A 28 year old man has been charged with the murder of Victoria Stafford, the Grade 3 student who went missing six weeks ago in Woodstock.
Court documents also show an 18 year old woman faces charges of being an accessory to murder and helping the accused, Michael Thomas Rafferty, to escape the area.
The woman, Terri-Lynne McClintic, and the man appeared in court today in Woodstock to be arraigned on the charges.
The eight year old girl — also known as Tori — went missing April 8th outside her school and a surveillance tape showed her being led away by a woman in a white puffy coat.
Extensive searches in and around the Woodstock area have so far failed to find any trace of her.
During a news conference this afternoon — Police announced they will not stop until they locate Stafford’s `resting place’ and bring her home to her family.
Ontario Provincial Police Detective Inspector William Renton says it’s important the Grade 3 student’s body be returned to her parents now that the abduction case had led to a murder charge.
