ALFRED (AP) — Jury selection is under way for a Maine man who triggered the state’s first Amber Alert for allegedly attacking his ex-girlfriend, taking their 2-year-old daughter and setting off a 30-hour manhunt that spanned three states.
Trial is set in York County Superior Court in Alfred for 39-year-old Gary Traynham, who has pleaded not guilty to gross sexual assault, aggravated assault, burglary and criminal restraint.
Prosecutors say Traynham broke into the Sanford home of his ex-girlfriend in November 2009, sexually assaulted her and took off with their daughter. Traynham and the girl were found the following day — in Milton, N.H. — by a hunter.
