My daughter's ABS light comes on and when that happens and she turns the vehicle off, the battery is dead. Any thoughts. The battery and alternator were tested last week and they both checked out fine. Her starter is fairly new as well as the alternator. The battery will be two in November.

Sounds like she has a battery or charging system issue. The low voltage is likely what put the ABS light on.
Your going to have to do some testing in the vehicle. Removing the alternator to test it really doesn't tell you anything.
