Vermont State Police say they have found a body believed to be that of 12-year-old Brooke Bennett, who was last seen alive with her uncle a week ago.
The body was found in Randolph shortly before 5 p.m. ET and her family was notified, said Police Col. James Baker.
According to an affidavit released today, a 14-year-old witness told investigators that Brooke's uncle, Michael Jacques, took her to his home to initiate her into a child sex ring the day she disappeared, the Rutland Herald reports. Jacques is a convicted sex offender.
The unidentified witness told police that she was in the car when Bennett was dropped off at a Randolph convenience store last week, and that Jacques told her that Bennett would be having sex with adult men.
Jacques is in police custody on unrelated sex charges.
