Mom: Suspect in Facebook Abduction Case Offered to Baby-Sit

By Patrick Whittle, The Associated Press
BANGOR, Maine - The mother of a Maine teenager who police say was lured to her death with a fake Facebook page has testified that the suspect offered to baby-sit her other children after the girl's disappearance.

Kristine Wiley says Kyle Dube was a friend of her daughter's who came by their house two or three times before her disappearance. She says he reached out to her after 15-year-old Nichole Cable disappeared in May 2013.

Wiley says Dube first told her he had heard Wiley said he was responsible for Nichole's disappearance.

Wiley says she denied the accusation. She says Dube told her he would watch her other children for her. She didn't take him up on the offer.

Dube's trial got underway Monday in Bangor. He faces murder and kidnapping charges.
