Breaking: Police Say Missing Vt. 12-Year-Old’s Body Found – With Video
BURLINGTON, Vt. – Federal prosecutors have filed kidnapping charges that carry the death penalty against a Vermont man whose 12-year-old niece was found dead near his home.
The federal charges against Michael Jacques provide for the death penalty in kidnappings resulting in a child’s death.
State and federal prosecutors spoke in Burlington on Thursday as 42-year-old Jacques was charged with kidnapping Brooke Bennett. Brooke was missing for a week before her body was found Wednesday evening.
In court papers, authorities accused Jacques of carefully orchestrating events and e-mails to make it look like Brooke had gone to see someone she had met online.
