It’s been one year since Victoria Stafford went missing while walking home from her Woodstock school.
The bright, smiling 8-year-old disappeared on April 8th, 2009, setting off a desperate search that touched hearts across the country.
Her remains were found three months later in a wooded area near Mount Forest.
Two people are charged with her murder. Michael Rafferty and Terri-Lynne McClintic face kidnapping and first-degree murder charges.
A year later her grandmother, Doreen Graichen says the family is coping, but they can’t properly deal with their grief without answers. She says they need to know what happened, but also don’t want to know.
Victoria’s dad, Rodney Stafford, says this April 8th will be harder than last year, because last year he had hope his daughter would come home.
