ALGER COUNTY -- The case of a Canadian man, accused of trying to kidnap a 12-year-old Munising girl last November, will resume on Monday.
Forty-one-year-old Mohamed El Fechtali from Quebec is charged with attempted kidnapping and enticing a child for immoral purposes.
Police say El Fechtali confessed to the kidnapping during a police interview.
The judge threw out his confession, but the Michigan Court of Appeals reversed the decision and sent the case back to Alger County Circuit Court.
The defense maintains El Fechtali was just asking the girl for directions and offered her a ride home.
