Sorry folks not good. this is from a local newspaper:


BETHEL, Vt. (AP) _ The body of a missing 12-year-old whose uncle allegedly planned to force her into a sex ring the day she disappeared was found Wednesday in Randolph, not far from his house.

State Police Director Col. James Baker said Brooke Bennett's body was found about 4:45 p.m. and her family had been notified.

The uncle, Michael Jacques, has been in custody since Sunday on charges of aggravated sexual assault against a different underage girl. He has pleaded not guilty. Police Sgt. Tara Thomas said he would be charged in federal court with kidnapping.

Brooke was last seen alive with Jacques at a convenience store a week ago.

"The painful discovery of Brooke's body today is tragic and heartbreaking," Baker said at a news conference.

He called the death "clearly suspicious" but declined to give details before a planned briefing Thursday morning.

But in an affidavit unsealed earlier in U.S. District Court in Burlington, the FBI said an unidentified teenager told investigators she was present on June 25 when Jacques, 42, tricked Brooke into thinking she was going to a party and took her to his Randolph home to be initiated into a sex ring.

The girl said she was led to believe that Brooke would "would have sex with adult males" during the initiation.

After the three got to Jacques' home, the girl said she and Brooke watched television for a while before Jacques told her to leave and took his niece upstairs. The witness, who is 14, said she left the house with her boyfriend and did not see Brooke again.

The 14-year-old said she herself had been having sex with Jacques, 42, since she was 9 as part of the sex ring.

Brooke's former stepfather, Raymond Gagnon, appeared in federal court Wednesday on an obstruction of justice charge in the case. He was denied bail and was held pending another hearing on Monday.

Police say Gagnon, 40, lives in Texas but often visited Vermont. According to the affidavit, he told police he accessed Brooke's MySpace page from a laptop computer at his home in San Antonio after getting login information from Jacques.

Police said they have evidence that postings to the account were altered to make it appear that Brooke had discussed a secret rendevous with someone identified as "Skittlemeup" shortly before she disappeared.

Gagnon also told police he had downloaded child pornography onto the laptop, according to the affidavit.

In Randolph before the announcement, Brooke's friends and family put up signs saying they missed her and were praying for her safe return. She lived in Braintree, a small town close to Randolph.

"To the community, thank you so much for all your support and help, and I hope I can keep continuing to get that," said Brooke's mother, Cassandra Gagnon. She wore a photo pin of her daughter on her T-shirt.

She said she was "very surprised" by her ex-husband's alleged involvement.

How horrible...I hope they cut his jewels off and feed them to him...both of them...what is with the sick people in this world? All child molesters should be put on an island with no food, let them become cannibals, the last one...may he starve to death

That is so sad to read!

I think they all need to be shot!!!!!!!!!


Someone had to have known about this before the girl went missing. All who knew and didnt say anything need to be shot too!!!!!!

We should send them all to the front lines of the war.

Thats sad and disgusting,This si why I am so over protective Of My children and every one thinks I can be a d@#$, but I'll be that, rather then have something like this happen! The world is messed up! ...I agree they need to be shot!

That's right sweetheart.Put them in a "Escape From N.Y."scenario like the movie portrays.That's what they deserve.If anyone ever harms 1 of my 3 angels I can kiss my freedom G'bye unless I can walk on a temp.insanity plea.

This is what happens when you reject "GOD" and put sex and money in charge.

I say kill the SOB but do it slowly

Not just one of them, ALL INVOLVED!!!!!


Seriously though, If something like this happened closer to home for me, noone would have to do anything to any of the persons involved, I would go CRAZY/ INSANE on their ass and shoot them ALL, door to door!!!

Hey, I need to put my 2 cents in on this one. My mother who I am living with temperarily is 61 and sits around watching Nancy Grace every night. The first night I heard that she was missing I said to my mom "She's dead all because some sick **** wanted to **** a 12 year old girl." Looks like I was right on. The thing is, I am soooooooo SICK of hearing about children and young girls on Nancy Grace having their lives snuffed out by these sick bastards who just want to get their rocks off!! You can say "cut his balls off", "give him the death penalty", "skin him alive", etc. THE PROBLEM IS THIS: NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO TO THE BASTARD, ISN'T GOING TO BRING BACK THAT POOR GIRL WHO HAD HER WHOLE ENTIRE LIFE AHEAD OF HER TAKEN AWAY. SHE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO DESERVE THAT...ALL BECAUSE SOME BASTARD WANTED TO **** A LITTLE GIRL

I agree with you too, and I watch Nancy Grace every night going to sleep, me and my daughter, however even though as sad as it is that a childs life will never be brought back, I would have the satisfaction of looking into the eyes of the SOB and killing them for what he/she did!!!

I don't want to argue, everyone has their own beliefs but personally I'm an Agnostic and this is an example of why; what kind of "God" would let so many innocent children and young women get raped and murdered all because some sicko wants to get his rocks off or screw a kid???

Oh, no doubt it would give me satisfaction as well, but SHE still won't get a chance to grow up, fall in love, drive a car, go to the prom, get married...It is so wrong and unfair

EXCUSE YOU

YOUR GOD allowed this NOT mine. BLAME your false GOD
