With great sadness it has been announced today that 2 people have been arrested in connection with the abduction of 8 year old Tori Stafford and have been charged with murdering the girl.
New broke this morning and then spread like wild fire throughout the day as details of the case began to hit the media. Apparently these people are known to Tori's Mother Tara McDonald but they did not know the girl was her's at the time of the Abduction.
Police have been searching the Guelph area to recover the body of Tori, I have unconfirmed reports that a body has been found but nothing from Police at this time.
This Abduction was not a random act but an "opportunistic crime" and Tori may have allegedly been sought for "nefarious" or sexual purposes. It can't get any sicker than this.
Being a father this just makes me sick and frustrated that this kind of stuff actually goes on in our world. This little girl did nothing wrong to anybody and has now been robbed of her life, why?
Terri-Lynn McClintic, 18, is charged with abducting Stafford from her parents Tara McDonald and Rodney Stafford. She was also read charges of assisting Michael Thomas C. S. Rafferty in escaping the area.
Rafferty, 28, was also read charges of having abducted Stafford, and then, in Woodstock and elsewhere in Ontario, having murdered her. McClintic was read a third charge of having been an accessory to murder after the fact.
A very,very sad day for us all, my heart and prayers go out to the Stafford/McDonald families at this time.
