Matthew Toole, Talia Furman, Jayme LaPointe, and David Bailey were arrested by authorities after an investigation discovered their heinous plan
Four people from Southwest Michigan have been charged over their plans to kidnap, rape, and kill a child. Michigan State Police say they discovered evidence of a plan from the four to find a random child at a local county fair or in a parking lot of a Walmart or Meijer store. According to the Office of Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette, the group then intended to torture and sexually assault the child until he or she was dead and then dispose of the body.
USA Today reported the suspects as 32-year-old Matthew Toole of Battle Creek, his 32-year-old girlfriend Talia Furman of Springfield, 19-year-old Jayme LaPointe of Athens, and 37-year-old David Bailey, formerly of Kalamazoo and now of Coldwater.
