A man accused of luring a 15-year-old girl to her death over Facebook was intending to abduct her then stage a fake rescue so he could be hailed as a hero, a court has heard. Kyle Dube, 21, is charged with the 2013 murder of Nichole Cable, who was found in woodland in Bangor, Maine, after an eight-day search. Police have said Dube told others that he'd intended to abduct Nichole and later come to her rescue. His plan was to kidnap her while wearing a ski mask, return later without the disguise, find her and be hailed as a hero, authorities have said.
