BANGOR, Maine – A 15-year-old girl found dead in woods north of Bangor knew the man charged with killing her, her best friend said, contrary to early reports that before her disappearance she’d headed outside her Glenburn home to see someone she recently met on Facebook.
Kyle Dube, 20, of Orono, had been friends with the victim, 15-year-old Nichole Cable, for a couple of months, and they’d made plans to see each other the weekend that she disappeared, said Tyler-Ann Harris, 16, who described herself as Nichole’s best friend.
Dube was due to appear in court on Wednesday, a day after he was charged with murder after a body believed to be Cable’s was found in Old Town.
Before the court appearance, police declined to reveal the circumstances of her death, describe her relationship with Dube or discuss the evidence they have against him. Nor was it clear whether a Facebook relationship had anything to do with her disappearance and homicide.
More details were expected to emerge once police submit an affidavit of probable cause, which could happen as early as Wednesday.
