(Scot Yount, NECN: Bethel, VT) - Shock and sadness in the town of Randolph, Vermont. The search for Brooke Bennett has come to an end. The 12-year-old's body was found just before 5:00 Wednesday afternoon, not far from the home owned by her uncle, Michael Jacques. An Affidavit made public says Jacques allegedly planned to force Brooke into a sex ring. Bennett was last seen alive with her uncle at a convenience store more than a week ago. Col. James Baker calls the death "clearly suspicious" but declined to give further details. A news conference is scheduled for Thursday morning. NECN's Scot Yount has more.
