Cassie also alleged that her family is "freezing" her out, adding: ";They’re not talking to us either."
When asked why, she said: "If I knew, I would say, I don't know."
Wood said: “Cassie stretched out the words 'I don’t know'. When she says it, she throws her head back and shuts her eyes.
“She’s mad at her parents and wants to contain her anger at them.”
The body language expert said that Cassie “wasn’t under duress” to speak but noted there was anxiety in her voice.
She said: “As she talks about losing her parents, she feels this loss.
“There’s a lot of agitation in the speed of her voice and the staccato delivery of that. To her, it happened very very fast.”
Cassie held onto her mobile phone throughout the exchange which could've acted as a potential "comfort blanket", according to Wood.
'COMFORT BLANKET'

'PROTECTIVE'
Cassie said she didn’t know what was inside the locker or where it was located.
Wood said: “She had no idea about the storage locker. But, her head comes down and it starts to shake. When she’s talking about the locker, she’s getting sadder. Her facial expression is on the edge of tears.
“She’s getting a little bit more protective because she’s dealing with the reality of the horror.”
