Sheriff’s Department. The state medical examiner's office says the
15-year-old girl allegedly lured to her death by 20-year-old Kyle Dube
using a phony Facebook profile died from asphyxiation. The trial of now
21-year-old Dube, of Orono, is expected to begin.
BANGOR, Maine—The mother of a Maine teenager who police say was lured to her death with a fake Facebook page has testified that the suspect offered to baby-sit her other children after the girl’s disappearance.
Kristine Wiley says Kyle Dube, of Orono, reached out to her after 15-year-old Nichole Cable disappeared in May 2013.
Wiley says Dube first told her he had heard Wiley said he was responsible for Nichole’s disappearance.
Wiley says she denied the accusation. She says that Dube then told her “if I needed anything, call” and that he would watch her other children for her. She says she never took him up on the offer.
Dube’s trial got underway Monday in Bangor. He faces murder and kidnapping charges.
