Ashleigh's mother, Lisa Jaers, says they had last seen her sister and her daughter on Saturday night at their family home.


She says the pair had not indicated they would be going out that night.


"No one expects anything to happen the day the children are leaving the house for them to come back in the manner the way that they came back is hard, unbearable.
