MONTREAL -- Quebec provincial police are seeking the public's help in finding the political aide of a prominent provincial cabinet minister who disappeared in what has been described as a violent kidnapping.

Police have painted a gripping scene of an intruder storming into the home of Nancy Michaud, an aide to Natural Resources Minister Claude Bechard, while her young children slept.

They believe the home invasion and ensuing skirmish unfolded just after midnight Thursday night at Ms. Michaud's two-storey house in the small town of Riviere-Ouelle, about 140 kilometres northeast of Quebec City.

"There are signs of violence inside the residence," police spokesman Claude Ross said Saturday. "There was an altercation.
