What is this woman’s connection to Khandalyce Pearce-Stevenson?

Police are joining the dots with this latest revelation.

The photos show a little girl candidly looking at the camera, near her stands a young boy awkwardly framed and looking to the side.

It’s primarily a photo featuring the car in the background, taken at a car show by you’d imagine a car enthusiast, the children in it aren’t the main subject matter.

The photos could be easily overlooked and passed by except by now the face of the little girl is one that we are so familiar with.

The tag reveals her name “with Khandalise.”

The photos were taken in August 2008, one month later the little boy, Ryan would be dead after a tragic car crash.

At some unspecified time after that the little girl, Khandalyce, would too be dead, stuffed into a suitcase and abandoned on the side of the road, thousands of kilometres away from her mother, Karlie Pearce-Stevenson.

These images are posted on the social media account of Hazel Passmore, the former partner of the man accused of murdering Karlie Pearce-Stevenson – and a woman now labelled as being in a “love triangle” with Karlie Pearce-Steveson and Daniel Holdom.

Yesterday 41-year old Daniel Holdom appeared by video link in Maitland Local Court in New South Wales charged with the murder of Ms Pearce-Stevenson .

He has not been charged over the murder of her two-year-old daughter, Khandalyce.

Police allege that on December 14 or 15 of 2008 Mr Holdom killed 20-year-old Pearce-Stevenson and left her body in the Belanglo State Forest southwest of Sydney.

It was revealed that three months before Ms Pearce-Stevenson was murdered her alleged killer, Daniel Holdom, was the driver in a horrific car accident that killed two children, injured a third and paralysed the children’s mother, Hazel Passmore.

Ms Passmore’s two children Willow and Ryan were aged 9 and 7 when the accident occurred, this was one month after the photos of Khandalyce, were taken and posted to her Facebook page.

On her Facebook Ms Passmore posted a tribute to her children she wrote in 2013 quoting a poem “We are connected, my child and I, by an invisible cord, not seen by the eye.”

After the accident she was left paralysed and it is thought that while she was hospitalised Holdom’s romantic involvement with Karlie Pearce-Stevenson flourished, though The Australian reports by March 2009 ( three months after Karlie’s murder) Passmore and Holdom were back together as Holdom posted on Facebook that he was “in a relationship”.

The post, reports The Australian, was “liked” by just one person: Hazel Passmore.

There are reports that police have interviewed Ms Passmore who is suspected of being involved in the identity fraud that took place after Ms Pearce- Stevenson’s death.

Images on last night’s news of Ms Passmore showed her in her wheelchair speaking with her lawyers.

News Limited reports that detectives are trying to piece together a timeline of Ms Passmore’s relationship with Holdom and Passmore and determine when they may have come in contact with Ms Pearce-Stevenson, who left Alice Springs to travel and work in 2006 and travelled around Australia until her death in 2008.

Ms Passmore’s Facebook account shows her and her children, along with Daniel Holdom in an album titled “Our trip around Australia” from 2008.

They believe that a man and possibly two women, one in a wheelchair assumed the identity of Ms Pearce-Stevenson and drained her accounts of more than $90,000. In June 2010, police revealed a woman in a wheelchair visited a bank in South Australia and pretended to be Pearce-Stevenson, showing ID documents to convince staff.

Police also have revealed that a woman claiming to be Ms Pearce-Stevenson called family members to trick them into transferring money into her bank account.

In a disturbing twist police confirmed yesterday that they believed Khandalyce had been kept alive for some time after her mother’s death.

NSW Police Detective Superintendent Mick Willing said Pearce-Stevenson had sustained certain injuries to her body, but added: “I cannot go any further into those injuries as the investigations are ongoing. We believe that Khandalyce was murdered at some point after Karlie, but we are trying to establish the exact time.

“Now we know that others have knowledge of what occurred to Karlie and Khandalyce and we need those people to come forward. The time to do that is now.”

Holdom will appear again in court on November 12.

No charges have been laid on Ms Passmore who is said to be “co-operating with police.
