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.
