A 24-year-old Shediac man has been charged with abduction of a child
under the age of 14 and failing to comply with an undertaking in
connection with the disappearance of a 13 year-old girl.
On May 4, 2012, Adam Radcliffe (photo, left) appeared in court and was remanded into
custody until May 18, 2012 at 9:30 a.m. when he will return to court to
enter a plea.
The 13-year-old girl had been reported missing from her home in Lower
Coverdale early on the morning of May 2. The District 11 RCMP, with the assistance of the District 3 RCMP and
the RCMP helicopter located the girl at around 1 p.m. on May 3,
travelling in a car on Highway 1 near Penobsquis. Radcliffe was driving the vehicle.
Police say tips from the public
helped in locating the girl and would like to thank the public for
their assistance.
