While Sherry West, the mother of a 13-month-old Brunswick, Ga. toddler, makes her rounds in the media to call justice for her son’s killers, her own daughter is now coming forward to say she’s not so sure about the story.
The daughter of West, Ashley Glassey, said that she does not want to falsely accuse anyone, however, she does want the honest truth.
The 21-year-old told First Coast News that her mother lost custody of her when she was 8-years-old. Although she has forgiven her mother, she says her response to the death of her little brother is cause for concern.
Glassey said she started to have her doubts after receiving a phone call from her mother telling her that her brother, Antonio Santiago, had been killed. She claims the night of the shooting her mother asked, “How soon do you think life insurance policy will send me a check?”
Glassey tells First Coast News she hopes her suspicions are wrong but based on conversations with her mother she’s not sure. Glassey described their discussions by saying her mother is crying one minute and then sounds fine the next.
“I spoke with the detectives and investigators and the evidence leads to many witnesses, not just me,” said Sherry West, mother of the 13-month-old that was killed last Thursday morning.
Apparently, West also changed her stories up.
“She changed her story she told me the baby was shot first and then she told me she was shot first,” said Glassey.
She also told FCN that her mother is bipolar and has schizophrenic tendencies. While she suspects her mother is on medication, she could not confirm.

But West is sticking with her story. While appearing on the Piers Morgan show yesterday, the grieving mother told Morgan that she wants the shooter to suffer like she has suffered.
West told Morgan she “hopes the shooter dies. I had to watch my baby die and I want him to die. A life for a life.”
Just this morning, the accused killer’s family members were arrested for lying to the police about his whereabouts. It’s unclear who is telling the truth at this point, but we hope it will come out sooner than later.
