A woman has spoken about the horrifying experience of her father murdering her mother when she was just 12 years old, before he tried to bring it on her.

Hayley Cole, now 31m shared the chilling account of her father, Brad Reay, 47, killing her mum, Tami, when she was 31. The heinous crime took place in the family home in South Dakota, where the murderer then attempted to put the blame on his innocent child for the savage stabbing.

Speaking candidly about her dreadful experience, Hayley remembered how her mother seemingly vanished without a trace. Her father had tried to explain her absence by telling Hayley that her mum had run off with another man, and further asked her to keep her mum's disappearance a secret.

Hayley, opening up to The Sun, stated: "I knew something was terribly wrong, because there was no way she's have left me." In the days that followed in February 2006, the reality of what had actually happened began to come to light.
