Kyle Dube is being charged in the killing of 15-year old Nichole Cable after staging her kidnapping and accidentally murdering her. The Orono native is said to have lured Cable out of her house using a fake Facebook account and planned to fake her kidnapping only to rescue her and become a hero. Cable had been reported missing since May 13.

According the Huffington Post, an affidavit released yesterday says the 20-year old Dube set up a phony social media account using one of Cable’s friend’s name and baited her in leaving her house in Old Town. Dube is said to have been waiting in the woods nearby wearing a ski mask when he grabbed her, duct taped her mouth, and put her in the back of his father’s pickup truck.

Apparently when he found out she had died, he dumped her body in a nearby Old Town wooded area, and covered it with leaves and branches. The affidavit fails to detail the manner in which Dube abducted Cable as well as the cause of death. Her body is currently under examination by the medical examiner’s office.

Investigators were able to determine that Cable had been in contact with the fabricated Facebook account, which was set up in the name of her friend Bryan Butterfield. The account was used to schedule a meeting in order to sell her marijuana and subsequently led to her kidnapping. The real Bryan Butterfield commented that he suspected it was Dube because Cable had rejected his sexual advances on multiple occasions, says the HuffPo.

Nichole Cable’s corpse was found after investigators, with the help of Facebook officials, traced the made up account to Dube’s parents’ home in Orono and Dube’s girlfriend told them where they could find it which they did on the night of May 20.

Only yesterday the affidavit was made public by a judge’s ruling that it would remain concealed until Dube was indicted, which he was by a Penobscot County grand jury on charges of murder and kidnapping. If convicted, he could face 25 year to life in jail.
