Wannabe Hero Staged Kidnap of Maine Girl: 15-Year-Old Nichole Cable Killed by Kyle Dube

A man was indicted on murder charges after a kidnapping gone wrong, using a fake Facebook account to lure a teenage girl to her death, according the state police affidavit.

Bangor Daily News reported that an affidavit was released on Wednesday after the Penobscot County grand jury indicted Kyle Dube, 20, of Orono on charges of murder and kidnapping of 15-year-old Nichole Cable.

Dube wanted to "kidnap Nichole and hide her; that he would later find her and be the hero," according to the affidavit.

The affidavit stated that Dube used a fake Facebook account to lure Cable out of her home. Dube created a fake Facebook page using the name Bryan Butterfield of Bangor to communicate with Cable.

Dube's brother, Dustin Dube, cooperated with authorities during the investigation.

According to the affidavit, Dustin told them Kyle had Cable "meet him down the road [from her house]; that he waited in the woods wearing a ski mask; that he had duct tape; that he jumped out of the bushes and took Nichole; that he duct taped her; that he put Nichole in his father's pickup truck; that when he removed Nichole from the truck she was dead; that he dumped Nichole's body in the woods near the Dysart's gas station in Old Town; that Nichole is in the woods covered in sticks."

Cable was reported missing to the Penobscot County Sheriff's Office by her mother, Kristine Wiley, at 8:27 a.m. May 13, the affidavit said.

Deputy Attorney William Stokes said told the Bangor Daily News before Dube was indicted that "the medical examiner had ruled Cable's death a homicide. He said exactly how the girl died could not be determined until tests are completed by the Maine State Police Crime Lab."

Dube is being held without bail at the Penobscot County Jail. The court has not set an arraignment date. His potential sentence is between 25 years and life in prison if convicted.
