Brooke Bennett, the 12-year-old girl from Vermont who
went missing on June 25 and was found dead a week later, will be laid to rest
on July 9, at the Randolph Union High School. According to Fox44 News, a wake was
set for Tuesday night at the same location.
The girl’s body was found Wednesday. Police said that her
body was buried near Michael Jacques’ house. The man is charged with using a
facility of interstate commerce for the purpose of kidnapping, referring to
e-mail and Internet. Depending on what evidence is found regarding Brooke Bennett’s
death, her uncle Michael Jacques could be sentenced to death or spend the rest
of his life in jail.
Court documents have proven that her uncle planned to initiate
Brooke Bennett into a child sex ring. The FBI said that a 14-year-old girl told
investigators she had been with Brooke Bennett and with Michael Jacques on June
25. She also said he planned to initiate Brooke Bennett into a sex ring. Also, Brooke Bennett's former stepfather Raymond Gagnon was charged with obstruction of
justice as he tried to modify some postings from Brooke Bennett’s MySpace page,
in order to make it look like the 12-year-old girl had a secret date before she
disappeared.
Police didn’t make public the cause of her death. On July 12,
Brooke Bennett would have turned 13.
