‘He needed to be caught, so no one else gets hurt’

IN SOME strange way, the former wife of fugitive doctor Rory Doyle, the mother of his two children, wishes he had disappeared forever.

The doctor, who has spent years trying to avoid answering to charges he molested two underage girls, has put Alva Doyle, his children and alleged victims through a terrible 12-year rollercoaster ride of emotions, she says.

“It is selfish but if he had disappeared that would have been the end of it,” Alva says from her home in Florida, where Doyle may finally face the trial he first fled from in 2001.
