Two men and a woman, all from Barrhead, are now facing charges in relation to the disappearance of a Salmon Arm man.
45 year-old Valentine Degenhardt was last seen at a gas station in the Alberta town back on July 17, 2013.
He was reported missing two days later by his common-law spouse.
According to Mounties, hikers found Degenhardt’s Jeep Grand Cherokee in a remote area off Highway 32 between Whitecourt and Swan Hills, two hours northwest of Edmonton.
Investigators are continuing to look for his body.
They’ve since charged 46 year-old Norman “John” Jerrett with First degree murder, Robbery, Break and Enter and Indignity to a dead body.
Norma McAllister is charged with Break and Enter as well as Accessory after the fact, while 29 year-old Carl McAllister faces a single count of Accessory after the fact.
All three have been remanded in custody.
They’ll be in Barrhead Provincial Court next on November 26th, 2013 to answer to the charges.
