The search continues for the body of eight year old Victoria Stafford.
The woman accused of abducting the girl is helping in the search near Guelph.
But that’s hardly comfort to the girl’s mother, who emerged from mourning for the first time on Friday in Woodstock.
Tara McDonald scoffed at the notion suspect Terri-Lynne McClintic is trying to help police bring her daughter home.
She feels that the 18-year-old suspect is just enjoying helicopter rides and fresh air.
She says if McClintic knew where Tori’s body is, the search would be over.
McDonald says she won’t truly begin to deal with Tori’s death until her little girl’s body is found.
A 28 year old man has also been charged in the case and there’s been plenty of talk around the community about whether the suspects deserve the death penalty if found guilty.
Bayshore Broadcasting News asked a few people in our area if they think capital punishment should be brought in to deal with child abusers.
Most of the people we talked to say if someone takes a life, especially a child’s, then they also deserve to die.
One man even went so far as to say people who harm children should die very slow, painful deaths.
But one woman says she doesn’t feel it’s right to take a life for a life. She says she would want them punished, of course, but not by the death penalty.
