The man accused of killing Carol King appeared in Saskatoon provincial court on Tuesday for the start of a preliminary hearing.
David Caissie was arrested in July 2016 and charged with first-degree murder in the death of King and offering an indignity to a human body.

The arrest came after a lengthy RCMP investigation that lasted nearly five years after King was reported missing on Aug. 6, 2011.
Days after she was reported missing, King’s vehicle was recovered near her Herschel-area home, submerged in water.
King’s remains would be found less than three weeks later by local residents, six kilometres from where her PT Cruiser was found.
