Body of a “young child” discovered may be missing girl from Woodstock, Ont.
Police Commissioner Julian Fantino said this morning that human remains found northeast of Woodstock, Ont., may be those of Tori Stafford. The eight-year-old girl has been missing since April 8. Since then, police have been searching for her body in the Guelph and Fergus, Ont., areas, south of where the remains of a “young child” were discovered at about noon on Sunday. “We have some very strong leads that cause us to believe that we have in fact located the human remains of Tori Stafford,” Fantino said. Two Woodstock residents – Michael Rafferty and Terri-Lynne McClintic, have been charged with kidnapping and first-degree murder, in connection with Tori’s disappearance. McClintic has been assisting investigators’ search for the child’s body. The remains will be taken to Toronto for forensic investigation.
