    Police also revealed yesterday the abductor -- an unknown woman -- and Tori crossed a street and headed into the parking lot of a nursing home.

    The video released yesterday was taken from the same surveillance camera that caught Tori walking with an unidentified woman April 8. It was the last time Tori was seen.

    LOL Timmins has more news then us and they are like hundreds of miles away the other way.Thats where Shania Twain was born.Think theres only in the hundreds of people there but dont quote me I just know its smaller then The Soo where Im from.Alot of the reason we arent getting alot of news on her here is b/c Im in Windsor on river across from Detr and right now the auto industry is all thats on our news.Not defending but thats why I have to search at night for news on it.Very paranoid people here right now with the auto and I guess nothing else matters to them.

    Isnt it the rule of the first 24 hours are critcal in getting back alive and the odds go down from there.So they wait 576 hours to release pics a month old??Didnt issue amber alert,every missing child should have amber alert.I dont mean when they are late coming back with friends or anything but when e1s been called, parks,playgrounds checked and its a young child after so many hours amber alert needs to be called before the person that takes them doesnt get to far with them.Samantha Runnion few yrs back they did it right away and got great tips but was still to late for her.But maybe the next child it wont be to late

    Police seize Tori Stafford mom's computer

    By RANDY RICHMOND, LONDON FREE PRESS

    The London Free Press

    WOODSTOCK -- Police seized and are holding the computer of the mother of missing eight-year-old Victoria (Tori) Stafford, she confirmed yesterday, but her ex-husband's family seems to have kept theirs.

    But neither the seizure nor police surveillance of her house bothers her, said Tara McDonald, who focused not on the stories swirling around her, but on getting Tori home.

    "My computer was seized . . . My mom's computer has been seized, any computer the kids have had access to has been seized."

    Police told her they took the computers to see if anyone had sent strange messages to Tori or her brother Daryn, 10, either through e-mail or children's websites such as Webkinz and Build-a-Bear, she said.

    "That's what they were looking into -- anything that didn't make sense," she said.

    Asked if any of his family members had their computers taken, Tori's father and McDonald's ex-husband, Rodney Stafford, said, "No, not that I know of."


    As the pair spoke, an officer with Oxford Community police videotaped their comments, as he has for weeks.

    McDonald said the daily police presence, including the stream of police cars that drive through her neighbourhood and park on the street, doesn't bother her.

    "I don't really think about it. I just come and go in my regular routine and I don't pay attention."

    Tori was last seen April 8 leaving Oliver Stephens elementary school on Fyfe Ave., where she's in Grade 3. She was seen on videotape, shot from a surveillance camera at a nearby high school, walking north up Fyfe with an unknown woman.

    Her parents expressed surprise yesterday at how their little girl, known for being "pokey," made it off the school grounds so fast with a stranger no one noticed.

    The videotape from the high school shows Tori and the unidentified woman walking north on Fyfe at 3:32 p.m., about two minutes after the girl left school.

    "That seems very strange," McDonald said. When they lived two doors from the school, her daughter didn't get home until about 3:45 p.m. she said. "She's pokey. She takes her time putting her coat on. She talks to all her friends. I found it very, very odd that at 3:32 she was fully dressed, had her bag and was up the hill."

    Stafford said he can't believe parents, bus drivers, classmates and others watched Tori leave with a perfect stranger without noticing something amiss.

    "Somebody has had to see something. Now, I'd just like somebody to start talking and we can bring out daughter home."

    For the first time since she began holding daily news conferences, McDonald missed one Tuesday.

    Yesterday, she gave short answers weighed with exhaustion.

    "Up until 10 minutes ago, I wasn't planning on coming out here today. I'm drained," she said.

    With Mother's Day looming, McDonald said she's becoming frustrated. This will be the first Mother's Day spent without both her children, she said. "I would really hope to have my child home for Mother's Day," she said.

    I either saw or read the mother going on about how drained she is and all. I wonder how drained little Tori is, you know, with being kidnapped and all.

    I hadn't heard about the nursing home visit until just now. I wonder what else is on there?

    Whisperwing....still have my fingers crossed for you and your road trip.

    'It's not me'
    Fri, May 8, 2009
    Mom's friend reacts to assertions she bears a strong resemblance to girl's abductor

    By RANDY RICHMOND, LONDON FREE PRESS


    At left is a composite drawing of a mystery woman sought in the disappearance of Tori Stafford. At right is a photograph of Sara Leeper, best friend of Tori's mother, Tara McDonald.


    Chronology of a missing girl

    WOODSTOCK -- She bears an uncanny resemblance to the abductor of Victoria (Tori) Stafford in a police sketch and a surveillance video.

    She's been questioned repeatedly by police and they've searched her house.

    She's heard the accusations by Woodstock residents, and seen herself convicted online on Facebook.

    She's the best friend of Tori's mother, Tara McDonald, and accompanied her on an infamous limousine ride.

    She's said nothing publicly, until now.

    Sara Leeper told The Free Press yesterday -- contrary to all the rumours -- she had nothing to do with the abduction of Tori Stafford.

    "It's not me," she said in an exclusive interview. "I haven't done anything. It's ridiculous."

    Leeper, a housewife and mother, has been thrust into the spotlight by a series of events that began with Tori's abduction April 8.


    Leeper's appearances at news conferences and vigils prompted members of Facebook groups to note the similarity between her and an unknown woman seen with with Tori on a surveillance tape the afternoon she disappeared.

    The accusations intensified after police released a composite sketch of the woman and further description from a witness's account on April 21.

    Many Woodstock residents have said they tipped off the police about the similarities between Leeper and the mystery woman.

    Neighbours said police have interviewed them about the Leepers.

    One father said police asked his children about seeing any "extra kids" on the street.

    Police have been to her house three times, Leeper said.

    "The cops keeping asking me, 'you have to know something,' " Leeper said. "I have nothing."

    Police have searched her house, with no need for a warrant, she said.

    "I let them in. I am trying to be co-operative."

    She spoke openly with The Free Press. The only question she didn't answer is if she had taken a lie detector test.

    Sitting on her spacious backyard deck on the modern home she rents, Leeper described a normal family life disrupted by the accusations.

    Her husband works in a body shop and she's licensed to sell cars. They raise a girl, 9, and a boy, 13, from her first marriage.

    "We're pretty normal. We try to make the best lives for our children."

    She and McDonald have known each other since Grade 6.

    "Tara and I were really super close when we were younger. We are close but we have taken different paths."

    Those different paths took Leeper out of Woodstock. For the past six years, the pair kept in touch mainly by Internet and phone calls.

    Leeper missed her hometown, but her husband and children didn't want to move.

    "I fought tooth and nail to come here," she said, with a laugh. "I love Woodstock. I still do."

    She moved a week before Tori was abducted -- another sign, say her accusers, of something suspicious.

    In that week, though, Leeper said, she didn't get a chance to meet Tori.

    Police say Tori knew her abductor well enough to leave school with her.

    "Tori couldn't pick me out of a crowd," Leeper said. "I don't even know Tori."

    Police have asked Leeper to account for her whereabouts the day of the abduction.

    "I don't remember. Got up, put the kids on the bus, maybe cleaned the house, maybe got groceries," she told The Free Press.

    The afternoon Tori was abducted, she was waiting at home for her own children to get off the school bus -- as she does every day, Leeper said.

    When police released the composite sketch, her first reaction was "oh oh," Leeper said, because of the similarities.

    "Absolutely I did because I am Tara's best friend. This is an obvious conclusion to come to."

    But Leeper said there are several differences between her appearance and the descriptions of the abductor given by police.

    The abductor, police say, is about 5'2" and about 125 lbs.

    Leeper said she's 5'5" and 155 lbs.

    "I am no little toothpick."

    The abductor is described as between 19 and 25.

    Leeper is 31.

    The abductor is described as white, and Leeper is half Ojibway.

    The abductor has long straight hair. Leeper's is curly.

    The abductor didn't wear glasses. Leeper said she wears sunglasses outside at all times because of one "lazy eye" that inhibits her ability to focus in daylight.

    At home, she wears reading glasses, "24/7," Leeper said.

    Leeper backed up McDonald's story that on April 23 they and two others were whisked by limo to meet a mysterious benefactor in Toronto who offered to help with any ransom money.

    It was "exactly the way Tara explained it. It happened. We were nervous. You do what you can."

    Occasionally, Leeper will show up before or during the daily news conferences McDonald holds on her front lawn.

    "They can say whatever they want about me. I am not going to desert my friend," Leeper said.

    "The cops, it's no secret they suspect her (McDonald), which is crazy. When it comes to being a mother, she is exceptional. Because I am her best friend, they automatically suspect me."

    Leeper said she's been tempted to respond online to allegations.

    "I haven't been replying to them because I don't want to give them any more ammunition. They are going off on one picture."

    Leeper said she's co-operated with police, letting them search her house without a warrant.

    Hanging on the back of a chair in full view during that search was her own white jacket, a different style than the one worn by the abductor, Leeper said.

    "My white coat has burgundy sleeves. It is not stylish. It is to go tobogganing with children in."

    At first, Leeper said, she treated the accusations as a joke.

    Now, she worries about their long-term effect.

    "I like peace in my life. This is absolutely destroying me. You think I will be able to get a job in this town after this?"

    Randy Richmond is a Free Press reporter. randy.richmond@sunmedia.ca

    They can say whatever they want about me. I am not going to desert my friend.

    OTHER DEVELOPMENTS

    Other developments yesterday in the Tori Stafford case:

    -- Police in Calgary searched the house of her brother, John Jacklin's, and his mother, Tori's mother, Tara McDonald said."The fact that they are out and checking, we appreciate that they are looking into everything," McDonald said. Jacklin had been helping McDonald the past two weeks, but had to return to Calgary earlier this week, McDonald said.

    -- Tori's school was given a list of three people who were allowed to pick her up each day, McDonald said. Those three were herself, her boyfriend's mother and a girlfriend who lived in a townhouse complex with her at the beginning of the school year, she said. McDonald said she did not call the school to give anyone else permission to pick up Tori that day. "Normally, if a child was leaving with somebody that didn't belong to them, then some sort of alarm should have been raised," she said.

    the mom's best friend since 6th grade looks exactly like the (very well done) sketch of the suspect.

    the moms friend just returned to town the week before tori's disappearance.

    given the mom's wild & crazy comments in face of "abduction" - wonder if mom convinced bff to return to town & exchange her daughter for a drug debt??

    i know it sounds far fetched, but one of my good pals in defender ofc told me of several individuals telling them (out of fear) about a well known missing child case - that the kid wasnt really missing, but used as collateral while gambling . . . & parent lost. story was kid picked up by new "owner" & is now buried just outside of town. (ive spoken with detectives on that case about this & they assure me that's been ruled out in favor of what they are confident really happened, they just cant prove - but certainly makes u think)
    I have LRM disease. You can find me in a
    DD 12 step program - soon, hopefully.

    I have never heard of a family asking for handouts while searching for a kid.Normallyafter a body is found accounts are set up at a bank for donations to help with burial.
    Both Cayley Anthony's and Haleigh Cummings' families had/have collections going before the body was/has been found. Both cases where something was/is off, granted........

    Well yesterday was a washout basically.Severe weather,hail the size of golf balls and a tornado!!So wasnt best day.I got ahold of name of that search team that came down from Ottawa b/c they are supposebly coming back next weekend.I hope shes found safe by then.As I said my friends hubbys a cop and he said the talk is shes alive,but hes not a cop there so hes only going on whats hes heard or talked with other cops about.So I am coming back next weekend but I will come down friday night.Woke up this morning to 6 shot at a house party near here!!Toronto is quickly becoming Ontarios Detroit.Heres a story I found in Windsor Paper(which shocked me) http://www.windsorstar.com/news/Accu...127/story.html,,,,,Accusations anger mom,,,
    The mother of a missing eight-year-old Ontario girl lashed out at "ignorant" people Friday as she expressed her sadness and frustration at the speculation surrounding her missing daughter.

    Victoria Stafford's mother, Tara McDonald, said she is tired of gossip and rumours that she is somehow involved in the disappearance of her child and urged people to focus on Tori.
    Very defensive in her wording & shes really known for showing no emotion about Tori(tears) but shes also known as very defensive and argumentative!!
    She said she tells her son Daryn, 10, to be strong in the face of online chatter.

    "Daryn bawled his eyes out the other day," McDonald said. "He said 'I don't understand why people are doing this to you mom.' "

    The pair plan to spend a quiet Mother's Day together.

    They don't have concrete plans but the hope is Tori, missing now for one month, will be home, McDonald said.

    "I've never ever in all of their lives ever spent a Mother's Day without both of them together," she said.

    As police continued their investigation, McDonald said her brother's house and his mother's house outside of Calgary were searched by officers.

    Oxford Community Police said Friday they could not confirm the searches took place.

    McDonald said police also took her computer and her mother's computer.

    She also said she feels "awful" that her best friend is now the target of town talk. McDonald said it was "ridiculous" to think a composite sketch -- released by police of a woman last seen walking with Tori -- looked anything like her friend who has been by her side since her daughter went missing.

    "There is nobody to point a finger at," McDonald said. "So when they are done pointing a finger at me they have to find somebody else and they continue to point a finger at me and at my friends."

    She said she has an appointment with a lawyer next week to look into "all the slander" that has been written about her.

    Flanked by her ex-husband, Rodney Stafford during her daily briefing with media outside her Woodstock house Friday, McDonald was in mid-sentence talking about the "unfair" spotlight on her friend when Stafford interrupted.

    "If you think about it, it's not fair to us. Somebody stole our child. It is not fair to us that we have to go through this everyday. Cameras in our face. Police in our face. We have to go through this every day. Unfortunately she has to too, because she does have a similarity to that sketch."

    Good or bad, as long as people continue to talk about his daughter, Stafford said it will keep her story out in the public eye.

    "If it's got to be negative stuff out on the Internet, whatever. It's keeping it out there," he said.

    Tori has not been seen since April 8 when she went missing while walking home after school.

    On Friday, Rodney Stafford recounted how he went to an event for his daughter just outside Woodstock Thursday night and was approached by a 10-year-old boy who handed him a four-leaf clover he had found in the grass.

    "(He) gave it to me," Stafford said. "It instantly brought a tear to my eye

    I am really hoping I can get more stuff done during the week from my place before I come back up.I saw some pictures up but nothing like I wouldve expected.I talked to some people too and that sketch is a clone of moms friend and theres a real story with her but it just hasnt come out yet.The people I did speak too at resturants and stores all believe this is the woman that needs to be arrested.So I have as feeling thats going to happen soon according to the gossipers lol!!And alot of the time the small town gossip turns out to be true.Im hoping next weekend will be nicer weather and be able to walk around more and see whats happening

    WAY to go Whisperwing!!!!!!!!!! I have to admit that I am a bit envious. All the years I've been following crime like I have I've never been anywhere close to a big case. Too bad the weather had to suck though. Stupid weather. Your hubby sounds like an alright kind of guy. Is he interested in crime as well?

    Thanks for the info.

    I was also wondering if you have gotten to read Small Sacrifices yet? If so, what'd you think?

    LOL ty ,yeah I had fun kinda asking questions of the people we met at resturants and stores etc.I really wish the weather was better and looking at radar right now so far next weekend looks pretty good.I really hope they find her safe by then and the story has a happy ending.My husband is a great guy,hes not into crime like I am.I always have been but his uncle was murdered by our bestman/best friend yrs ago and after living in St.Catherines yrs ago when Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka were on their spree,and Kristen being taken from almost our back yard it really got me interested.He just kinda goes along with it and each week we go to book store and he buys me my books I want to read up on and gets his books he reads each week.With kids grown and away in schools now and getting married I like to go on weekend trips like we did when we can.We have animal rescue though and have to plan ahead to get away and he works away sometimes 2 weeks out of country at a time.I havent read Small Sacrifices yet I have 150 pages left of "The End Of The Dream" by her that I plan on finishing tonight or tomorrow at work if I get a quiet night.Sometimes I do sometimes I dont I have 36 alzhiemers patients all to me at night lol so I hope to start Small Sacrifices tomorrow latest!!

    The search for a missing Ontario girl has come to Alberta.

    This week, Ontario Provincial Police detectives went to a home in northwest Calgary and one east of the city to try and get information to find Tori Stafford, an eight-year-old abducted April 8 in Woodstock, Ont.

    Calgary police and local RCMP confirmed they assisted OPP during their searches but could not comment further.

    Tara McDonald, Tori's mother, said the Calgary homes of her brother and his mother were searched.

    She said John Jacklin, who stood by his sister ever since Tori went missing, had flown home to Calgary on Monday.

    On Wednesday, McDonald said police seized computers which Tori had access to, to see if she had received any suspicious e-mails.

    A $50,000 reward has been offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of whoever abducted Tori.

    The Grade 3 student has not been seen since leaving her school with a mystery woman wearing a puffy white coat.

    She also said she feels "awful" that her best friend is now the target of town talk. McDonald said it was "ridiculous" to think a composite sketch -- released by police of a woman last seen walking with Tori -- looked anything like her friend who has been by her side since her daughter went missing.

    "There is nobody to point a finger at," McDonald said. "So when they are done pointing a finger at me they have to find somebody else and they continue to point a finger at me and at my friends."



    She can insist all she likes that the friend didn't do it, but I would be more inclined to believe her if she would admit that the likeness is uncanny.

    The father can see it. Why cannot she?

    WOODSTOCK — Tara McDonald, mother of missing eight-year-old Victoria "Tori" Stafford was a no-show at the daily press conferences held by the family at McDonald's Frances Street home.

    Rodney Stafford, Tori's father showed up only to find Tara was not home. He received a message from her at the beginning of the press conference confirming that she would not be in attendance.

    Stafford took questions from the media ranging in topic from sightings in western Canada to how long he will continue to participate in the daily press conferences.

    Stafford again thanked everyone for their continued support, but again stated that he just wants his daughter home.

    Anyone I spoke to in the town all believe that mom knows all and the sketch is a clone to moms friend.I know theres always gossip in smaller towns.This ones bigger then where I am from BUT I have learned over the yrs alot of the time small time gossip holds SOME TRUTH.I know from the attitudes of people there they believe its people known to mom and her boyfriend.I said it last week and Ill say it again I think she can feel the noose tightening around her neck and she can see it all closing in on her.Her recent "non showing up at daily conference" (shes done it a few times now).I wouldnt be shocked if she runs at some point.And I hate when parents are targeted in some cases but shes made herself a target in this case.

    I just actually thought of this.Maybe I missed it but I dont recall if they ever said who provided the sketch??Is it from witness's??Im curious,cant be from the video they released b/c thats been the prob from beginning that you cant make it b/c its so grainy.So who all of a sudden saw this woman enough to be able to make such a perfect sketch???Im not defending anyone but thats a really clone like sketch could it be someone that knows something and gave that info for the sketch on purpose??Its just odd that the videos no good to see anything at all including seeing Victoria walking away with her /cant see face and cant see car clear either.So how do they get such a detailed sketch???
