Where are THOSE clothes ?

(God Bless this poor child...)

Well they should have been on the floor by the bed, where she left them to change back into when she got back from her walk... I wonder if the police found them like this at the house??

The girl says if her mum had tripped, they would have found her by now, so she doesn't really know where she could be. #badenclay


that's the saddest thing.. how Gerard could even watch this is beyond me. He is a monster.

He said he scratched himself really bad when he was shaving. He scratched it about three times in a row because he had really old razors.

Actually....?....Did the police comment on or check his razors to see if they were 'really old' ?

She's asked why she's there. Cause of my Mum. Cause she's missing. #badenclay

She last saw her mum "when she was saying goodnight to me". The little girl breaks down and cries. Gerard is crying too watching the video.

This reminds me so much of the Pistorius trial, everyone he spoke to immediately after the shooting, he stated not just "I shot Reeva" but "I shot Reeva by accident, I thought she was an intruder".

I love it when they add an alibi right from the beginning..........smacks of guilt.

I just said I’m just getting a drink of water… about 10 minutes (after she went to bed).’’

that would make it around 7pm that night, I suppose.. Dad in his shoes doing the ironing, Mum on the couch in her pyjamas...

Obviously, Gerard hasn't got round to laying it out to Allison that Toni says she isn't to go to the conference, and by the way, I m leaving you and selling the business. ..

3.50pm: The 15th witness in the trial is one of the Baden-Clay daughters, a 10-year-old, who will give evidence to the court through a pre-recorded video taken at the Indooroopilly police station on April 20, 2012.

``About mum,’’ she said when asked if she knew why she was there.

``She went for a walk this morning and she hasn’t returned.’’

The girl said she knew mum went for a walk in the morning about 5am but dad was still asleep.

She said at around 7am her mum was due to go into the city for a meeting except she was not home.

``That’s about all I know about what happened,’’ she said.

The girl said she was sitting at home getting ready for school and getting worried around 7am.

She said her Grand Poppa and aunty came to help look for her mother to see if she was still walking.

``Except there was no success and so then a police car came to talk to dad and when that happened Aunty Livy took us to school,’’ she said.

The girl told the police she lived with her dad, her mum and two younger sisters.

``It was really just normal like every other night, she just put us to bed,’’ she said.

``She just comes in and says goodnight and gives us a pat.’’

She said she went to bed early around 7am or 6.30am.

``I went out to get a drink of water and she was lying on the couch just watching television,’’ she said.

``I just said I’m just getting a drink of water… about 10 minutes (after she went to bed).’’

She said she thought her father was downstairs in the car or getting something from the fridge because the light was on downstairs.

``When I was getting a drink of water he came up the stairs,’’ she said.

She said her father was wearing pyjamas and shoes and told her he was going to do the ironing.

``Probably just walking into my room and laying down in bed to go to sleep,’’ she said.

The girl said she woke up at 6.30am.

She said her father was awake and she asked where her mother was. She said he told her ``I think she’s gone for a walk’’.

The girl told police that they looked out the window as it got close to 7am to see if her mother was coming up the drive way.

She asked for a tissue and sat on the wide, brown couch in a school uniform in tears.

She told the officers her mother had been unwell.

``Just sometimes she has a headache or she’s just really tired,’’ she said.

The girl said her father told her he had scratched himself shaving and had covered it with a Band-Aid.

``He said he scratched it about three times in a row because he had really old razors,’’ she said.

She said her father usually shaved after he had a shower.

"She sings a song to me", the little girl says, of her mum putting her to bed. She is very emotional. #badenclay

And then she came to check on me after five minutes. (After putting her to bed the night before she disappeared). #badenclay

Child starts to cry: "Dad was trying to keep calm for us. I don't really know what was going on in his head." @9NewsBrisbane #badenclay

Why was dad trying to 'keep calm' ?
At this stage she had only gone for a walk and was not THAT late getting back.
This was all before school....7.30am-ish ?

ate Kyriacou @KateKyriacou

(The next morning) I woke up and Dad came in and he didn't know where Mummy was but we thought she might have gone for a walk.



We got worried ... cause she hadn't come back home on time. #badenclay http://bit.ly/badenclayday2

4pm: The girl said she couldn’t remember whether her dad was dressed in work clothes or still in his pyjamas when she woke up.

She said her mum was wearing a jacket and a jumper when she last saw her.

``What we all would have thought is she would have tripped and her phone would have been dead because she’s always running out of battery, and she would have tripped except she couldn’t get up…,’’ she said.

The girl said things had been happy at home.

``Maybe a month ago, but if they do fight its only little arguments that go for a couple of seconds and then they stop,’’ the girl said to the police about her parent’s relationship.

She said her mum usually took her phone with her when she walked.

``She would usually be back by the time I would usually be up, except I woke up earlier than usual that day,’’ she said.

The girl said her family home was ``quite small but big enough’’.

The mind is open - very. I'd think the jury may be having a few doubts if they had any preconceptions at all?

I note that the girls weren't asked (at least as far as we know) if they heard anything the night before? I also note that these interviews were done only the day after Allison went missing, weren't they? Before she was found?
