MONTREAL -- Quebec provincial police are calling on the public to help find the missing political aide of a prominent provincial cabinet minister.
Const. Claude Ross says police will release security-camera footage from a bank in hopes of tracking down apparent kidnapping victim Nancy Michaud, an employee of Natural Resources Minister Claude Bechard.
Michaud's husband reported her missing Friday when he came home around 2 a.m. and couldn't find her. He had been working late.
Her children, aged six and 18 months, were sleeping without any adults in the two-storey house.
Ross says there were signs of a violent altercation inside Michaud's home in the town of Riviere-Ouelle, northeast of Quebec City.
Police believe the 37-year-old was dragged into a car sometime overnight and then taken to a nearby bank where two withdrawals were made from family accounts at an automated teller around 1 a.m.
He says police fear for Michaud's life.
Police also say they have no evidence her disappearance is linked to her political work.
