Nannies testimony

Public opinion, however, was far from satisfied. For a long time, there were calls for a deeper investigation, as the idea that a child’s body could lie in her own bed unnoticed seemed almost impossible to believe.

The discovery also shocked Paulette’s nannies, Ericka and Martha Casimiro. They insisted that the girl’s body was not under her mattress.

”I looked in the bathroom, under the bed and in the closet. I saw that she was not there, and I also went into the bedroom of the parents to look for her, to the bedroom of the other girl [Paulette’s older sister, Lizette], and from there we started looking for her again. And I went back to look for her in the bedroom,” Martha said, according to Univision Noticias.

”In fact, if it had been like that, I think we would have noticed, since thousands of people came to look for her, the bed was made, I never saw the mattress pulled back, I did not see a bundle or anything, it does not make sense to me that the body could have been there since Monday,” Erika stated.
