He’s charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Lyle and Marie McCann, who disappeared while headed to B.C. in July 2010 to visit family. Their burnt-out motorhome was found two days later west of Edmonton, but their bodies have yet to be found.
Two months ago, a date was to have been set for Vader’s preliminary hearing, but his lawyer - who appeared on his behalf – asked for and received more time to review the evidence.
