This is a very sad story. It is really hard to believe the mom didn't hear the attack. It seems like there is some parts of the story missing. It says the little girls 17 year old aunt seen her at 6:45 am. From what I am reading that little girl was awake when her aunt left the house? Why the heck was the mother not awake? I just do not understand it at all.

I know when my girls are awake because I hear them walking around, in the mornings.
