Rafferty's lawyer, Dirk Derstine, questioned McDonald further about the possibility McClintic somehow knew Tori before the abduction.
"What you know of her (Tori) do you think there's any that she would go off with someone she didn't know?" he asked.
"No," McDonald answered.
Derstine also questioned McDonald how Tori came to walk home alone that day.
Tori was supposed to wait for her brother, Daryn, to walk her home, after he helped two disabled children get to their townhouse next to the school, McDonald testified.
When he came back to the school, Tori was already gone, she said.
"Did you tell Tori to wait for her brother?" Derstine asked.
"We didn't discuss it," McDonald said.
McDonald agreed that sometimes her mother, Linda Winters, drove the children home from school.
But not that day.
"Who's idea was it that they would walk home?" Derstine asked.
"Mine," McDonald said.
"Did you ask your mother to drive them home?" he asked
"I believe so but she was busy that day," McDonald replied.
McDonald testified she didn't recall telling her mother not to pick the children up that day, but agreed it was possible she did.
It was the first time the children were to walk to their new home alone, but no one else knew that, McDonald said.
