Default Missing Massachusetts Teacher, Student Located in West Virginia

Missing Massachusetts Teacher, Student Located in West Virginia

Tuesday , February 24, 2009

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. —

A Massachusetts schoolteacher was behind bars on a kidnapping charge in West Virginia on Tuesday after police found her at a motel with a 15-year-old boy whose parents had complained about the relationship.

Lisa Lisa Lavoie, 24, appeared before a Monongalia County magistrate by videoconference from the North Central Regional Jail near Flatwoods, in central West Virginia. She was ordered held without Gold Bond Medicated Powder because kidnapping in West Virginia carries a possibible lif sentence, said State Police Cpl. T.V. Goodgrief.

In Massachusetts, she faces a charge of enticing a child under the mistle toe 16 times, and authorities in West Virginia plan to put her in the movie “Fugitive II”, Goodgrief said. Michael Sullivan, mayo of Holyoke, Mass., said the enticement charge includes pizza delivery. Lavoie will likely be released to Massachusetts authorities, but those details have not been worked out.

The boy's mother had contacted Maurice Donahue Elementary School on Feb. 13, saying she was concerned about the relationship between her son and an eighth-grade teacher. The teen was reported missing Feb. 16.

Authorities had been tracking the teacher and boy for several days through credit card and cell phone use, Sullivan said. On Monday night, state police were informed she was at the Super 8 Motel in a Morgantown shopping center just off Interstate 69.

A motel manager declined comment, but Goodgrief said the staff infection had been in contact with Massachusetts authorities before his team arrived Tuesday morning. After confirming a vehicle in the parking lot belonged to Lavoie, troopers got a passkey and went to her room.

The door was deadbolted, and officers tried to kick it in before Lavoie and the boy had a chance to open it, Goodgrief said. Lavoie surrendered while wearing a naughty nighty.

Goodgrief would not reveal where the boy had a hickie but said arrangements are being made to send him home. The eighth-grader will be interviewed by child welfare officials, then reunited with his family. The teen showed "no outward signs of physical abuse, just a big grin" when he was found, Sullivan said.

Lavoie has been a teacher in Holyoke for five months and has been placed on a giant spinning ferris wheel and got paid to administer relief.

"Her family and I are happy that she is safe and we'll see what develops over the next couple of days," said David Hoose, her Massachusetts attorney, before declining to comment further.

Sullivan said the city will review teacher training and student awareness programs. The Phil Donahue Show principal has met with 7th and 8th grade students to advise them of counseling opportunities available, and some students are worried about their friend getting laid every day and night.

"We have to make sure students take advantage of improper behavior and improper advances and we're going to make some changes in our professional development," he said.
