Victoria Stafford -- Found Deceased 7/19/09 -- Terri-Lynne McClintic and Michael Rafferty Convicted of First-Degree Murder

Victoria (Tori) Stafford was a beautiful eight year old girl, who was kidnapped on here way home from school. She was caught on camera almost willingly walying away with her abductor, turns out that the abducter Terri-Lynn Mclintic would later confess, and even with ties to the the family Terri-Lynn claims to have not known that Tori was the child of her aquaintance. Terri-Lynn Confessed to the kidnapping but claimed that her boy friend Micheal Raffery had murdered Tori and Terri-Lynn, lead police around for days attempting to locate the remains of Tori. As of earlier this month both had pleaded not guilty to kidnapping and murder and the remains of Tori had not been located.
However reported early this morning the remains of a small child had been located and are believed to be the remains of Tori, the location fits that of the area that Terri-Lynn confessed to as well as the landmarks. A positive Idenetification is currently in the works but it is believed to be Tori. Her family has made a public statement and they to believe it is that of Tori.
Lets just pray that justice will be served against those responsible for this, which all things considered points to the guilty parties being Terri-Lynn and Micheal.
Please take a moment and send your prayers to this family.

This link has many good pictures, please be prepared to cry. I have cried so many times today...
http://www.citynews.ca/news/news_36040.aspx

My mom wasn't doing so well today, but I did see the live shot of when the hearse drove past the officers who saluted the casket and I cried. Those officers tried so hard to find that little girl and they showed her so much respect when she was finally recovered.

I thought of you today Butterfly when I was watching the story unfold. I remember when I pm-ed you and wrote that a little girl in Woodstock, Ontario who has been abducted and could you possibly work on a forensic astrology chart for her? And I think that I may have helped to draw you in to the tragedy that unfolded.

I'm sorry to have brought to your attention more sadness, but I really appreciate that you've actively been here every step of the way throughout this story. If a child is missing anywhere in the world no matter where you are you will be concerned and even moreso if it is in your neighbourhood. I'm about 2 hours away from Woodstock, but it felt as if she was a child from my neighbourhood.

So it turns out that McClintic really was trying to help police locate Tori's remains. She gave LE all of the right landmarks but she was off by a few miles. That gave me some glimmer of hope that someone who took a child's life could at least find some common decency and try to put an end to the nightmare for the parents of the little girl.

I'm sorry to tell you this Butterfly, but the fact that McClintic's information proved to be usefull probably means that a deal will be struck and her 1st degree murder charged will be reduced. Canadian courts are infamous for the deals that the crown (prosecution) strikes with the defense. My guess is that she'll be convicted of manslaughter, abduction and possibly obstruction (remember the allegation that she helped Rafferty escape somehow? I still haven't heard how she did that or how he tried to do so).

God rest Tori's soul and bring peace to her loved ones and everyone who cares for her.

Lexi, I am so glad that you brought Tori's case to my attention, it breaks my heart that it has ended this way, but Lexi, we knew it would end this way. I am still 100 percent convinced and no one can convince me other wise that Her mother is not involved. I wish that the justice system would use logic every once in a while.
I know that probably now Terri-Lynn will be able to strick a dfeal, but it also depends on the evidence they find. If they can prove that Terri-Lynn commited the murder or was an active participant, I doubt they would let it slide with man slaughter, especially after that case in the 90's, up in Canada the husband and wife, who raped and killed little girls, he got life and she got a slap on the wrist then later they found video that proved she had a larger role in it, I doubt they will make that mistake again.
I hope poor Rodney and Daryne will be okay, we all need to keep them in our prayers.

Body found is Victoria Stafford

http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2009/07/21/stafford-murder021.html?ref=rss

I really don't think that Terri-Lynn was trying to help the family by trying to locate Tori's body.Sadly,I only think that she is trying to help herself get a reduced sentence.

Michelle, very sadly, I have to agree with you. Such a sad case there.

Michelle wrote:I really don't think that Terri-Lynn was trying to help the family by trying to locate Tori's body.Sadly,I only think that she is trying to help herself get a reduced sentence.

I think you're probably right, I was giving her too much credit. Someone who lures a young child to her rape and death couldn't possibly have any common decency.

*If* she does get a deal that is any way similar to the deal with the devil that Karla Homolka received there will be an uprising. Homolka said that the reason she left the country was that she was always looking over her shoulder waiting for retribution for what she did. And with good reason- there was even a website where you could guess the date that someone would kill her, and tens of thousands of people visited the site and put in their bet. (You could guess the date, but you were disqualified if you yourself killed her on that date.) I'm sure at some point someone would have tried to kill her, and if she returns here I doubt she'd be safe.

Does McClintic regret what she did? I doubt she is capable of feeling remorse. She probably wants to get out of jail before she's too old.

I hope finding Tori's body helps bring closure to her family. Hopefully, they will prosecute Rafferty and McClintic to the fullest extent of the law without any reduced charges.

I hope they have found her, but it's just so very difficult to comprehend...WHY, oh why.........oh why........

Suspect in Tori Stafford case makes court appearance
Canwest News Service June 12, 2009

Remains identified as missing girl Tori Stafford
http://www.canada.com/news/Remains+identified+missing+girl+Tori+Stafford/1811968/story.html
It was the conclusion everyone had dreaded, the sad end to the life of a happy, blond-haired, eight-year-old girl snatched after school in Woodstock, Ont., more than three months ago.

Ontario Provincial Police confirmed Tuesday that human remains found in a secluded country field over the weekend have been "positively identified" as those of third-grader Victoria (Tori) Stafford.

"Our community has gone through a terrible, terrible experience in these last three and a half months," Oxford community police Chief Rod Freeman said at a news conference.

"The discovery of Victoria's remains on Sunday will help us, bring us just a little bit of closure. Certainly, we hope that bringing Victoria to our community and her family will bring some sense of relief to . . . all the family."

The Centre for Forensic Sciences in Toronto used dental records to make the identification late Monday. Police say the forensic examination of the findings, described as "consistent" with how remains would appear if they were left out in the elements for a number of weeks, was ongoing.

Stafford's father, Rodney, briefly emerged from his home Tuesday to thank the police for their commitment to the case, and to plead with the public for any information that will bring justice in his daughter's death.

He described the news as "a living hell," and said very little else.

"We just lost our child . . . now it's been confirmed that we lost our child," he said.

The family intends to hold a private funeral for the little girl, but no date will be set until the forensic examination is complete and her body is returned to Woodstock, which could take weeks.

The girl's mother, Tara McDonald, was too distraught to speak to reporters Tuesday. A note left outside her home said she needed more time before she could address the public.

Tori's grandmother, Linda Winters, said she will never get to see her only granddaughter grow up or get her driver's licence.

"There is a part in my heart that aches for her smoochy kisses, her memories," she said, and then recalled a memory of Tori telling her how she swam with her eyes open under water.

Police said Tuesday they will not reveal how the girl died, citing it as evidence that will be presented in court.

Freeman said police will now be able to concentrate on preparing the court cases of the two people charged in her slaying.

"This discovery also helps us, in a big way, to bring this case to court. That will be the next step," he said.

Stafford's remains were found Sunday by a veteran police investigator searching on his own in a rural field about 500 metres off Concession No. 6, just east of Mount Forest, Ont., about 130 kilometres northwest of Toronto.

The detective, acting on a hunch, found the bones down a lonely dirt track in a secluded, heavily bushed area across the road from a grey, brick house surrounded by rolling, green farmland.

Stafford was last seen April 8 when video surveillance footage caught her willingly walking away from her school with a woman.

Investigators believe Stafford was kidnapped at random.

OPP Commissioner Julian Fantino on Tuesday credited dedicated police work for the discovery.

"As much as this is a very tragic event, no doubt, but the end result is a gratifying result that we can put before the court to see that justice is done," Fantino said.

The commissioner said "every resource imaginable" was used in this case, and it was only solved through the "commitment and absolute hard work" of the joint police forces.

About 80 police officers from several detachments and 25 Oxford community police officers had been working on the case every day since the young girl's disappearance.

"We are all grieving . . . about the tragic loss of an innocent child and the realization, once again, that evil does lurk, and that we need to be very mindful and very caring and very conscientious of the well-being of our children," Fantino said.

Police said the investigation into Stafford's death will continue, as a team of officers remained in the rural area in Mount Forest on Tuesday, searching for more clues near where the remains were found.

A car seat that investigators believed to be a major clue to the last hours she was alive has not been recovered.

During the search for Stafford, police enlisted the help of TV show America's Most Wanted, set up a tip line for information, and offered up a $10,000 reward.

It was only on May 20, more than a month after the girl disappeared that a couple — Terri-Lynne McClintic, 18, and Michael Rafferty, 28 — were charged in her death, even before her body was found.

Both lived just blocks away from the girl's family in Woodstock. McClintic is expected to appear in court via video on Aug. 12, according to her lawyer. Each is being tried separately.

Woodstock Mayor Michael Harding said Tuesday he was relieved that Stafford's body has been found.

"It has been many, many weeks of speculation," he said. "There was always the faint hope that she was going to be found alive in some circumstances. Today, it was not the case.

"It would've been a horrible circumstance if they were never able to find her remains; we'd always be looking, and hoping and waiting."

Harding said he saw Stafford's older brother, 11-year-old Daryn, last week. The boy has been forever changed by the realization he will never get to see his baby sister again, he said.

"Every community in every place has the possibility of evil," Harding said. "This community is not putting its head in the sand . . . but we should never ever turn our lives over to fear. The good things in Woodstock are still here. Our community is still a safe place to live, even though we are forced to live with this random act.

"How that will change us in large ways or small ways, only time will tell. We are not going to forget Tori."

Stafford remains determined
http://www.oxfordreview.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=1694672
Rodney Stafford left Huntsville, Ont., Monday morning as he continued his incredible "Kilometres for Kids" journey from Woodstock to Edmonton, Alta., to raise money for Child Find Ontario.

At 2:25 p.m., Stafford was travelling at 30.3 kilometres per hour along Highway 3, nearing the northern region of the province. While the recent weather had slowed his progress -- the thunderstorms and humidity weren't exactly conducive to long-distance cycling -- Stafford's determination had not wavered.

"I believe 120 kilometres per day is rushing what I am trying to accomplish," Stafford wrote in his Sunday blog entry. "Thank you to everyone for your support up to this point, and I hope you will continue to help me spread the word."

Conceived as a tribute to his late daughter Victoria, Stafford's lengthy journey began Wednesday, Aug. 6, from the parking lot of Woodstock's Calvary Church. After an emotional goodbye to family and friends, Stafford mounted his donated 27-speed Kona Sutra "asphalt" bike and began the first leg of his journey, travelling 128 kilometres by the end of the day.

"Got the (GPS) tracker working well, so everybody can see me moving along my route, which is pretty cool," Stafford wrote in his Thursday blog entry.

On Thursday, Stafford arrived in Barrie after another long day on his bike. On Friday and Saturday, the Woodstock man cycled through the Muskoka region, pedalling through cottage country as he continued his cross-country journey.

Stafford thanked his supporters for the more than 400 goodwill messages posted to the Kilometres for Kids website, saying the kind wishes helped when his "legs get tired."

Posted late Monday afternoon, "Ride on Rodney" was the most recent encouragement.

In the next few days, Stafford plans on making stops in Sudbury, Sault Ste. Marie and Kenora before crossing into Manitoba. He also intends to make stops in Winnipeg, Brandon, Regina and Saskatoon before arriving in Edmonton.

"I hope people can come out and show their support," he wrote.

When he finally does pull into Edmonton, Stafford has one final fundraiser planned with his sister Rebecca -- the auction of the Hear-Med Inc.-donated bike that carried him across Canada. After the formal end to his fundraising journey, Stafford is going to say a "final goodbye" to his daughter by releasing a single purple balloon from a Jasper-area mountain peak.

People who want to donate can visit a TD Canada Trust location and contribute directly to Kilometres for Kids (branch number: 0227 and account number: 5210920). All proceeds from Stafford's journey are being donated to Child Find Ontario.

Biking across Canada for Victoria Stafford

It was a national news story that gripped the nation earlier this spring when eight-year-old Victoria Stafford of Woodstock, Ontario went missing in early April and was later found murdered.

Now, Victoria’s father Rodney is making his way across most of Canada to raise funds and awareness for Child Find Canada, a national non-profit organization that is dedicated to searching for missing children.

After starting in Woodstock on Aug. 5, Stafford was in Huntsville at the Civic Square outside the Algonquin Theatre on Monday, meeting residents and collecting donations.

Called Kilometres for Kids, he said the trip initially began as something for himself, his son and his girlfriend to do together as a way to say goodbye to his daughter.

“It was just a way to go out there and release balloons, say goodbye to Victoria. It wasn’t supposed to be anything big,” Stafford said.

“But then my son couldn’t get permission to come and my girlfriend felt she couldn’t make it so it ended up becoming myself so I figured, what the heck, I’m doing it anyways, I might as well do it for a purpose.”

Stafford then connected with Child Find and Eye-zOn, a GPS tracking company that allows anyone to follow his progress online, which will follow him as he makes his way from Woodstock to Edmonton, Alberta.

Never an avid cyclist, Stafford said the trip has been “a little rough here and there,” but the support he’s received in the communities along the way has gone a long way to encourage him.

“Every fifth car honks or waves and you have vehicles pulling over and taking pictures and clapping and cheering me on. It makes you feel really good,” he said.

Victoria Stafford went missing from her school in Woodstock on April 8 after a security camera captured her walking away with a woman.

After months of searching, police located her remains on July 19 in a wooded area in southwestern Ontario.

Michael Rafferty, 28, and Terri-Lynne McClintic, 19, are charged with the kidnapping and murder of the little girl, and are expected to go to trial next year.

To date Stafford said he’s been cycling alone, with different people following him in a vehicle.

Although he had initially planned on cycling about 120 km per day and stopping in only a few communities along the way, Stafford said he now plans to increase the number of stops.

“The longer I’ve been on the road I’ve realized I’ve got to be hitting the little towns, I’ve got to be spending some time there,” he said.

Stafford made stops in Gravenhurst and Bracebridge before coming to Huntsville and said he hopes to stop in some communities along the way to North Bay before heading on to Sudbury.

He said he has no set plans or schedules, but hopes to make it to Edmonton by September — before the snow.

Armed with an empty water jug to collect donations, Stafford said he’s not keeping track of what’s donated, “just fill the bucket and make a big deposit at the end.”

Stafford is also keeping a blog of his progress, which can be viewed, along with his satellite location, at www.eye-zon.com.

In Huntsville on Monday, many residents and town staff came up to drop a donation in the bucket, shaking Stafford’s hand and passing on their condolences.

One woman told Stafford she had two daughters herself, and couldn’t imagine what he had gone through losing his little girl. As Stafford wrote in his blog entry on Sunday, “Tori, if (you’re) listening, I’ll continue to ride (on) the front of the seat so you can sit with me.”

McClintic appears in court
The lawyer for the 19-year-old woman accused of kidnapping and murdering Victoria "Tori" Stafford declined to comment Wednesday on the possibility of a plea deal for her client.

While lawyer Jeanine LeRoy has raised the prospect of a plea bargain in the past -- pointing to her client's co-operation with investigators during the initial police search for Tori's remains -- she was much more circumspect after Terri-Lynne McClintic's morning court appearance.

"I expect I will be speaking to the Crown after I review the disclosure and discuss it with my client, but that's a long way away" LeRoy said outside the Oxford County Court House. "I have no comment anymore about any speculation that there is or will be a resolution to this matter."

During McClintic's brief video appearance from the Elgin-Middlesex Detention Centre, the court heard that LeRoy had just received a "significant amount of disclosure" from the Crown Attorney's office. As a pale McClintic stood silently, her dark hair pulled back from her face, LeRoy asked the court for an adjournment "to allow my client and myself an opportunity to review that disclosure."

When asked later about the quantity of the disclosed evidence, LeRoy said the Crown had provided her with the equivalent of a computer hard drive.

"It's going to take a substantial amount of time to review," she said. "Much of (the disclosure), as you know, comes from my client.

"We will wade through all of it and make a determination which way we will go."

Before the morning court appearance, LeRoy actually had a 15-minute meeting with London-based Crown Attorney Geoff Beasley, who is handling McClintic's prosecution.

During this brief encounter, Beasley said he and LeRoy had been "discussing some disclosure." LeRoy also had a short telephone conversation with her client before requesting the six-week adjournment.

McClintic is alleged to be the young woman shown walking with Tori in the grainy video footage that became a critical piece of evidence in the OPP-Oxford Community Police Service investigation. McClintic and 28-year-old Michael Rafferty, the man also accused of kidnapping and murdering the eight-year-old Woodstock girl, were arrested on May 19, almost six weeks after Tori disappeared. An OPP officer eventually discovered the little girl's remains in a field in the Mount Forest area during a late July search.

McClintic is next scheduled to appear on Thursday, Oct. 1, while Rafferty is slated to return to court on Friday, Aug. 21.

I finally took down the missing child posters from my myspace account, facebook and CSO, It was probably the hardest thing I have done in a long time.
Its amazing how children you never know such as Tori, Caylee, Haleigh, Sandra, can somehow make thier way into your heart and how heart breaking things like this are.

It is very heartbreaking Butterfly. There is always hope that a missing child will be found safe, but much too often the search ends tragically.

Michael Rafferty is pleading not guilty to the murder of Tori. There is an enormous amount of evidence to go though before the case proceeds and the trial might not start until 2011. http://www.cbc.ca/canada/toronto/story/2009/08/21/ont-stafford-rafferty.html#socialcomments-submit

Does anybody think it is possible that Terri-Lynne McClintic acted alone in killing Tori?

Does anybody think it is possible that Terri-Lynne McClintic acted alone in killing Tori?

Honestly I do, believe she did. Of course I do not know much about Rafferty because you can not find out anything and not much has been said. All we have really heard is Terri-lynns side of the story, however on the other hand supposedly there is a survallence video from the home depot that shows them together so maybe they do have evidence maybe he is involved.
The part I will never get over is that I am 110 percent sure that Tara is involved and I think she is getting away with it. You can not tell me she is not involvedThe statement that Tara said about just drop her off in a field some where, and then guess what she is found in a field, there are just so many things that in my opinion says she was involved or at least knew and allowed it, maybe to pay off a debt. I dont know, but if she does get away with it here God knows the truth and in my opinion thats all that matters.

I hope Tara had nothing to do with this but you never know with people. I think I remember reading that Rafferty was in tears at once of his court appearances awhile back claiming he didn't do it, but that doesn't mean much. He might have been in tears thinking about what would happen to a child killer in prison. If the surveillance video from the Home Depot shows McClintic and Rafferty together on the day Tori disappeared, it will be very hard to believe his claim that he's innocent.

Father of slain Ontario girl Victoria Stafford cycles into Edmonton

EDMONTON — Tired, relieved and a little elated, Rodney Stafford peddled into Edmonton Saturday, completing his 3,400 kilometre cycling journey in memory of his slain daughter Victoria.
Stafford's life was turned upside down in April when little 'Tori', 8, was abducted and killed after leaving school in Woodstock, Ont.
His gruelling 45-day bicycle trip, where he averaged about 70 kilometres per day, has raised awareness about child abduction and helped him deal with some of the pain of his loss.
"It has put a lot of relief into me," said Stafford, his face burned from the prairie wind and sun, his eyes glassy with fatigue.
"I keep remembering all the good times with Victoria. It is like I am filling a void."

I feel bad for Rodney, but I'm glad he's doing something positive to raise awareness about child abduction. It sounds like that cycling journey was a good way for him to keep busy while dealing with his grief.

Accused woman faces murder charge in Tori case

WOODSTOCK, Ont. — Eighteen-year-old Terri-Lynne McClintic, one of the accused in the disappearance of eight-year-old Victoria (Tori) Stafford, had her charge upgraded Thursday to first-degree murder.

McClintic had previously been charged with abduction and accessory after the fact to murder. Her co-accused, 28-year-old Michael Rafferty, also faces one count of first-degree murder.

The two were arrested May 20 and appeared in a Woodstock courtroom via videolink Thursday. No details were provided in court as to why the charges against McClintic were upgraded to murder.

Outside court, McClintic's lawyer, Jeanine LeRoy, said her client will be tried separately from Rafferty, but could not give a reason for the decision. She said McClintic continues to be willing to help police in the search for Tori's body.

"She has not been asked of late to be physically present to help in the search — but her attitude hasn't changed in that regard," she said. "The judge's order allowing (her to search) ended, and she was no longer able to assist. Her attitude remains the same . . . to co-operate fully. That was her goal. It remains her goal in order to help police find Tori and bring Tori home."

Rafferty's defence lawyer, also speaking outside court, said he was surprised there would now be two trials. Rafferty continues to face one count of first-degree murder and one count of unlawful confinement, changed from the previous charge of abduction.

"It is unusual to try them separately," said Hal Mattson. "You would think they would have (McClintic) testify against (Rafferty), obviously, and so we'll have to see what she says and what information comes forward."

The Crown was silent about a possible deal pitting one against the other, which could create a huge backlash.

Over a decade ago, the Crown made a deal with Karla Homolka to testify against her husband Paul Bernardo. It resulted in her serving only 12 years in jail in what became known as the "deal with the devil."

Before the proceedings, the judge told people in the packed courtroom he understood it was an emotional time and expressed condolences to Tori's family, but he cautioned them not to get emotional in the court once the suspects appeared on screen.

While the courtroom was packed with friends and family, Sara Leeper, who is best friends with Tori's mother, Tara MacDonald, said she was still too devastated to attend. Leeper said she was pleased to hear of McClintic's upgraded murder charge.

"It's not enough, though," she said. "(Whoever took Tori's life) should spend the rest of their life in jail. No parole."

Mattson said his client "was very in control of himself (Thursday)," adding that Rafferty was trying to adjust to being in a jail cell and remained on suicide watch.

"We all forget that being in a jail cell is a foreign environment — and now that he has been in jail for a little while, I think, just like when you put a dog in a kennel, unfortunately, when you put someone in a cell, they get used it."

When asked by a reporter if his client had shown remorse, Mattson replied: "I haven't asked him that question, so he hasn't replied to it."

Mattson said he had no idea what the evidence was against his client.

Meanwhile, police investigators continued to search for the eight-year-old girl's remains.

"They had anticipated continuing their search on the (Highway) 401 corridor between Woodstock and Guelph, (Ont.,) which is basically a large area," Const. Laurie-Anne Maitland said Thursday. "That's going to take a substantial amount of time."

Maitland said investigators also returned to a landfill site in Wellington County after asking for the public's assistance in their search for the grey, cloth-covered back seat of a car believed to have been used in the abduction of the Woodstock child.

"The investigation has led them to go back there," Maitland said. "So certainly, one of the pieces of evidence, namely the car seat, is certainly one thing they're looking for."

Police investigators are also urging property owners within a 50-minute drive of the City of Guelph to check their fields and report any suspicious or significant changes they notice to landscape or familiar landmarks.
