Campbell was last seen alive on September 11, 2015. Her body was found five days later near the ramp to the MacDonald Bridge.
Garnier’s lawyer, Joel Pink, has filed a bail application on behalf of his client and says it wouldn’t be unusual for someone facing a murder charge to be released pending trial.
“Just this week, we saw that Mr.Oland got out, so why should not Mr. Garnier get out?,” Pink said. “We’ll let the judge decide that in due course.”
