all very sad, but still i think there are too many questions that need answering....i dont think they've gotton anywhere and am curious as to why the two charges were laid. that artcle is messed up
Two arrests made in the murder of 8-year-old Victoria Stafford
quote:
A 28-year-old man has been charged with murder
quote:
who had been missing for over a month.
but she's still missing....
quote:
Police have not officially released information on the girl's whereabouts.
historically, dont cases like these announce right away when the body is found? Cecilia Zang (some other spelling, but happened in Mississauga a few years back) and two others that year i remember hearing about the found body before anything else. why not release it this time around?
quote:
the suspects ...did not know that Tori was the girl they allegedly took.
wasnt the first piece of evidence the video showing the girl happy and concluded that she knew the abductor? so now if they didnt know her, disputes first statement i think..
quote:
Tori was last seen April 8 on surveillance video as she was leaving her school with an unidentified woman
wait..unidentified? it wasnt the lady who was just arrested....now im confused? Where did these two suspects come from when 1. they werent the ones who abducted her and 2. she is still missing but murder charges are being laid..
quote:
Police sources tell CP24 that they're still searching for Tori's body.
so how do they know she was murdered??
quote:
With files from The Canadian Press.
all in all...very confusing turn of events and i think this case is far from over...

They are searching for the body right now within a specific location near Guelph I believe, so perhaps they confessed to killing her. Who knows, but the entire situation is a little messed up since there has been no body found.

Precisely... there was some hard evidence for a judge to agree to signing an arrest warrant.

Halikopters are still flying all around my mom's place today as well. She's called me already this morning, and is afraid the body has been dumped in her woods or field, and would hate to go through all the drama at her place if all sh!t really happened there.

Yeah, she went to her daughters apartment looking for "medication". She looks like a crackhead BIG TIME!!!!
Then the cops told her to leave cause the landlord said she wasn't allowed on the property....

Ok, so apparently the girls neighbors called police when they released the sketch of the lady who took the girl from the school and realized it looked like her. Neighbors told police she had a white coat and had also just cut her hair the day the sketch was released. Police interviewed her and compared her walk to the suspect in the video but had let her go.
(apparently the neighbors were so suspicious that they would call her into their homes as the news was on and she would leave suddenly every time. They even contacted police at 4am one morning because they were so convinced it was her)
This Tuesday they called her in again for questioning and thats when she decided to help police and then they made the arrests. She has been also trying to help police locate the body near some rock pile outside of Guelph. I assume she told them thats where they hid the body...

Pretty sure you meant charged, as conviction comes after trial and guilt is proved beyond the measure of reasonable doubt. But you're absolutely right, there's a LOT that the OPP and the investigating bodies aren't telling the media and public.
Niether the OPP or counsel for McClintic are talking about the connection between herself and Stafford's mother. Also, it's really quite odd that now this person originally only charged with Abduction and Accessory-after-the-fact is wheeling the OPP all over the Guelph area with nothing having turned up yet (that we've been informed of).
Also kind of strange how this has shifted to a murder investigation so suddenly with no body - This must mean they have some REALLY solid evidence or a confession. There's something really strange about this whole thing still.

As I stated above, she has apparently confesed to her part during her second or third interview by police. That was Tuesday night, and they laid charges the next day. She has obviously informed them that she was killed and is now trying to lead them to the body...
I find the whole thing still really bizarre as well. Very little info has been released.

Apparently the girl charged is helping the Police locate her body. I'm going to be pissed if they cut her a deal for her cooperation.
