I am absolutely gobsmacked after reading this, how many chances were given to save these girls lives and not one of the people involved pursued it. ? The encounter in the laundry has left me ๐ฎ

"I heard this voice at the back door asking if anyone was here and I said 'Yes, come in,' thinking it was a neighbour," she said.
She said the woman was standing in the laundry and asked if she could stay for a little while.
"I asked her why and she said she just wanted to get away from some people," Mrs Sterling said.
She told the court the girl had been at a party at Picnic Point but had been in an argument with someone who wanted to go and visit their mother.
She didn't want to call police, Mrs Sterling said.
"She said they'd probably find her anyway. We just stood there for quite a while looking at one another because I didn't know what to say," she said.
"Then she said 'Right, I'd better go then' and left."
Mrs Sterling returned to the kitchen and heard a scream.
She went to the window where she could see the woman who had been in the laundry struggling with a man who was trying to get her into the backseat of a car, which had been parked on the street.
"He was really struggling with her and he hit her across the face," Mrs Sterling said.
She said another man was wrestling with a second woman in the backseat of the car.
Her husband came home shorty afterwards and asked her what as going on.
Mrs Sterling explained what had happened to him and he said "it was probably just a domestic".
She never called police because her husband told her "don't get involved".
