CANTON, N.Y. (CBSNewYork/AP) – A northern New York couple accused in the kidnapping of two young Amish sisters may have also planned to abduct other children, authorities said Saturday.

St. Lawrence County Sheriff Kevin Wells said “there was the definite potential” of additional victims besides 7-year-old Delila Miller and 12-year-old Fannie Miller, who were returned to their family late Thursday.

Stephen Howells Jr. and Nicole Vaisey, both of Hermon, were arrested on Friday.

Police also said Saturday that the two sexually assaulted the victims.

4. I remember that case.

She made a plea deal if I remember right.

5. Considered the worst plea deal in Canada's history

She ratted out her husband when she knew authorities were closing in. They had enough evidence with the diary alone to put both away for life. She is happily living it up in Guadeloupe. Her sister is still dead (along with two other women).

6. Well I hope the prosecutors here do a better job.
