CALGARY – RCMP have recovered human remains that they’ve identified as 32-year-old Nicholas Lush.
RCMP located the human remains in the Longview area on Monday, and the Calgary Medical Examiner’s Officer identified the remains late on Wednesday afternoon.
Cochrane RCMP have charged two Calgary men with the murder of 32-year-old Nicholas Lush.
Lush was reported missing after disappearing late last month; he was last seen leaving a Springbank house party in the early morning hours of Sunday, March 29th.
That same morning, a motorist witnessed an assault taking place at an overpass west of Calgary.
On Monday, police announced they had charged 24-year-old Cody Kenneth Bauer and 22-year-old Kristopher Goerzen with first-degree murder.
Police arrested both men in Cranbrook on Sunday.
FAMILY STRUGGLES WITH LOSS
A family friend said Denise Lush had the difficult task of telling her three children their father wasn’t coming home.
“She is a rock,” said Dana Heald.
“She’s been really amazing of course she has had to hold it together for her kids’ sake.”
“She has her moments – it feels very unreal to her at times.”
“This is the worst outcome we could possibly imagine. This is heartbreaking and has devastated the family,” added Heald.
COURT DATES SCHEDULED
The family said he knew the two accused through a cousin.
Goerzen is scheduled to appear in Cochrane Provincial Court on April 14th, while Bauer is scheduled to appear on April 21st.
