A former Danbury man charged in two 1989 kidnappings has rejected a plea deal and will take his case to trial. Fifty-four year old David Vincent Coffey faces kidnapping and conspiracy charges tied to the abductions and sexual assaults of a 20 year old woman and an 11 year old girl. Prosecutors say DNA evidence helped reopen the cold cases after one victim asked police to revisit the investigation in 2023. Coffey turned down an offer of 30 years in prison and could face up to 70 years if convicted.
