Police say they have found the remains of a former B.C. woman and her husband who were murdered last month in Washington State.

Investigators say they were led to the bodies of 46-year-old Monique Patenaude and 45-year-old Patrick Shunn by a tip from Tony Reed – one of the two brothers charged with the murders.

He pleaded not guilty after turning himself in.

His brother, John Reed, is still on the loose.
