"The three-year-old daughter of Liana White may have witnessed her pregnant mother's murder, the victim's mother revealed Friday in Edmonton.

"Did you see the blood on mommy's neck?" Ashley asked, while making a motion from her own neck downward, said Kelly.
On another occasion, after watching a male family friend cutting buns, the little girl said she would "have to go and sleep in the leaves with my mommy."
And when driving past the spot where her mother's body was discovered, the girl told a family friend "I've been here -- my daddy took me here."
Kelly also said that her grand-daughter said she was "lying in bed and she heard a noise and she got up and it was mommy on the floor."
When Kelly asked her what happened, the little girl replied: "Mommy said no more hitting, daddy, and daddy said yes, hitting."
Kelly's statement continues to say: "Ashley pounded her tummy with her fist, then went to the wall and banged her head against the wall a couple of times," and then told her "like that, grandma."

The grandmother has said that Ashley doesn't answer questions, but little details just come out. When asked what happened, Cassidy mentioned her daddy right away in the 911 tape. Although at first I was inclined to believe that she was mentioning her dad because he was the only other important person in her life, I now have to wonder if she wasn't trying to say something about what happened to Michelle.
