Holly Ashcraft's Dad Shocked

Holy Holly Ashcraft, The Univ. of southern California student who is under suspicion of infanticide, hasn't seen her father, Terry Ashcraft, in three years.

Mr. Ashcraft, of Billings, MT, was shocked when he learned of the charges against his daughter. He characterized her as "one hell of a good kid" and "very bright, athletic and very upbeat."

Holly admitted to having disposed of another infant, who she claimed was stillborn, in 2004. The body of that child was never found, so she was never arrested or charged with a crime.

Her attorney  suggests that this child, who was found in a cardboard box next to a dumpster, was also stillborn, and thus, no crime committed. (How do these guys sleep at night?)

Police aren't saying how they tied Ms. Ashcraft to the child. They maintain that the child was full-term and alive at birth, but autopsy results will not be available for a month or more.
