text: The mother of accused killer Vincent Stanford is helping detectives investigating the death of beloved teacher Stephanie Scott, who was buried in an emotional funeral service on Wednesday. Wearing a striped grey shirt and black pants with a orange backpack flung over one shoulder, Anika Stanford arrived at Leeton Police Station on Thursday morning to meet with police officers. She left 45 minutes later with a detective in a silver sedan and was taken back to the home she shared with her son, Vincent, and another son, Luke.
