gerard's shoulders. Gerard then introduced this person as his father -- etc.
9. I now know this male person to be Nigel Baden Clay
Then we jump to
Number 28 on the Police Witness Statement
28. Shortly after Gerard's sister Olivia Walton arrived back at the address after having taken the children to school. She went upstairs into the house but quickly returned back downstairs. I asked her what the girls had been told this morning, she said " that Gerard told the girls shortly after 6 a.m. that Mummy had gone for a walk and had probably fallen down a hole and would not be back" she then asked " Is that ok?"
Constable Ash stated in his report that he had arrived at the house at 8 o'clock
It was very shortly after that time that Olivia Walton drove the children away from the house, as can be ascertained by the fact it happened (and was reported) almost immediately police stepped out of the car onto the driveway
Olivia Walton drove the children away from the house very soon after police arrived, as can be seen from the following Witness Statement by Constable Keiron Ash:
Quote:
Constable Leah Hammond arrived at the address at 8.00 a.m. As we drove up the driveway I observed a female person walking three children down the front stairs and putting them in a vehicle parked in the driveway. There was an older model silver Holden Statesman parked directly in front of the house facing down the driveway, a white Toyota Prado was parked across the driveway and a silver Holden Captiva was reverse parked under a carport at the left of the house. There was also a blue sedan parked at the end of the house facing the drive and I parked our police vehicle behind this sedan
5. At this time there was a male person standing at the top of the stairs, this male person then walked over to our police vehicle and introduced himself to us. He said that his name was Gerard Baden Clay and that he was the one who called police to report his wife as missing. He told us his wife's name was Allison Baden Clay
6. Gerard then said that the other female person with the children was his sister as he had called her and asked her to take his children to school. Gerard then asked me to move our police vehicle to allow his sister to drive the children to school in the blue sedan. Soon after his sister drove out of the driveway with the three children
