Vader is charged in the deaths of Lyle and Marie Mccann. The McCanns disappeared in July 2010 while on their way to a family gathering in British Columbia.
A burnt-out motorhome belonging to the McCanns was found west of Edmonton two days after they were last seen, but their bodies have never been found.
It’s still not known when a trial date will be set.
