Stepdad in 2004 Mom-Daughter Runaway Case Facing Charges

Scott Kelley fled with his wife, Genevieve Kelley, and her then-8-year-old daughter in 2004

The stepfather of a girl who was taken out of the United States a decade ago amid a custody dispute has been brought back to New Hampshire to face charges.

Scott Kelley fled with his wife, Genevieve Kelley, and her then-8-year-old daughter in 2004.

The Kelleys face custodial interference and witness tampering charges. They are scheduled to be arraigned Thursday in Coos County.

The 50-year-old Scott Kelley was arrested last month in Atlanta after he and the daughter, 19-year-old Mary Nunes, arrived on a flight from Costa Rica. He was jailed in Georgia and was brought back to New Hampshire Wednesday.

Genevieve Kelley turned herself in to authorities in November. A trial is scheduled for Friday, but it's expected to be delayed. Scott Kelley plans to testify on her behalf.
