That's the end of the press conference

The press conference has wrapped up. 

'It's turned my life upside down," woman says

Kieren says the man had her wallet in the car and she's concerned he might know where she lives 

"All my questions were around why me, like if I had been five minutes later or earlier, if I had parked in a different spot," she says. 

"I hope he feels bad because I don't think he released the impact it's had on my life.

"He apologised for ruining my night but it's definitely had longer lasting affects.

"It's turned my life upside down." 

Man says he was a nurse

Kieren says the man told her he used to be a nurse and that he wasn't going to hurt her daughter because he had a niece her age. 

Hard to feel safe after the incident

Kieren says it's "really hard to feel safe" following the incident.

Today is the first time she's left the house since it happened.

"I told myself I could be a hermit for one or two weeks but obviously the world doesn't stop," she says. 

"Bad things happen but it's a rare case and I have to tell myself that it's very unlikely to ever happen again to me."

She says she can't go to the shopping centre. 

'I just wanted it to be over,' mother says

She says she's been taught to de-escalate situations which is what she tried to do. 

"My first go to was to be really really nice," she says.

"I was really extremely nice, I think back, I must have sounded like a lunatic to him because I was helping him rob me.

"By the end I just wanted it to be over." 

'It was hard to believe him', Kieren says

Kieren says she was extremely worried for her daughter's safety.

"It was hard to believe him (when he said he wouldn't drive off with her baby) but I had to believe him," she says.

Kieren says she knew her husband was looking for her

She says she knew her husband was looking for her because he was constantly calling. 

Some of the workers at the stores she went into also asked if she was okay so she says she knew they knew something was wrong. 

Man eventually let the woman and her baby free

The man eventually pulled over and told her "that's it you can take your daughter home". 

She pulled over at a strip of shops and called for help. 

Offender throws woman's phone out of car

The offender threw the woman's phone out of the window. 

"My poor husband got an incident on his phone saying my phone was in a crash so he thought the worst," she says. 

Woman's husband tried to confront offender

Throughout the ordeal, Kieren's husband had been following her movements via her phone app, she says.

He caught up to her when they were driving to another set of stores and tried to confront her attacker. 

"I just remember yelling at my husband that he has a knife and I just didn't want him to get hurt," she says.

"My husband tried to save my daughter but couldn't because the door was locked and she was in a car seat."
