The remains of Klaus’s father and sister, Gordon and Monica Klaus, were found in the rubble of a burned-out farmhouse near Castor last December.
His mother, Sandra Klaus, wasn’t found but RCMP have said that they believe she also died in the fire.
Emergency responders found the family’s dog shot dead outside the home when they arrived at the scene.

Three days after the fire, police found the family’s white GMC Sierra truck abandoned about 30 kilometres away.
Jason Klaus lived in a home across from his parents but was unharmed. He told media that his sister had been visiting.
In August, the RCMP arrested Frank and Jason Klaus.
