Police search uncle’s property for missing girl
Police have turned their attention to the uncle of missing 12-year-old Brooke Bennett, a registered sex offender who is being charged with sexually assaulting another girl.
The alleged victim of the sex assaults, a relative of [Michael] Jacques, told police Jacques assaulted her during a five-year period, beginning when she was 9 years old and ending a few weeks ago, Orange County State’s Attorney Will Porter said.
Meanwhile, Jacques, pronounced “Jakes,” was being described as “a person of interest” in last Wednesday’s disappearance of Bennett. Col. James Baker, commander of the Vermont State Police, said investigators narrowed their probe and began focusing on Jacques based on information developed late Saturday and early Sunday through computer forensics.
